Football Rules: Player to Score From Outside the Penalty Area

Market description: Predict a player from the options listed to score from outside the penalty area.

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. Own goals don't count towards outside the penalty area.

4. The whole of the ball must be outside the penalty area at the time it was struck to count.

5. If the selected player doesn't start the match and enters the field at any time, bets placed on that player will stand.

6. If the selected player leaves the field of play without scoring from outside the penalty area, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.

7. If the selected player takes no part in the match, bets placed on that player in this market will be void.

8. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.

9. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.

• If the selected player has scored from outside the penalty area in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners.
• If the selected player has left the field of play without scoring from outside the penalty area in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will have already lost and will be settled as losers.
• If the selected player is still on the field of play and hasn't scored from outside the penalty area at the time of abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will be void because the match didn't play for the full duration.

10. Settlement of all stats markets will be based on data provided by OPTA (Part of the Stats Perform Group).
