Who are the after-goalers?

"After-goaler" is a player at a betting company pari match desktop who bets in play on an event that has already taken place a couple of seconds ago, but with the same odds. For example, the player is at the stadium, the team scores a goal, and he bets on the event for a few seconds before the company changed the odds.

Such bets are available because of the shortcomings of the betting scouts and delays in broadcasts on the bookmaker's website, on the timing of which bets are taken.

Fans of catching "after-goal" betting companies bypass and do not welcome, because such players violate the tenet of sports betting - the supremacy of betting. Betting on an event that has already taken place levels this principle, which is a flagrant violation of the rules.

Scheme of bets on completed events

There are several factors that allow a bettor to bet on an already known outcome:

• Technical error: any mechanism can fail, including the operation of the betting shops. Sometimes the process of changing events and adjusting odds is slowed down, which is willingly exploited by bettors;
• Human error: A trader at a betting shop can also malfunction, just like machines. Banal inattention or fatigue can cause errors and delays in the line;
• Player's speed: we have already written about this above. Bettor in the stands during the match may be ahead of the bookie for a couple of seconds.
• technical equipment of bookmakers is regularly improving, so it becomes more difficult for "after-goalers" to work;
• cunning of the scouting service: it happened that the scouts of the BC, responsible for the prompt transfer of relevant data to the system of the office, deliberately slow down their work in order to make a profit. This variant is rare, because in such a situation the scout takes huge risks;
• Broadcasting delays: Often the live broadcasts are delayed. This circumstance plays against the BK, but helps the "after-goalers" a lot.

Bookmakers' methods of dealing with after-goalers

Bookmakers have already developed mechanisms to counteract fans of betting on events that have already taken place. Bookmakers calculate such players by the time indicator, which is tracked by the system. The indicator will be a reference point for accepting a legitimate bet on a particular event.

After that, the monitoring of the time of all bets acceptance on this outcome is carried out. Those bets the reception time of which exceeds a legitimate index are sent for checking. If such a bet is a single player, it is unlikely that sanctions will be applied to him. The bettor with regular suspicious betting timings the bookmaker's office has the right to define as an "after-goaler" and subject to severe restrictions.

Sanctions vary in weight and severity. The loyal reaction from the BC in relation to such a bet is a return - the player will calculate this bet at odds of 1, and the bet amount will return to the gaming account.

If the office will show leniency by admitting an error in the system, the bet will be calculated at the market odds, which the BC has set long before the outcome of the event.
