First Goal Time in sports betting refers to a market where you bet on the time range or minute in which the first goal of a match will be scored.
Common Types of “First Goal Time” Bets:
- Time Interval Bets – The bookmaker offers intervals like:
- 0–10 minutes
- 11–20 minutes
- 21–30 minutes, etc.
You bet on which interval the first goal will be scored in.
- Exact Minute – You predict the exact minute (e.g., 17th minute) the first goal will occur. These usually offer very high odds.
- Before/After Bets – You bet whether the first goal will be:
- Before the 30th minute
- After the 30th minute
- No Goal – You can bet that no goals will be scored during the entire match (common in tight or low-scoring fixtures).
Example:
- Bet Option: First Goal Time: 0–10 minutes
- Result: If the first goal is scored in the 8th minute, your bet wins.
Tips:
- Research teams’ average goal timings, especially the first-half stats.
- Consider teams with strong early starts or defensive setups.
- Weather, pitch conditions, or match importance can affect early scoring.
