Total Corners in Football Betting: A Comprehensive Guide

A total corners bet is a type of wager where you predict the combined number of corner kicks in a match.

You may bet that a game will have 3, 5 or more than 8 corners, or only one team will be awarded 5 or more corners.

Note: This bet can be applied not only to the entire match but also to individual halves of the game.

How Does Total Corners Betting Work?

When you bet on total corners, you can win, lose, or get your money back. This happens when the total corners land exactly on the number you bet on. For example, if you bet on over 9 corners and there are exactly 9 corners in the game, it’s a push, and you get your stake back.

Did you know?

In the 2023/24 season, the Premier League saw an average of 10.83 corners per game across 371 matches. Manchester United topped the chart with 13 corners per match, while Brighton had the fewest at 9.5. It’s a stat that’s been quite consistent over the years!

Here’s how it works in practice

Over 9 corners: If you wager on over 9 corners, you win if the match ends with 10 or more corners. If exactly 9 corners occur, it’s a push (stake returned). Less than 9, and you lose.

Under 9 corners: Conversely, betting on under 9 corners means you win if the match concludes with 8 or fewer corners. Exactly 9 again results in a push, while 10 or more means a loss.

Best Markets to Bet on Total Corners

Full Match Total Corners: This is the most straightforward market, where you predict the total number of corners accumulated by both teams during the entire match.

Half Time Total Corners: This market allows you to bet on the total number of corners in either the first or second half.

Individual Team Total Corners: Choose how many corners one specific team will earn in the match.

Corner Race – First to X Corners: Decide which team will reach a certain number of corners first. For example, during a clash between Switzerland and Italy, you bet on Italy to be the first to 3 corners.
