Corner Markets

Betting markets based on the number of corners awarded during a football match. Available markets include Over/Under corners, Asian corner handicaps, first half corners, and individual team corner totals. Corner markets are popular with data-driven bettors because corner stats can be modeled statistically.

Winning Margin
A bet on the exact margin of victory or whether the match will end in a draw. Options are typically grouped (e.g., Home by 1, Home by 2, Home by 3+, Draw, Away by 1, etc.). Winning margin markets offer a middle ground between match result and correct score in terms of odds and difficulty.
Half-Time/Full-Time (HT/FT)
A bet on the result at both half-time and full-time. There are nine possible outcomes (e.g., Home/Home, Draw/Away, Away/Home). This market is particularly popular for identifying value in matches where a comeback is expected. Higher odds are available for less likely combinations like Draw/Away.
Correct Score (CS)
A bet on the exact final score of a match (e.g., 2-1). Correct score markets offer high odds because of the many possible outcomes, but they are extremely difficult to predict consistently. Some bettors use Poisson distribution models to identify value in correct score markets.
1X2
The most common football (soccer) betting market where 1 = Home Win, X = Draw, 2 = Away Win. This is the standard three-way match result market. The 1X2 designation comes from traditional European betting coupons and is the basis for many other football betting markets.
Player Props
Betting markets focused on individual player performances within a game. Examples include total points scored, assists, rebounds, passing yards, shots on target, or tackles. Player props have become increasingly popular due to the growth of daily fantasy sports and same-game parlays.
Asian Lines
A collective term for betting markets that use the Asian Handicap system, including match handicaps and total goals (goal lines). Asian lines use quarter-goal increments (0.25, 0.75, 1.25, etc.) to split stakes between two adjacent lines. They generally offer lower margins than equivalent European markets and are preferred by sharp bettors.
