Bookies determine the odds of each outcome independently by considering various factors. For instance, Manchester City have won multiple English cups, and is an obvious favorite in the match. This aspect, coupled with the fact that they have home advantage playing at Etihad Stadium, makes the possibility higher for Manchester City to score the first goal. That's why the odds for Sunderland to score the first goal are quite high (7/1), though the possibilities of such an outcome are low.

This does not mean that you cannot earn significant winnings from Timecast betting. Football has many surprises, and Manchester City may choose to leave out strong players at the start of the match (rest them), and Sunderland may just manage to sneak in a goal.
