Betting on an anytime touchdown scorer is one of the most popular types of prop bets you can make at top NFL betting apps and prediction markets.

This page breaks down what an anytime TD scorer bet looks like, how odds for these wagers are calculated, and where you can make these types of bets during the NFL season.

What is an Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet?

An anytime touchdown scorer bet is a wager on whether a specific player will score a TD at some point in a particular game. It doesn’t matter what kind of touchdown the selected player gets, whether it’s a rushing TD or a reception, so long as the player reaches the endzone at least once during the duration of the game.

You could put a bet on Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs as an anytime touchdown scorer. If they were playing the Green Bay Packers, for example, that would simply mean Gibbs would need to score at least one touchdown at anytime during the duration of the Lions vs. Packers game.

How to Read Anytime Touchdown Scorer Odds

If you make an anytime touchdown scorer bet with plus-money (e.g. +150 odds) then that means you’ll win $15 if you make a $10 wager for a total of $25 back.

On the flipside, at minus-money (e.g. -150 odds), you would only get $6.67 on a $10 wager for a total payout of $16.67.

Players like Gibbs would typically fall into the minus-money category because it’s expected that he will score a TD at some point in the game. There is typically better value on lesser likely-to-score players who the general public may not be as familiar with.

Anytime TD Scorer vs. First Touchdown Scorer

The distinction between these two common types of NFL prop bets is simple: an anytime touchdown scorer only requires the player to score at least once during the game while a first touchdown scorer requires the selected player to be the first one to reach the endzone.

First touchdown scorer bets typically have better payouts, but they are much more difficult to predict correctly against an anytime touchdown scorer bet.

Betting Anytime Touchdown Scorer Props in Parlays

Depending on the sportsbook you choose, you can typically add anytime touchdown scorer bets to standard parlays and same-game parlays (SGPs).

For example, you could make a SGP for a Lions vs. Packers game where you have Gibbs as an anytime TD scorer, the total points of the game to be under 45, and the Lions to win. If you do this type of SGP, every selection will need to hit in order for you to win the entire parlay.

There are a ton of different prop options you can add onto your parlay as well, which makes this type of bet one of the most exciting in sports.

Where to Bet Anytime Touchdown Scorer Odds

You can bet on anytime touchdown scorer odds at most major sportsbooks across the nation. Here are some of our personal favorites:

Common Mistakes to Avoid

One of the biggest mistakes novice bettors make when it comes to anytime TD scorers is betting on big names. A star running back like Gibbs will likely have shorter odds on an anytime TD bet, but that doesn’t always mean they’re going to be the best-equipped player to score in a particular matchup.

There’s a lot of value to be found in lesser-known players who are known to get touchdowns in particular situations. That’s why it’s important to research rosters to see what players are seeing higher red-zone usage, goal-line opportunities, and snap counts as well. You might be surprised to find it isn’t always the big name players in specific situations.
