why are more goals scored in the final minutes? can we take advantage?

[PERtua]

The bookies that set the odds know all these, they use it to set odds that the bettors can not use to to make money from them unless the bettor is only lucky, but the luck which is for a short period of time and not long period of time.

I have bet on minute range for a team to score very well before, I lost more than win regardless of the time range that I selected.

That is how they want it. They have always wanted themselves to gain more than the players, that's why they always set the game in a way that players' outcome depends largely on luck. Also, players can't keep winning consistently, because if they fail to do what is necessary by walking away when away for their own good. Which the bookies will take advantage of that, whereby they will make the game more difficult for bettors and won't have any other choice but to put back all they have won, unless they take the necessary steps even if it goes against their emotions.

I totally agree with the key point. Bookmakers are aware that goals are more likely to come at the end of games. So it might not benefit bettors to simply wager on goals in the last minutes. That's factored into the odds and the bookmaker's margin is still added to the cost. Where I think it might be possible would be to spot a situation where the market has taken a beating on the match state. When it doesn't necessarily have to. For instance. If a team is trying to make an equaliser. They can generate more chances towards the end of the game but this does not mean that they will always score. Overall figures may be interesting but a comparison of the actual odds to the probability of scoring a goal in a particular game would be far more significant. I also would agree that discipline plays a key part in the picture. However a good gambling strategy won't always last. As a player might go on a losing streak and start betting his or her money back into more and more volatile games. It's unlikely there's a foolproof formula for consistently profiting from the late goal wave. Which means it may be crucial to know when to steer clear of the action as well as when to get in.

in some matches, when placing live bets, there are bets where you predict the period in which the next goal will be scored. do you think this can be exploited in terms of betting?

The bookies that set the odds know all these, they use it to set odds that the bettors can not use to to make money from them unless the bettor is only lucky, but the luck which is for a short period of time and not long period of time.

I have bet on minute range for a team to score very well before, I lost more than win regardless of the time range that I selected.

This is my experience, bookies ain’t people who set odds anyhow. They have many data and statistics that they are using, including how teams works, and when they can likely score. So even if people are winning sometime, it will be hard to consistently make profit from betting because those odds already Favour’s the bookmakers in long run.
I have tried minute range bets for teams to score before, and truthfully, my losses are more than my wins regardless of the time range that I choose.
 
This one has made me believe that luck can help people to win in short term, but relying on luck in longterm profit does not really make sense.

During the last few minutes a lot of things can happen that changes the tragectory of the match and this can be as a result of pressure form both sides. In the final minutes there as are two things that can happen one of the teams can get discouraged or weaker while the other team gets pressured to push harder because they are scared of losing, this is what drives them to score at that minute. Most people assume that this is something that happens because it is fixed but that's far from it, it is football and at the end of the day anything can happen.

Taking advantage of it is possible but you must always remember the fact that it is still risky because it is not every game that this actually happens, you cannot always expect a goal to be scored in the final minutes, it is not guaranteed.

[Adiljutt156]

It's interesting but never works like it's showing because in many cases players are tired, and the team having an advantage wants to bring a slow down in game tempo, while in many cases things like these work because few players have done enough in the last minutes because they always feel it's the right time for having a change in result because they have a strategy of going through like this.

This report is showing data of two season mean its can be happen because everything is possible while teams are having changes and no doubt this could be advantage for few teams but this needs some changes as well because having 2 to 3 new players before 15 to 10 minutes can make good difference in game for creating chances or scoring goals.

OFC, that data can be used as a reference for placing bets. However, you need to remember that the data won't guarantee a winning bet in the end. Among the various options in football betting, one I dislike is predicting the minute a goal will be scored, this is usually divided into six part, such as:

• 0' - 15'
• 16' - 30'
• 31 - 45' (injury time included)
• 46' - 60'
• 61' - 75'
• 76 - 90' (injury time included)

Since we don't really know when a goal will happen, it makes our bets riskier, even with big odds. I prefer to bet on handicap or 1X2, it's wiser & safer.

