If you want to make a good and quick profit, then the first goalscorer market is the one you should be looking at. You can usually get good odds on this market and it requires little research, especially if you are already familiar with the teams. Check out some england world cup bets.
The first goalscorer market is self-explanatory really – you are betting on who will score the first goal in the match. This market is fun and keeps you at the edge of your seat during a game. There is the opportunity for a big win from only a small bet.
There is obviously only one player that can score first, and it can be from either team. If the player didn’t start the game and was not on the pitch when the first goal was scored, the bookmaker will usually give your money back. If the first goal is an own goal, then the market will be decided on who scores the second goal.
The skill to this market is recognising players that give value to this bet over a number of games. An example of this is Frank Lampard and Michael Essien from Chelsea. The gut instinct would be to back Lampard every time because he always scores a lot of goals. However when looking at the stats, although Lampard scores a lot more goals, Essien scores the first goal in a game many more times than Lampard.
