What Is “Goalkeeper Anytime Goalscorer”?
Goalkeeper Anytime Goalscorer is a special football betting market where you predict whether a goalkeeper will score a goal at any point during the match (90 minutes plus stoppage time, usually excluding penalty shootouts unless stated).
Because goalkeepers rarely score, this market usually comes with very high odds and is considered a high-risk, high-reward bet.
How the Bet Works
- You select a goalkeeper from a match.
- You bet that the goalkeeper will score at least one goal at any time.
- The goal can come from:
- A penalty
- A free kick
- A corner or open play (usually late in the game)
If the goalkeeper scores even once, the bet wins.
Common Market Variations
Bookmakers may offer the market in different forms:
- Goalkeeper Anytime Goalscorer – Yes
- Goalkeeper to Score – Yes/No
- Any Goal Scorer (Including Goalkeeper)
Some bookmakers list goalkeepers separately, while others include them in the general goalscorer list.
Examples of Goalkeeper Anytime Goalscorer Bets
Example 1: Penalty-Taking Goalkeeper
- Match: Almería vs Sevilla
- Goalkeeper: Fernando Martínez
- Bet: Goalkeeper Anytime Goalscorer – YES
If Fernando takes and scores a penalty during the match, the bet wins.
Example 2: Late Corner Situation
- Match: Bayern Munich vs Mainz
- Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer
- Situation: Bayern are losing 1–0 in stoppage time
- Neuer goes forward for a corner and scores with a header
Anytime Goalscorer bet on Neuer = WIN.
Example 3: Free-Kick Specialist
- Match: Porto vs Benfica
- Goalkeeper: Agustín Marchesín (hypothetical example)
- If he takes a free kick and scores, the bet wins.
When Does the Bet Lose?
The bet loses if:
- The goalkeeper does not score
- The goalkeeper is substituted before scoring
- The goalkeeper only scores in a penalty shootout (unless stated otherwise)
Why Are the Odds So High?
- Goalkeepers rarely score
- Most matches end without a goalkeeper attempting a shot
- It’s an unpredictable event
Odds can range from 50.00 to 500.00+, depending on the goalkeeper and match situation.
