Corner bet is considered one of the side bets in football betting. However, this type of bet still receives the attention and participation of many players today. So what is a corner bet? How to play corner bet? Let's find out the details in the following article.
WHAT IS A CORNER BET?
A corner bet is also known as "Corners". This is a bet that involves the number of corner kicks in a match. Based on this result, the bookmakers will determine the outcome of the bet.
Therefore, when participating in a corner bet, players do not need to be concerned about the result of the match. What you need to focus on is how many corner kicks will occur in that match.
Compared to other types of bets such as Asian handicap, European handicap, or over/under, corner bet is relatively easy to understand. That's why many players choose to participate in this type of betting. However, this type of bet requires players to have judgment and experience. You need to understand the playing style of each team and analyze the playing strategies of both teams. Finally, you will make a conclusion on how many corner kicks will happen in that match.
COMMON TYPES OF CORNER BETS
Corner Over/Under
For this type of bet, the bookmakers will provide a number representing the total number of corner kicks in a match. At this point, players only need to choose over or under. "Over" means predicting that the total number of corner kicks will be higher than the bookmakers' number. Conversely, "Under" means predicting that the total number of corner kicks will be lower than the number set by the bookmakers.
Usually, corner over/under bets appear in the second half or the entire match. You need to pay attention to the timing when the bet starts to place your wager accurately.
Corner Handicap
Corner handicap betting is only applicable to Asian handicap bets. In this case, the two teams will be divided into the upper and lower sides. The task of the player is to choose the team with a handicap or the team receiving the handicap. Then, the bookmakers will determine the win or loss based on the number of corner kicks. However, this number must be calculated for each team in the match.
Even/Odd Corner
Even/Odd corner bets are easier than corner over/under. Players only need to predict how many corner kicks the two teams will have. Then, the player chooses whether the total number of corner kicks by both teams is even or odd.
HOW TO WIN IN CORNER BETTING
Use observation tactics
If you pay attention and observe, you will notice which teams often use wing play. Surely, those teams will have more corner kicks. If the teams play more centrally, they will likely have fewer corner kicks. If a match has a corner kick before the 6th minute, it is likely to have more corner kicks throughout the game. Conversely, if there have been no corner kicks by the 10th minute, the chances of having corner kicks in that match are rare.
Rely on the strength of the teams
Usually, matches where a strong team faces a weak team will have more corner kicks. Conversely, matches with evenly matched teams will have fewer corner kicks. Keep this in mind!
Now that you have a better understanding of what a corner bet is and how to play it effectively. Good luck with your betting!
