X-Corners football spread betting

A recent game between Aston Villa and Hull produced 20 corners recently. That would have been a great over corners bet. A bookmaker would normally offer you a prediction of over 11 corners. Simple. More than 11 corners and you win. Less you lose.

What about this example? The game produced a whopping 20 corners. That’s 9 corners over the 11 corner prediction a normal bookmaker would have offered.

You would have got nothing for those other 9 corners. The extra profit the other corners could have bagged for you would have been great. Here’s a way to make the corners pay!

Spread betting companies offer multi corner and x-corner bets. The Aston Villa vs Hull example would have been great for a x-corners bet. This post will explain how multi corner and x-corner spread bets work.

How does sports spread betting work?

Sports spread betting is not just a case of win or lose. Not like with a traditional betting bookmaker.

The rewards of spread betting can outweight those of normal fixed odds betting as we discussed in another post, about how a football goals spread bet can increase the reward by more than 3 times. This post explains the workings of a sports spread bet in more detail, something that wasn’t done in the previous post. Using football as an example first lets look at how sports spread betting differs from traditional betting.

Fixed odds betting. The price of the bet is set at the outset by the bookmaker. Winnings and loses are fixed. Win or lose, you know what’s what.

Spread betting. Winnings or loses depend on the difference between the end result and the sports spread betting company’s marker or prediction.

Most of the bets available with online betting bookmakers are mirrored by the sports spread betting company. Take the totals market for example; total goals, total corners, or total booking points etc. The words used are slightly different but essentially they are the same.

When an online betting bookmaker prices football totals markets they provide a marker. Betting enthusiasts place bets for more or less than the marker. The markers will resemble these; ’2.5′ goals, ’11′ corners, and ’37 – 40′ booking points.

Sports spread betting companies do the same thing. However, the market is a spread. Each goal is worth 10 points, so a spread might look like this, ’2.3 – 2.5′ goals. A corners spread might look like this, ’10 – 11′ corners, and a booking points spread like this, ’37 – 40′ booking points.

Participants get to choose between betting ‘over’ or ‘under’ the marker with fixed odds betting. With sports spread betting the bettor gets to ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ the spread.

A goal bet with over three times the profit

Goal betting is a great way to increase the excitement of a football game. English football, and especially premiership football, over the years has become more and more of an attacking game.

In this post LetsCompareBets will compare a goal fixed odds bet to a goal spread bet. Spread betting is a great way to boost returns over traditional fixed odds betting.

The good thing about football goal betting is that goals produced by football matches can be predicted. First lets look at what makes up a football bet.

The event. A football game. Any league is good, in the UK or Europe.

The bookmaker makes a prediction. Normally Under or Over 2.5 goals. In other words 2 and below goals, or, 3 or more goals.

The sports betting fan (that’s right you and me). People involved in the betting market.

As we have mentioned the bookmaker places a cut off and prices a bet with fixed odds. Like this,

10/11 – Under 2.5 goals
10/11 – Over 2.5 goals

Sports spread betting companies work in the same way; they invite the bettor to place an Under or Over bet. In stead of pricing the bet with fixed odds it is priced using a spread.
