How do Statistical Bets Work?
Bets on statistics are a component of the Superbet betting market that offers options based on data from OPTA Sports, a leading company in sports data. Among the options offered are shots on target, assists, fouls, corners, or even the scoring method!
Where can we find them?
Statistical bets can be found within the usual betting markets, or in the “Odds” section.
Where are the results obtained?
All statistical bets are validated by OPTA Sports, a company focused on sports statistics.
With the help of the site where the events are validated, you can check your bets on your own. All you need to do is select the date of the event for which you want to check the statistics and the league to which it belongs. There you will find detailed statistics about each player and team.
How is the validation done?
Shots on target: If the ball is heading towards the goal and would have gone in without the goalkeeper's save or another player's intervention, it counts as a shot on goal. Shots hitting the post directly are not counted unless they bounce in and a goal is awarded. Shots blocked by players other than the goalkeeper or the last defender are not considered shots on goal.
Assists: An assist is any final touch leading to a goal. If deflected by an opponent, it is still an assist if the ball would have reached the intended recipient without the deflection.
Offside: Offside is attributed to the player in the offside position sanctioned by the referee. If multiple players are offside, the one most active in the play attempting to play the ball is considered offside.
Method of scoring: Goal scoring methods include Shot, Header, Own goal, Penalty, Free kick, or No goal.
Shot - The goal must be scored with any part of the body other than the head, and the other types do not apply. Settlement is made using statistical data from Opta.
- Header - The final touch by the scorer must be with the head. Settlement is made using statistical data from Opta.
- Own goal - If the goal is declared as an own goal. Settlement is made using statistical data from Opta.
- Penalty - The goal must be scored directly from the penalty kick. Settlement is made using statistical data from Opta.
- Free kick - The goal must be scored directly from a free kick or corner kick to be considered a free kick goal. Settlement is made using statistical data from Opta.
- No goal - No goal scored
