🎯 Goalscorer & Player Markets

Learn how goalscorer and player markets work at Midnite, including goalscorers, own goals, substitutes and how player bets are settled.

Player markets let you back individual performances during a match, from goals and assists to shots and cards. Here's what you need to know.


Available markets

Depending on the match, you'll find markets including:

  • First Goalscorer

  • Anytime Goalscorer

  • Next Goalscorer

  • To Score 2 or More Goals

  • Player Assists

  • Player Shots

  • Player Shots on Target

  • Player Cards


Do own goals count?

Scored at the wrong end? Not for your goalscorer bet.

Own goals don't count towards goalscorer markets. For Next Goalscorer, an own goal is skipped and settlement moves to the next qualifying goalscorer.

Own goals can count in some team and total-goal markets, though, so always check the market you're betting on.


What if my player doesn't start?

Starting on the bench doesn't necessarily mean your bet's done.

For player-specific markets, if your player takes no part in the match, the bet is void. If they start or come on as a substitute, the selection stands.

Some specific markets have additional rules. For example, First Goalscorer selections are void if the player comes on after the first goal has already been scored.


Extra time and penalties

The 90 minutes are what matter here.

Unless a market states otherwise, football match markets are settled on the scheduled 90 minutes plus injury or stoppage time.

Extra time and penalty shootouts don't count towards standard 90-minute markets.


Check the market rules

Different player markets can have different settlement rules, particularly around substitutions, abandoned matches and when a player enters the game.

Check the Football Betting Rules for the full details.
