The term “Own Goal – Yes/No” refers to a betting market that bookmakers regularly include in the additional lines for sporting events. The “Own Goal – Yes/No” market predicts whether an own goal — a goal scored by a player into their own net — will occur during the selected match.
This market can be found in the betting lines for football (soccer), futsal, hockey, water polo, and handball matches.
Special conditions of the bet
The wager is settled as a win only under one key condition: the ball (or puck) scored into the net must be officially credited as an own goal to the player responsible for it.
If the goal is credited to a player from the opposing team, the bookmaker will count the bet as a loss.
Possible outcomes
When placing an “Own Goal (Yes/No)” bet, the bettor can expect one of three possible outcomes:
Win: The bettor correctly predicts the presence or absence of an own goal in the sporting event.
Loss: The bettor’s prediction regarding the presence or absence of an own goal in the match turns out to be incorrect.
Refund: A refund is possible if the sporting event is officially canceled.
