Football Rules: Race to X Goals Live
Market description: Predict which player out of two (2) named players will be the first to score the next goal.
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 one (1) of the players leave the field of play before either player has scored the next goal, bets still stand and if the other player subsequently scores the next goal, bets on the player who scored will be settled as winners.
4. If both of the selected players leave the field of play without scoring the next goal, bets placed on the players in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.
5. If neither of the named players scores the next goal, “ neither player to score ” will be the winner.
6. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.
7. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.
- If a player has scored the next goal before his opponent in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that outcome will have already won and will be settled as winners. Bets on other outcomes in this market will already have lost and be settled as losers.
- If the next goal hasn't been scored before abandonment, bets placed will be void, subject to normal abandoned match rules, because the match didn't play 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.
