First scorer - Each way (?)

Post by Block_5_Gooner »

Maybe a question for Reb and feel free to basement after a while.
What's the difference (or point!) to a First scorer - each way bet compared to an Anytime bet?

I've worked out that for an each way it's the first 5 goals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) so should should there be a 6th goal it would be void.
Thinking out loud is that the first 5 goals in the game or for the team?

We were just talking about this at work. Most of us would do a first scorer or possibly an Anytime so can't really see the point of an E/w bet as a first scorer?

6th goal will be loser in the game.

E/W are slightly better place odds than Anytime as it has limit of 5 places.

15/2 1st scorer will become 15/6 place odds or 5/2. Anytime price will be 9/4.

we dont take ew bets on first scorer, in fact no one has ever even asked for it. we do a good few anytime scorer and they are very profitable as the odds are very low and the chance of your player not scoring, injured, been subbed is very high :mrgreen:

I see Billy Hill has a new line for scoring 2 or more. Interesting is this.

Is the bet where you have to predict the first goalscorer and correct score called Scorecast? Anyway, I don't think I've met anyone who collected on this. Hard enough get one of them right never mind both.

I've got one right....once!

It's worth a cheeky punt, as an extra bet, if your either doing a first scorer or the final score.

Some of my mates do them. I don't even bother telling them how stupid they are any more.

"See Rooney to score first and Utd. to win 2-0 is X/1, great bet. Worth a fiver!!" is the kind of shite I hear regularly. To which I now reply, "ya, not bad."

Bad example but tonights game Oxford Vs Swindon.

(Ladbrokes)
Shortest odds for a correct score is a 1-0 away win @ 15/2

The shortest odds for a Swindon player to score first is @ 5/1

So if you were in for either of those it's worth an extra bet, even if it's a quid, as the scorecast is @ 28/1

maybe it was rooney 3-0, i cant really remember tbh , but we get memos telling us to push the scorecast bet as every bookie knows its such a big earner for them.

OK makes sense. Used to be my trade when it was a trade. Just my hobby now :-)
