Football bet settlement
What happens to a goal-kick bet when the referee ends the match before it is taken?
Direct answer
A goal kick generally must actually be taken to count in restart-count markets; an awarded kick that is never taken before the whistle is normally excluded. Confirm the operator definition.
How to use this answer
This answer is based on the mathematical principle or published rule identified in the source below. If the question involves a live betting market, confirm its settlement definition before applying it to a specific bet.
Markets that require a goal kick to be taken generally exclude an awarded but untaken restart.
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.
