Win money with Anytime Goal Scorers

If you bet on a regular basis, it is natural to have particular markets that you favour. You may have had plenty of success with a certain type of bet or you may have developed an efficient way of researching certain statistics. The Anytime Goal Scorer (AGS) market is a favourite with many regular bettors so let’s take a look at the reasons why.

Anytime Goal Scorer bets explained

The principle of AGS betting is very simple – you place a bet on a player to score a goal at any point during the regulation 90 minutes of a football match including time added on for stoppages and injuries.

If your player scores, you win – it’s that easy. Your bet will become active as soon as your player takes to the field, so even if they only play as a substitute, your bet still stands. If your player does not take part at all, the bet is voided and your stake is returned.

It does not matter whether the goal is scored first, last or otherwise, as long as it is accredited to the player you have chosen, you will win.

This type of bet can add extra interest and excitement to a game you are watching because the bet has a chance of paying out right until the final whistle or until the player is substituted.

How to Win

The Anytime Goal Scorer market is good because it allows you to bet on games in any league or country even if you do not have an in-depth knowledge of that league.

It is also a market where you can easily spot trends with a little research. Many gamblers who explore this market look for opportunities at all levels of football across many different leagues.

The trick is to find players that are having or entering a good run of scoring form – if that player happens to be a midfielder or even a defender, you will get much better odds. You will need to consider the quality of the oppositions defence (looking at some basic statistics will give a good idea of this); whether the player has been scoring at home or away – or both; and whether your player is a regular set piece taker.

If cases where you are more familiar with the league, you can look at other factors such as whether a player has hit the bar a lot or been unlucky not to score recently. They may also have had a goal or two wrongly disallowed or been rested against a weaker team in the last match. There are times when a player might not have scored for a few games but you still back them because your research suggests that their chance of scoring a goal is still high and the odds are very good.

More often than not, the betting companies do not take all of these factors into account and may give you an extremely generous price. They are also inclined to give slightly better prices if you look away from the top leagues. So try and stay one step ahead and you will find some great opportunities.

Other things to look out for

There are some things to be aware of in the AGS market such as players that are injured and cup games where regular players are often rested or rotated.

It is also important not to assume that regular goal scorers always play for the top teams or that they even have a history of prolific scoring.

For example: Spanish striker Borja Viguera scored just three times during a five year spell at Real Sociedad between 2007-12. All three of his goals came whilst he was on loan at other clubs. He eventually moved to Deportivo Alavés in the third tier of Spanish football and scored 21 times in his first season and helped them gain promotion. His scoring rate was even higher (25) the following season (2013/14) despite the team struggling at the foot of the second division table. During that second year at Alaves, Viguera was regularly available at a very good price in the AGS market, a fact that many smart punters noticed and took advantage of.

There are many other examples of players that have no history of high scoring suddenly entering a purple patch. Sometimes the bookmakers catch on quick and the prices tumble but by this time the eagle-eyed gamblers have already plundered the market and moved on to the next opportunity.
