Football Rules: Player Specials
Market description: Predict the outcome of the player special market.
1. Bets are settled on the events that occur in normal time. This includes any injury/stoppage time added on by the match official at the end of normal time.
2. Extra time doesn't count.
3. If the selected player doesn't start the match, bets placed on that player in this market will be void.
4. If the selected player leaves the field of play before the player special market has been won, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.
5. If the selected player takes no part in the match, bets placed on that player will be void.
6. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.
7. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.
- If a match is abandoned and a winning selection has been established in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that selection in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners. Bets placed on other selections in this market will have already lost.
- If the selected player has left the field of play without winning the market in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will have already lost.
- If a match is abandoned and no winning selection has been established in the time played before abandonment, bets placed will be void, subject to normal abandoned match rules, because the match didn't play for the full duration.
8. Settlement of all stats markets will be based on data provided by OPTA (Part of the Stats Perform Group).
- OPTA stats are available here.
- OPTA may occasionally go back and make amendments to ensure accuracy. We'll settle all markets based on their final decision.
- Adjustments to the settlement of markets won't be made for changes or adjudications made by governing bodies after the event.
- OPTA have a long-established list of ‘Event Definitions’ which are adhered to across all of their data collection centres. They can be accessed here.
