Anyone aware as to whether this is a market where players have to actually get on the pitch for bets to stand?
Or whether any bets will stand regardless of appearing or not.
Rules seem a bit vague to me, certainly compared to other markets that have more defined, specific rules.
They seem to suggest that the bet becomes active after a player takes the pitch, but it could be clearer imo.
Cards will only count which are shown to players after they take the pitch for the first time and before they leave the pitch for the final time. This market applies to 90 minutes and any injury time. Extra Time is included.
That seems to be put in there to address the matter of someone being sent off from the bench, rather than someone never taking the pitch through injury or being sent home. Perhaps it is designed to cover both but other markets spell it out a lot clearer.

Because that is telling you the circumstances under which you will win, should a card be shown to your player after he has taken the pitch.
It does not tell you whether the bet (or lay) will be void should the player never make it on the pitch or, in the case of someone like Ferdinand, never actually make it to the World Cup. Ferdinand will not have any cards shown to him that meet that criteria, so any bet on him obviously can't possibly win. But other markets are specific, often with it bolded, in making it clear that bets do or don't stand should the player never make an appearance. |
