Football Rules: 5 Minute Markets

All bets placed on the William Hill Sportsbook are also subject to our

In a 5 minute market, you can predict on a certain event that will occur in a certain 5 minute period in the match.

Each bet will state which specific time frame has been selected and is divided into 5 minute windows, starting with 0:00 to 4:59, running up to 85:00 to 89:59.

For settlement purposes, events in injury time don't count.
Example: What will happen in the 0:00-4:59 time frame of the match. It can either be of these:
- Goal scored
- Corner awarded
- Penalty awarded
- Card shown
