How substitute betting works
You back a forward to score. If he is substituted before scoring and the direct replacement scores later, a qualifying PowerSub/Super Sub-style market can still settle as a winner.
Some operators include assist or score-or-assist markets. Data provider rules matter here, so check whether assists are settled by Opta or another official feed.
Shot markets are often where substitution protection has practical value. If the starter leaves early, the replacement may continue the same shot-count route.
Several Super Sub-style terms include bookings, fouls committed or fouls won. The exact list differs by operator, competition and market icon.

It covers selected player markets such as goalscorer, shots, shots on target, assists and cards where Betfred marks the market with Sub Switch. Only use it when the bet slip confirms the label.
Sub Switch solves the same problem as Super Sub, Power Sub, Impact Sub and Safe Sub: what happens when your picked player comes off before the bet settles.
The difference is branding and exact rules. Betfred is UK-only in our data, so compare William Hill Impact Sub, Paddy Power Super Sub and Betfair Safe Sub if you want alternatives.
Betfred says Sub Switch is active throughout the World Cup on pre-match singles and bet-builder legs that use qualifying player picks. Price boosts and turbo boosts can also qualify where the bet slip shows Sub Switch.
Extra-time counts on eligible Sub Switch markets, which matters for knockout games such as France vs Morocco when late goals or cards can decide player props.
Before staking, open the market on Betfred, confirm the Sub Switch tag, read the promotion terms and check minimum deposit on your account.
