Corners & Cards Betting Explained
Corners and cards are popular football side markets that do not depend on goals. This guide explains how they work with hypothetical examples only.
- You bet on the number of corners, usually as an over/under total or a handicap between the two teams.
- Booking points assign set values to cards — for example a yellow and a red are worth fixed points — and you bet over/under the total or which team gets more.
- They usually settle on regulation time, and may exclude incidents after the final whistle.
Corner totals
Corner totals are an over/under on the number of corners in the match.
Corner handicap
A corner handicap applies a handicap to one team's corner count, useful when one side is expected to dominate possession and attack far more than the other.
Cards & booking points
Cards markets cover total bookings, often using 'booking points' where a yellow and a red are worth set point values. You can bet over/under booking points or which team receives more cards.
Settlement rules
These markets usually settle on regulation time and may exclude cards shown after the final whistle or to non-players. Corner and card rules vary by operator, so read the terms before betting.
