Does extra time count in football bets?
Usually not. At the bookmakers whose general football rule we could confirm (all 10 we cover), bets settle on 90 minutes plus stoppage time, and extra time and penalties only count where the market says so, such as "to qualify" or "to lift the trophy". One exception we found: bet365's goalscorer markets include extra time if it is played.
