So far, the Cruzeiro forward has 17 goals, surpassing 2024’s top marks, when Yuri Alberto (Corinthians) and Alerrandro (Vitória) finished as joint top scorers with 15 each. Thanks to his consistent performances and clear lead in the scoring chart, Betfair opted for an early payout to all bettors who backed Kaio Jorge to end the campaign as the outright top scorer.
Kaio Jorge’s 2025 numbers are impressive: he has started 90% of Cruzeiro’s matches and has been involved in 53% of the club’s goals this season, totaling 17 goals and five assists in the Brazilian league.
Early payouts are a familiar Betfair practice—often used when markets are virtually decided, though at times controversial. The company has done this in previous editions of the Brasileirão, paying out early on title bets for clubs such as Atlético-MG and Palmeiras, as well as bets related to the Brazil national team. In the 2025 Brasileirão, Betfair has already issued an early payout on bets backing Santos to be relegated to Série B in 2026.
Even after confirming the early payout, Betfair’s markets remain open for other 2025 Brasileirão outcomes, including title, relegation, and Libertadores qualification bets.
