Football Rules: Player Shots on Target

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

• Over two (2) shots on target = at least three (3) shots on target 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 on target is defined as being any goal attempt that resulted in a goal being scored or would have resulted in a goal being scored but was stopped by a goalkeeper's save or by a defender who's the last player.

4. Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal aren't counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.

5. Shots blocked by another player (who isn't the ‘last man’) aren't counted as shots on target.

6. A cross - even if dealt with by the keeper - isn't a shot on target.

• A cross is a medium- to-long-range pass from a wide area of the field towards the centre of the field near the opponent's goal.

7. 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.

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

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

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

11. 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 on target 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 on target 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.

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