If the scorecast player does not start or comes on after the first goal is scored, then the bookmaker will usually settle your bet as a single. In case the player you backed to score the first goal does not even come on the pitch during the whole game, your bet will be voided. However, this depends on the bet you place. Here is an example. If you had selected Progba to be the first scorer in a game between Manchester United and Liverpool, you lose if he does not score first. However, if you had indicated that he would score in the course of the game and ends up scoring before the game ends, you will win the bet if the other prediction is right.
