The era of betting on the goals of football players began with them - Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. I can’t say that this is a fact, but I give a cut-off finger that these two appeared first in the lines of the best bookmakers for goals. Championship goals, Champions League records, free kicks and penalties, El Clasico goals, etc. KriRo and Leo have launched a betting trend on player goals around the world, which is now at its peak.
Journalists also played an important role in popularizing the painting on the players. For each top match, articles were written about possible records, beautiful goals of the past were recalled, a roll call was made between Maradona - Messi and Eusebio - Ronaldo. Five, ten, twenty notes about an inseparable couple - you can write about Ronaldo and Messi as much as you like.
The era of the best duo in history is coming to an end. But there are already Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, Emiliano Martinez, Vinicius Junior on the horizon. The more names, the wider the range of bookmakers for the match. The more you want to bet on someone else's goal.
Odds: few people think about margin
The second reason for the wildly growing popularity of goal betting is the odds.
A goal from a star player like Holland or Lewandowski can now be picked up in lanes for 1.50-1.90.
How many records have Erling Haaland already updated? Why not hit him again? And few people at the time of the formation of the coupon will think that the bookmakers have already included in the margin both Holland's goal and their profit.
