Corner Betting
There are some punters that aren't aware they can make money from the number of corners taken in a given game. We believe every punter should have as many ammunition as possible in order to win against the bookies because there are very few betting markets where the bookies don't have the upper hand in comparison to the punters. Statistics collected by bookies decide the odds offered for individual games and betting markets but there are certain markets a punter can predict to very good degrees on a consistent basis.
Why bet on corners ?
Moving from the congested betting markets like the straight win, and over/under goals market might be just what you need. There are advantages to betting on a part of the game that has little to no impact on the match but is still very much a part of it. With enough practice and research, a punter can spot inconsistencies in the odds given by bookies.
Types of corner betting
Over/Under corner betting
In Over/Under corners betting, the expected combined number of corners is set by bookies and punters can decide whether the number of corners in the match will be over or under the set number.
Money line corners betting
The Money Line corners betting is placing a bet on which of the two teams in a match will win the most corners within the 90 minutes of a game.
Handicap corner betting
Handicap betting in soccer refers to the bookies giving a side an advantage (indicated by a + figure) and the other a disadvantage (indicated by a - figure) to counter the subjective gathering and interpretation of the research data and information available to them.
Example: Getafe +2 corners: 1.67 / Atletico Madrid -2 corners: 2.15
- Atletico Madrid would have to win three or more corners than Getafe for it to win.
- Getafe needs to win more corners, the same, or at most have one fewer corners than Atletico Madrid in order to win.
Corners betting strategies
Home Advantage
Home advantage plays an important role in the outcome of a match and that includes the number of corners a team gets in a match. Teams play better when they are at home and put pressure on their opponent which causes deflation or save by goalkeepers and defenders caused by crosses and shots in and around their 18-yard box. These are things punters should take note of when betting on matches.
Team Tactics
Team tactics also come into play because of how a team plays when they are home or when they are the away team. Some teams utilize wingers to cross while others prefer going through the middle to score goals so these should also be noted.
