Football Player to Assist a Goal and to be Carded
Market description: Predict a player from the options listed to assist a goal and to be carded in the match.
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.
4. If the selected player doesn't start the match and enters the field at any time, bets placed on that player will be made void.
5. An assist is defined as being the final pass or pass-come-shot leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal.
- A player winning a penalty which is subsequently scored won't count as having assisted a goal.
- If a player scores directly from a free kick, the player who's fouled won't be credited with the assist.
6. Only red or yellow cards shown to active players currently on the field of play prior to the final whistle will count.
- Cards issued retrospectively following a VAR review at half time count.
- Cards issued after the final whistle is blown following a VAR review, or for any other reason, won't count.
7. If the selected player leaves the field of play without assisting a goal and being carded, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.
8. If the selected player takes no part in the match, bets placed on that player will be void.
9. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.
10. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.
- If the selected player has assisted a goal and been carded 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 assisting a goal and being carded 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 assisted a goal and been carded 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.
