Which market type covers bets on player performance and event-specific outcomes?

• A. Novelty/prop markets.
• B. Pre-match bets.
• C. In-play bets.
• D. Futures markets.

Answer: (A)

Bets on player performance and event-specific outcomes fall under novelty or prop markets. These markets are built around specific propositions that can happen within a game or about a player's actions, rather than the overall result. Examples include whether a particular player will score, how many goals a player will have, who will win the first corner, or even more unusual bets tied to in-game events. Because they focus on these micro-outcomes, they’re categorized as novelty/prop rather than standard pre-match outcomes, live in-play actions, or long-term season bets.

Pre-match bets cover the main game results and typical statistics decided before kickoff, not the detailed player-by-player or event-by-event propositions. In-play bets are about actions as the game unfolds, which can include props but are defined by timing and live action rather than the specific prop focus. Futures markets involve long-term outcomes across a season or tournament, not single-game, event-specific happenings.
