Football betting is a minefield. There are so many options and markets to choose from these days but from a personal point of view it’s the one sport that has always left me frustrated and out of pocket.
I think the most likely explanation for that, other than I’m shit at football betting, is the attention bookmakers pay to their football odds.
They have much bigger teams of traders compiling their football odds to ensure their odds are correct. They are also quick to cut prices if they see some heavy investment on a small market from shrewd punters.
One market which I believe punters should concentrate on is the Anytime Goalscorer market. Of all the football bets out there, it’s probably one of the few markets which has seen me win money.
Long term profit is all about finding value. In markets like “Match Result” and “Both Teams To Score” value is always going to be tough to find given the disparity in odds from one bookmaker to the next is always so tight. It has to be. If it wasn’t, punters could easily bet on all outcomes and guarantee a profit.

That’s not the case with the anytime goalscorer market and as a result you often find one bookmaker offering much bigger odds than the rest. This is a simple and easy way to ensure you maximise your return from any winnings and get an edge on the bookies.
What should be looking out for in the Anytime Goalscorer Market?
Players with good goalscorer records
This is obvious. Strikers will always have the best goal ratios but that will inevitably lead to shorter odds. Often looking beyond the most likely scorer is where you find the value.
Players in good form
This for me is the key. There is no doubt certain players hit a rich vein of goalscorer form. Almiron, Rashford and Nkunku are 3 names which spring to mind that this season hit form and landed me some nice profit. When players are scoring goals and confidence is high they are likely to take more shots and get themselves into better positions. It’s no coincidence. So back players in form and you’ll be surprised at how good the odds are sometimes.
Players out of position
This can be a key way to find value. If a team is missing a key striker, another player has to slot in. You might find a winger suddenly playing centre forward but still price up for his record out wide.
If your new to betting on football then there are some good tipsters out there. For free tips on the Anytime Goalscorer market I would always point you in the direction of SportingLife. Tipsters like JimmyThePunt, Jake Osgathorpe and Tom Carnduff are part of their excellent team.
I think my favourite is Kevin Hatchard on the Betfair Football Only Podcast. His role is actually that of the host but he finds some real gems from the Bundesliga and was the reason I started banging the Nkunku drum (if you know you know).
If you want to pay for anytime goalscorer tips then AnytimeGS has been turning a good profit. At the time of posting this article his record shows a profit of +147 units with a 15% ROI after 800 bets.
At $29.99 a month this isn’t really for low stakes punters (£10 or less) but if you are willing to gamble a bit more and are quick off the mark you could make a decent profit following his selections.
