Understanding the Corner Market in Sports Betting
The Corner Market is a popular betting option in football (soccer) that allows punters to wager on the number and outcome of corner kicks during a match. Unlike traditional match result bets, corner markets focus on the action along the sidelines, offering unique strategies for bettors who follow team styles, tactics, and match dynamics.
“First, choose the game you want to bet on, then select the ‘Market Corner’ option.”
Shown Below
Over/Under Corners
In the Over/Under Corners market, you are betting on whether the total number of corners in a match will be over or under a given number. The numbers are usually expressed with a decimal (like 8.5, 9.5, etc.) to avoid a push/draw.
How It Works
Decimal numbers (e.g., 8.5) mean there is no tie; the result must be either over or under
Examples
8.5 Corners
Over 8.5 → win if total corners ≥ 9
Under 8.5 → win if total corners ≤ 8
9.5 Corners
Over 9.5 → win if total corners ≥ 10
Under 9.5 → win if total corners ≤ 9
10.5 Corners
Over 10.5 → win if total corners ≥ 11
Under 10.5 → win if total corners ≤ 10
11.5 Corners
Over 11.5 → win if total corners ≥ 12
Under 11.5 → win if total corners ≤ 11
12.5 Corners
Over 12.5 → win if total corners ≥ 13
Under 12.5 → win if total corners ≤ 12
