In the game of football, there are a whole host of things that someone can bet on, from how many corners will be awarded to how many bookings or fouls there will be throughout a game.
One of the most popular betting markets is without a doubt the goalscorer market, which allows you to bet on things such as who will score first, last or anytime throughout the match, and even how many they may score in that specific game.
Bet9ja offers a fantastic goalscorers market that allows you to bet on exactly that, bringing an extra layer of excitement to every match. Whether you are confident a star striker will get their goal, or want to take a chance on an unlikely source to hit the net, these markets provide a variety of options to suit both casual and more experienced bettors.
This guide will help to break down the different types of goalscorer bets available on Bet9ja, from first and last goalscorer bets to scorer time bets, helping you make more informed decisions.
Main Markets
First Goalscorer –
This market allows you to bet on who will score the opening goal of the match, for example, you could place a bet on Harry Kane to score first in Bayern Munich’s match against Aston Villa on Wednesday in the Champions League, and if he does, your bet wins.
Harry Kane to score first vs Aston Villa – 4.70
Last Goalscorer –
This market works similarly, but instead of who will score the opening goal, you are betting on who will score the last goal of the game. For example, if you think Harry Kane will score late on against Aston Villa then you could place a late goalscorer bet on him.
Harry Kane to score last vs Aston Villa – 4.70
Anytime Goalscorer –
This market is one of the most popular because it allows the most flexibility, allowing you to bet on a player to score at any point during the match, regardless of whether they score first or last, or in between.
For example, you could bet on Michael Olise to score anytime during the match, and as long as he scores, your bet wins.
Michael Olise to score anytime vs Aston Villa – 3.75
However, the ‘Anytime Goalscorer’ market also allows you to bet on a player to NOT score during a game. For example, you could bet on Ollie Watkins to not score anytime during the match, and if he fails to hit the net, then you have a winner.
Ollie Watkins to not score anytime vs Bayern Munich – 1.30
Number of Goals –
The final Main Market is ‘Number of Goals’, which allows you to place a bet on two options, these are ‘2 or more goals’ and ‘3 or more goals. For example, if you bet on Vinicius Junior to score two or more goals against Lille on Wednesday, and he scores two, then you have a winning bet, and the same principle goes for ‘3 or more goals’.
Vinicius Junior to score two or more goals vs Lille – 5.70
Scorer Time
This market allows you to simply bet on whether you think a player will score during the first half or second half of a match.
For example, if you are confident that Endrick will score at some point against Lille, then you could go one step further and bet on which half you believe he will score in. If you bet on the striker to score in the second half, and he does exactly that, then you have a winning bet.
Endrick to score anytime in the second half vs Lille – 4.40
Minutes
This market goes one step further again, allowing you to bet on a specific time period that you believe the goal may come from a certain player.
The options for the bet are for a goal to come between the 0-15th minute, 16-30, 31-45+ (including first-half stoppage time), 46-60, 61-75 and 76-90+ (including second-half stoppage time).
For example, if you think that Endrick’s second-half goal will be scored in the final 15 minutes of that game vs Lille, then you could bet on the striker to score within the 76-90+ minute.
Endrick to score between 76-90+ minutes vs Lille – 10.25
Combo Scorer
This market allows you to bet on a number of things, combining an anytime goalscorer bet with the final result of the match the player is participating in.
For example, if you believe Dusan Vlahovic is going to score anytime and the score will be 3-0 to Juventus against Leipzig on Wednesday, then you can place an ‘Anytime scorer & Correct Score’ bet for exactly that.
Dusan Vlahovic to score anytime and Juventus to win 3-0 vs Leipzig – 58.00
You could also make it simpler for yourself and place an ‘Anytime Scorer & 1X2’ bet, which allows you to simply bet on a player to score anytime and whether their team will win, lose or draw.
For example, if you think Mohamed Salah will score anytime and Liverpool will win against Bologna on Wednesday, then you could place an ‘Anytime Scorer & 1X2’ bet for exactly that, and if it happens, then you have a winner.
Mohamed Salah to score anytime and Liverpool to win vs Bologna – 1.91
