Total Player Fouls
Market description: Predict whether the number of fouls made in a match by the named player will be over the number specified.
- Over one (1) foul = at least two (2) fouls 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 foul committed is defined as any infringement penalised as foul play by a referee that results in a free-kick or penalty event.
- Offsides are not given as a foul conceded.
- Incidents where a match official has played advantage and subsequently cautioned a player, don't contribute towards the total foul count for the player or team. In these scenarios a free-kick or penalty event must occur for a foul to be awarded.
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 fouls, bets placed on that player in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.
6. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.
7. 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 fouls 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 fouls 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.
8. Settlement of all stats markets will be based on data provided by OPTA (Part of the Stats Perform Group).

- 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.
