Football Rules: Player Shots


Market description: Predict whether the number of shots made in a match by the named player will be over the number specified.

  • Over four (4) shots = at least five 5 shots or more

 

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. A shot is defined as being any goal attempt that resulted in a goal being scored, would have resulted in a goal being scored but was stopped by a goalkeeper's save or by a defender, missed the goal, or hits the woodwork.

4. Bets placed on this market will stand if the selected player doesn't start the match but comes on as a substitute at any point in the match.

5. If the selected player leaves the field of play without making over the specified number of shots, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.

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

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

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

  • If a match is abandoned and the over selection has been won in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that selection in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners.
  • If a match is abandoned and the selected player has left the field of play without making the required number of shots in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will have already lost.
  • If a match is abandoned and the selected player is still on the field of play and hasn't made the required number of shots at the time of abandonment, bets placed on that player in this market will be void, subject to normal abandoned match rules, because the match didn't play for the full duration.

9. 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.
