The designation “Throw-in or Foul – What Happens First?” refers to a type of bet that includes two possible outcomes. It can be found in the additional betting lines for various sporting events.
Bet features
The “Throw-in or Foul — Which Happens First?” market consists of two components: a throw-in (when a player throws the ball back into play from the sideline) and a foul (a rules violation committed by a player). Both events occur in football.
This market is usually presented by bookmakers in two variations:
- “Throw-in before foul — Yes” means the referee will record a throw-in before a foul occurs during the match;
- “Throw-in before foul — No” means the referee will call a foul before a throw-in is awarded.
When is it profitable to place a “Throw-in or Foul — Which Happens First?” bet?
In a football match where a strong favorite faces an underdog, there is often a high number of attacking actions from the dominant side. In such a scenario, the defending team will frequently clear the ball out of play to slow down the opponent’s attacks. Therefore, in this case, it is more advantageous to bet on “Throw-in before foul — Yes.”
In a match between roughly equal teams, the game is usually more aggressive and physical, leading to numerous fouls. In this case, the preferred option is “Throw-in before foul — No.”
Possible outcomes
After placing a “Throw-in or Foul — Which Happens First?” bet, there are two possible results:
Win: The bettor correctly predicts which event — a foul or a throw-in — will occur first.
Loss: The bettor incorrectly predicts which event — a foul or a throw-in — will occur first.
