Definition of Corners Race

What does the term "corners race" mean in the world of football betting? What is meant by the term "corners race"?

With the "corners race" line, you are betting on which team will reach a certain number of corner kicks first.

For instance, let's say that Liverpool is playing Cardiff, and you want to bet on Liverpool reaching three corner kicks first.

Liverpool is the better team, so the oddsmakers believe that there is a much higher chance of Liverpool reaching three corner kicks first.

The "Race to 3 Corners" line might look like this:

Liverpool, 1.12
Cardiff, 6.00
Neither, 34.00

As you can see, there is a "neither" line as well.

In this case, it is very unlikely that neither club will reach three corner kicks in the game, though the "neither" line will have better and better odds as the number goes up.

For instance, let's look at the "Race to 9 Corners" line from the same game:

Liverpool, 2.62
Cardiff, 101.00
Neither, 1.44

As you can see, the "Neither" line is the favourite in this case.

As you can probably guess, the team that is favoured to win the game will almost always have the best "corners race" odds.