[Smartprofit]

Yes, in my opinion, this can be used in sports betting.🙋

Of course, bookmakers sometimes prevent players from taking advantage of this opportunity, but it's still useful information. Identifying situations where bookmakers have set the odds incorrectly is a difficult and tedious job... However, it's precisely this job that allows players to win. Bookmakers make mistakes too.

A missed goal often occurs due to fatigue and inattention on the part of the goalkeeper and other players. People can't maintain concentration for the entire 90 minutes. Football is an incredibly energy-consuming game. Therefore, I consider the statistics provided objective. They correspond with my own observations.

In fact, a player doesn't necessarily need to strive to win all their bets. Winning more than 50 percent of the time is quite sufficient. In the long run, this will bring profit. Therefore, in my opinion, such opportunities should be taken advantage of.🧑‍💻

In theory it can be used by bettors in order to get some advantage against other bettors who have no idea about this statistics, but realistically, this information won't guarantee a win in the long term either.

About the reasons on why something like this happens, I assume it is because players get more pressured into scoring goals as the match reaches its end, so they can secure their win against their foes.

I have always assumed teams usually start slow in order to study their opponents so they get offensive after the first half of the match.

[HelliumZ]

In a football match, both teams have enough energy at the beginning and during this energy, both teams attack equally. But as time goes on, some weaker teams make more unwanted mistakes towards the end. And towards the end, usually both teams become aggressive and when some teams become aggressive, the defense becomes weak and this opportunity is used well by the strong team, resulting in multiple goals. In all these games, many teams initially draw goalless in the first half but in the second half, multiple goals are conceded towards the end. Here this opportunity can be useful for bettors, although in many cases it can also be an exception.

[Derekfunds]

Op, the thing here is being able to select those games that always score in the last minute of the game that is exactly where the problem lies, you can see the statistics and one can think or feel it is very simple but trust me it is not I mean it is same thing as those options we use to select in betting perhaps you can try and see if what I am saying is correct or not since there is no harm in trying. I have seen a game where they showed the option of when next goal will be scored but sometimes it do cut.

[Findingnemo]

Game gets intense in the last few minutes and players give extra effort that is converted into goals, and if you think you are exploited and made to be a loser just because you looks like winning a bet and end up losing in the last minute goal then you don't know the game, you are just having the surface level knowledge of soccer.

[Makus]

This is common mostly because the team that's losing would of probably want to equalize at the injury time or just score a goal. For example if Team A is winning Team B 2:0 in the final minutes there's a slim chance that team B would either score one goal at that minute or probably score two goals to equalize, we have seen this countless times in football but the problem here is that this doesn't happen everytime and it should not really be seen as something to take advantage of, soccer can be unpredictable and you cannot rely on such a pattern.

The dynamics of the game can change in the last few minutes and this has nothing to do with the bookies exploiting players or fixing the game, that's just what the game is all about.

This is an interesting finding, these patterns are only temporal. Remember Bayer Leverkusen's 2023/2024 season under Xabi Alonso as the head coach. During that season, when Leverkusen won the league, most of the goals were scored in the very late minutes. According to my online search on the internet, the record says 34 goals were scored after the 80th minute, and 17 out of 34 goals were during added extra minutes.

Exploiting makes it sound like you are in the wrong, as a bettor, you need to find loopholes in this game of luck and use them to your benefit. We strategize by finding solutions, this is why skill is important, and analyzing a team before betting is necessary.

[Inior]

If you see an opportunity in this you are free to take it but for me I don't really think that there is anything to take advantage of. From what you are trying to say here, you think that this can be a strategy that can be adopted but it is still very risky. Here is my take on this, goals can come in at anytime during a match, there are cases where no goal is scored through out the entire match and from the view of the bookmakers This isn't something that is used to cheat bettors as some people would say. When the outcome of a game changes towards the end of the match it is believed that the match has been sold out but that is not really accurate.
At the end of the match you cannot really expect both teams to be at the same energy level, one must be weaker and this is what the other team takes advantage of.

