The top scorer betting market is one of the most interesting as it has two key factors that need to be considered.
Firstly, you need to weigh up which teams are going to go further into the competition. A country that’s knocked out in the group stage is unlikely to have the World Cup’s top goal scorer in its squad. The further they get, the more opportunity each player has to bag some more goals.
Secondly, you need to factor in what players are going to get the most time on the pitch and whether they have what it takes to convert that time into goals. That includes whether the player will be taking penalties and free kicks as they also count towards the final tally.
If you’re looking to make a top scorer bet, check out our World Cup 2022 betting tips to be sure you have all the information to make the right choices.
The first scorer bet is one of the simplest, you pick the player you think is most likely to score a goal first and it pays off if you’re correct. If you’re looking to make a bet on who will be the first scorer in any of the Euro 2020 matches, check out the price differentials for each player on our first goalscorer markets.
Half time/full time bets are where you make a wager on which team will be ahead after 45 and/or 90 minutes. If you think the teams will be tied at either of these intervals, you can also place a bet on it being a draw.
Betting on whether both teams will score in a game is another easy bet to understand. There are two possible outcomes: yes or no. When placing bets of this nature, it’s important to consider the defensive records of both sides. Of course, a team can win while still conceding, so you will want to look for matches where both teams have weak defences and strong attacking abilities.
