Football bet settlement
What happens to my goalscorer bet if the player comes on in the 89th minute?
Direct answer
At Sportsbet, an anytime-goalscorer bet STANDS once the substitute takes the field, even in the 89th minute. A first-goalscorer selection is void if the player comes on after the first goal; other operators can use different terms.
How to use this answer
The principle is supported by the referenced rules, but a different operator or market can apply a different settlement condition. Treat the named provider as a specific example, not as a universal betting rule.
It depends on the bookmaker and goalscorer market: many anytime-scorer bets stand once a substitute plays, while some pre-match markets require a start.
For player, card and corner markets, the exact selection type matters. A singles rule is not automatically the same as a bet-builder rule; use the market definition and the settlement source for the operator shown on your slip.
