Player to Score & Team Wins in Football Sports Betting Explained
Player to Score & Team Wins is a combo (bet builder) market where two conditions must happen in the same match:
- A specific player must score a goal (anytime)
- That player’s team must win the match
If either condition fails, the bet loses.
How This Betting Market Works
Bookmakers merge Anytime Goalscorer + Match Result (Win) into one higher-odds selection.
You’re basically saying:
“This player will score, and his team will win.”
What Counts as a Goal?

- Penalty goals
- Free-kick goals
Own goals do NOT count