[Grace333]

Finally someone has created a thread concerning last minute goals. I've noticed most teams in Laliga for a while and I sure have seen how they don't score much goals but they like last minute revival. Teams like Real Madrid which is also a big team in league is guilty of this scenario. I wonder why they have to use this strategy probably just to torture their opponents with a long-term torment . Though the adrenaline that rushes due to that final minute is just enough to motivate players into using their best skill and strategies to get what they actually want. But when it comes to placing bet on this you just might be unlucky.

This is a better point as to why goals are being scored in the final minutes of the game in all competitions if I’m not mistaken. The pressure gets intense in the final minutes especially if that goal will give them a point. When you’re playing against a team that’s very good defensively, while your offense is very good also, you’ll have a way around it more as even their defense could be destabilized because of the pressure being mounted on them to not concede a goal. This works often but not in most cases and gamblers looking to use this as an advantage while betting will only end up getting disappointed because of how unpredictable the game of football can be.

Teams that starts slow to study the match are mostly big opponents against each other, it doesn’t work like that for most teams that are playing against a lesser team to them in performance and everything.

[Franctoshi]

while looking at statistics for various leagues, i came across the distribution of goals scored by minute in la liga last season. as i examined the data, i would have considered it normal for more goals to be scored in the final minutes, but i didn’t expect the difference to be that significant.

https://statsultra.com/when-are-most-goals-scored-football/



the minutes shown here as 41-50 and 81-90 include stoppage time, but even when we calculate the average, we still see that significantly more goals are scored in the final minutes compared to the game as a whole.

in some matches, when placing live bets, there are bets where you predict the period in which the next goal will be scored. do you think this can be exploited in terms of betting?

I don't think there's something much significant about this; however, this could be just a coincidence in this angle, or another major cause of this could be that the teams are beginning to get exhausted or weak, leaving the defense line weak and in a porous situation for goals to start pouring in when these players are tired, especially after running around the pitch for about an hour and some minutes (70-85 minutes).
Secondly, a tactical system change towards the end of the game and substitutions that each team usually makes to bring in new energy that can increase pressure and force an attack too for a possible goal scoring.

The pure truth is that you as the gambler cannot and can never ever outsmart/or beat the bookies.. Even in case when you win, that win was orchestrated mainly by luck and so it dosen't still erase the fact that the bookies will always have the edge.. If the bookies notices that goals are scored towards the ending just like you said, they too will want to adjust the odds in a way that doesn't put them at a loss.. And mind you, football matches are very much unpredictable, just because a match followed a particular pattern and gave a particular outcome doesn't guarantee the same outcome in the future ahead..

Even if I were to settle with this statistics of yours, I wouldn't be so quick to just place a bet just because of that statistics of yours.. And so I would actually need to look at what is happening in the match before assuming that there would be a last minute goal.. For example if there are late minutes red cards or injuries, or even one team constantly loosing possession to the other team thereby making it easier for more pressure to be mounted on that team, then these things can give me a better idea of what to expect next from the match..

[Bryan jessy]

The last minute is usually the time where players tends to give their very best and exhaust the remaining energy left in them especially for teams who did not score any goal from the beginning of the game, they will want to fight to get one while the opponents that has already scored is trying really hard to defend and stop the other team from over powering them or taking the lead, the last few minutes feels like the last breath so they keeping gasping to survive a little more before giving up, speaking of betting in the last minute, it's risky but if you are ready for the outcome you can try your luck.

[OgNasty]

As other have stated, fatigue definitely plays a part when it comes to the end of sports matches. That is why training is so important to professional athletes. I’ve never thought about how to take advantage of this with live betting, but maybe the over/under near the end of games is worth exploring.

[Floxynice]

I may not be too good at analysing football, but I still have this knowledge that those last-minute goals are not something that happens all the time. Sometimes, the last goals come from penalty kicks. Does that too count as part of the increased goals in OP's statistics? Maybe.

How possible is it for someone to successfully exploit this, knowing full well that it is still a gamble and the game might not end as he expects? Successful bettors can explain this better, but I really do not see the possibility. Or I should just say that the chances are very slim too.
