Goalkeeper To Be Sent Off In Sports Betting 

“Goalkeeper to Be Sent Off” in sports betting refers to a specific player red card bet, where you are wagering that the goalkeeper will receive a red card (be sent off) during the match.

Key Points:

• “Sent off” means the goalkeeper receives a straight red card or two yellow cards leading to a red.
• The bet only wins if the goalkeeper is officially sent off during the game.
• It doesn’t matter why the red card is given — it could be for:
  • A professional foul (e.g. denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity)
  • Violent conduct
  • Time-wasting with a second yellow
  • Handling the ball outside the penalty box

Things to Note:

• The starting goalkeeper is usually the focus, unless otherwise specified.
• If the goalkeeper does not start the match, the bet may be voided (check your bookmaker’s rules).
• Odds are usually high because goalkeepers are rarely sent off.

Example:

You bet on “Goalkeeper to be sent off” in the match between Arsenal and Chelsea.

• If Arsenal’s keeper gets a red card, your bet wins.
• If the keeper finishes the game or is subbed off without a red card, the bet loses.
