BETTING ADVICE - Corner betting is offered by most bookmakers for most football matches. Basically, you are betting on how many corners there will be in the football match. The most common form of corner betting is the 'Total Corners' market which follows the under/over/exactly format. This might be for example under 11 corners/over 11 corners/exactly 11 corners, with betting odds accordingly availble for each option. Other forms of corner betting include:First/last corner (i.e. which team will take the first or last corner)
First half total corners (i.e. how many corners there will be in the first half)
Corner handicap betting (i.e. which team will win the most corners, after taking into account a plus or minus handicap)
FACTORS TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN CORNER BETTING:
Size of pitch - Games played on small pitches tend to have the most corners. Do your research before you have a bet!
Offensive prowess of the teams playing - It stands to reason that a match with two attacking-minded sides is more likely to be a game with lots of corners than a match with two defensively-minded sides.
Attacking formations - Teams that rely on firing crosses into the penalty area tend to win more corners than teams that rely more on playing the ball down the middle of the pitch.
What is at stake? - Think of the number of 'big' games that have ended up being damp squibs because both teams have been too scared to attack in case the the other side gets the chance to score a breakaway goal. The more that is at stake in a game, the lower the corner count tends to be.
