A shot on target is defined as any attempt to score a goal that meets the following criteria:
- It enters the goal, regardless of the player’s intention.
- It is a clear attempt to score that would have resulted in a goal if it had not been saved by the goalkeeper or blocked by a defender acting as the last man, with no chance for the goalkeeper to prevent the goal (last-line block).
- The term “shot” refers to any attempt by a player to score a goal, regardless of the body part used to make contact with the ball (foot, head, chest, etc.).
What is not considered a shot on target?
- Shots that go off target.
- Shots blocked before reaching the goal.
- Shots that hit the post and were not going directly in.
- Shots blocked by a player who is not the last man are not considered shots on target.
- Corner kicks are excluded from the classification of shots on target, except when the ball goes directly into the goal from the corner (an “Olympic goal”).
- A cross from a corner that is saved by the goalkeeper or blocked by a defender is recorded as a cross (or as a pass in the case of a short corner), not as a shot on target.
When is the bet settled?
The bet is settled at the end of the match.
Only regular time is considered (90 minutes + stoppage time).
Extra time and penalties do not count.
How is it determined if you have won?
This depends on the type of bet.
You can follow the example below:
- Over 10.5: you win if there are 11 or more shots on target.
- Under 10.5: you win if there are 10 or fewer shots on target.
