In sports betting, the market “To Score First Goal and Win” is a combination bet that means:
The selected team must score the first goal of the match AND go on to win the match.
How It Works:
For your bet to win:
- Your team must score the first goal of the game.
- Your team must win the game in the end.
If either of these doesn’t happen (e.g., the other team scores first, or the match ends in a draw or your team loses), your bet loses.
Winning Example:
- Match: Arsenal vs Chelsea
- You bet on Arsenal – To Score First Goal and Win
- Arsenal scores first and wins 2–1 →
- Bet wins
Losing Examples:
- Arsenal scores first, but the match ends 1–1 → Draw, bet loses
- Chelsea scores first → First goal not by Arsenal, bet loses
- Arsenal scores first but loses 1–2 → Scored first, but didn’t win, bet loses
Why People Like This Bet:
- Higher odds than just betting on a team to win.
- Great if you expect a team to dominate early and stay ahead.
