Full Explanation
First goalscorer is a popular market where you bet on which player will score the opening goal of the match. If your chosen player doesn't play, the bet is void and your stake is returned. If they come on as a substitute after a goal is scored, the bet also voids. Last goalscorer and anytime goalscorer (scores at any point) are related markets. Anytime goalscorer is easier to win but at lower odds. In South African football, researching striker form, penalty-taking duties, and set-piece roles gives an edge. This market is popular in both pre-match and in-play betting on PSL and international football.
💡 Example
