Anytime Touchdown Scorer Meaning in NFL

When you are gambling on football events, there are plenty of different bets that you can place. Obviously, you can predict the winner. You can choose what the total combined score for the two teams will be.

You can even choose which team you believe will be winning at the halfway point.

However, these are not the only types of bets that you can place. You also have prop bets, such as anytime touchdown scorer and first touchdown scorer of the game.

So, what are these? Let's take a look.

 By the end of this page, you should know everything that you really need to know about the anytime touchdown scorer prop bet. 

What Is An Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet?

So, first things first. What is the anytime touchdown scorer meaning in NFL?

Well, it is pretty much what it says on the tin. When you place this type of bet, you are gambling on a certain player scoring a touchdown at any time in the game.

• It doesn't matter whether they score the first touchdown or the last touchdown.
• It doesn't even matter if they score that touchdown in the middle part of the game when nobody really cares too much.

All that matters is that they are scoring a touchdown at some point.

Are Touchdown Passes Covered By An Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet?

Only for the receiver.

While the person throwing the touchdown pass is going to be important to the play, they didn't actually score the touchdown.

• The person that caught the ball will be the one that scored the touchdown.
• So, you will probably want to bear this in mind when you are placing your bets.

If a player is known for their touchdown passes but not actual touchdowns, then it probably isn't going to be a very safe bet to place.

The Difference Between Anytime and First Touchdown Scorer Bet

On some sportsbooks, you may only be able to see the first touchdown scorer bets.

Of course, as the name suggests, if you want to win a first touchdown scorer bet, then the player that you select needs to be the first player to score a touchdown while on the field.

The odds for these bets will be much, much better than the anytime touchdown scorer bet.

After all, only one person is going to be able to score the first touchdown on the field, right?

If you opt for an anytime touchdown scorer bet, then it doesn't matter when your selected player scores.

 All that matters is that they score a touchdown while they are on the field. As we said before, this can be the first, last, or a middle of the game touchdown. It doesn't matter. 

How To Place a Touchdown Scorer Bet

Not all online sportsbooks will offer anytime touchdown scorer bets. This is because they can be somewhat easy to predict. After all, all NFL teams have players that score touchdown after touchdown.

If you can place a touchdown scorer bet, then you will likely find it listed under the ‘props' bets on a particular game.

• It may be buried deep on that page as it isn't really one of the most common types of bet that you can place on an NFL game.
• You will find that almost all of the players on the field are going to be listed there.
• Of course, the chance of some of these players scoring a touchdown at any point will be higher than others.

This is why it is important that you know how to read the betting odds for a first touchdown scorer bet.

We will discuss that in a bit more depth shortly.

Anyway, you will need to look for the player that you want to gamble on. Hopefully, you will be doing a ton of research before you make your pick.

You want the highest chance of winning, after all.

Once you have selected the player or players, that you believe will score a touchdown at some point during that game you can select your stake.

Hit that ‘Place Bet' button (or the equivalent on your selected sportsbook) and hope for the best!

How To Read Betting Odds For a Touchdown Scorer Bet 

When you are placing your bet for the anytime touchdown scorer, it is important that you understand how to read the betting odds.

After all, the betting odds will give you a rough idea about which player is most likely going to score the a touchdown in the game.

Now, betting odds can be displayed in several different ways at the NFL betting sites.

We are going to focus on a system known as American Odds. This is because we reckon that the vast majority of people that gamble on the NFL are going to be Americans.

American betting odds are easy to identify.

• You will see a number.
• This number will be preceded by either a -/+.
• For example, you may see +200 or -100.

The players that are most likely to score a touchdown will have a – before the number.

The higher the number, the more likely that player is to score a touchdown in the game.

What the number tells us is how much you would need to gamble to win $100 from that bet.

So, if you saw -200, then you would need to gamble $200 to win $100 (for a total win of $300).

If you see a + before a number, then the sportsbook doesn't really seem to think it is likely that bet will be a winner.

The higher the number, the less chance of that player scoring a touchdown at any point during the course of the game.

The number in this case will tell you how much you would win if you bet $100. So, the opposite to the other type of bet.

Once you start getting serious about your gambling, you will find it much easier to read odds in order to determine the probability of winning.

How Do You Research Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet?

 One of the fantastic things about any anytime touchdown scorer bet is the fact that they are pretty easy to research. 

Teams in the NFL average between 2 and 5 touchdowns per game. This means that there will be several potential touchdowns where a player could score.

All you really need to do is read team stats and news.

This will help you to get a feel for which players have scored the most touchdowns for a team.

However, try to avoid gambling on the person most likely to score a touchdown. If a player was scoring a touchdown every game, then the odds are going to be awful.

• Instead, you will want to look for the players that have a good chance, but not a 100% guaranteed chance, to score a touchdown.
• If a player is scoring touchdowns in many of the games that they play, it may be worth a bet.

Is It Worth Placing An Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet?

You won't win big bucks, but if you are betting on a team with a prolific touchdown scorer, it certainly could be a safe bet.

Conclusion

The anytime touchdown scorer meaning is pretty self-explanatory.

It means that you are gambling on a player to score a touchdown at least once during an NFL game. It doesn't matter when they score.

This is a stark contrast to the standard first touchdown scorer bet where, of course, you are betting on the first player to score a touchdown.
