Cards and Corners

[captaincool]

I'm going to be picking out games across Europe and placing bets on both the cards and corners markets, usually in doubles. I'll largely be focusing on English and Spanish matches, for the most part the live sky ones. This will be done using real money at Bet365. Bet 1: Osasuna v Barcelona Over 5.5 cards & Over 10 corners (asian) - £10 @3.2

Re: Cards and Corners Bet 2 - Real Madrid v Valencia Over 10.5 corners & over 6 cards (asian) - £10 @3.23

Re: Cards and Corners The Barca game never managed to cross either the corner or cards line, but the Real Madrid one was done after about an hour. Total Staked: £20 Total Returned: £32.85 :ok edit - just realised that doesn't tally up with the odds quoted, not sure what I did, but the returns are right, screenshots can be provided if needed.

Re: Cards and Corners Bet 3 - West Brom v Newcastle Over 10.5 corners & over 4 cards (asian) - £10 @3.95 Confident in the cards here, not entirely sure about the corners :unsure

Re: Cards and Corners good luck with the hunt.

Re: Cards and Corners I think you'll be OK with the corners. Caroll should force a few with his strength in the air and West Brom play some decent attacking football with some width.

Re: Cards and Corners Two corners in the first eveven minutes. Good start.

Re: Cards and Corners 28 minutes gone, four corners, 1 booking

Re: Cards and Corners The thing about corners is they are influenced by the way the game is going. Usually when a team is losing, they attack and are more likely to get corners - that's why Bet 365 change their in-play team corner odds when a team goes behind. It's hard to predict the number of corners in a game, although some teams who play with a lot of pace and width do tend to get a lot of corners.

Re: Cards and Corners The positive thing for corner backers in this game though is that both teams are liable to force corners, whoever is in front. West Brom attack with pace down both flanks and Newcastle force corners by lobbing the ball in for the big daft basstard in the middle to head against defenders.

Re: Cards and Corners Normally last ten mins bring a few corners,bookings etc when the game is like this one,, check out my GH with the Fat Lady which is all about the last ten....

Re: Cards and Corners With 9 corners in 50 minutes, I don't think we'll have to wait for the last ten minutes for those. The bookings is looking a bit dodgy though.

Re: Cards and Corners

With 9 corners in 50 minutes' date=' I don't think we'll have to wait for the last ten minutes for those. The bookings is looking a bit dodgy though.[/quote'] Final Score: West Brom 3 Newcastle 1 Corners: 7-3 Cards: 0-5 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9236015.stm I saw a little bit of the second half. West Brom looked the better of two attacking teams, and deserved the win from what I saw. After West Brom took the lead, they didn't 'sit back' but continued to attack, winning more corners in the process. From what I saw, Newcastle struggled to get the ball in the second half ... and if you haven't got the ball you won't get many corners ;) I do bet on corners myself - so I'm interested in this strategy :ok

Re: Cards and Corners Gutted with that, it looked great after about an hour, but my instincts were right. Bet 4 - Sunderland v West Ham Under 11.5 corners & Over 4 cards (asian) £10 @3.45 Expect Sunderland to rout West Ham, so hopefully some Hammers will lose the plot. Surprised to see the corners line so high, so have to go under.

Re: Cards and Corners Sunderland game made the bookings, but finished on 12 corners, that's twice in a row I've been on the end of 0.5 corner losses :puke Bet 5: Liverpool v Aston Villa Over 12 corners & over 3.5 cards £10 @3.46
