Just 3 corners in the game, all in the first half, so Multi-Corners made up at 0. A full scoop for sellers, & a max loss for buyers.
I noticed in the Winter World Cup there was a distinct lack of corners, is this a new tactic/formation by clubs? There must be something in it as a lot of bookies bet boosts are including + corners which often are the bet buster.
I read somewhere that teams are far less likely than they were to score from corners, as opposed to free kicks. So, logically, teams will be less likely to seek to get corners.

Definitely a trend whereby (top) teams used to "play for corners" & now seem to studiously do the opposite. If they are near the goal-line on the right, instead of attempting to cross & get a deflection off a defenders body, they come "inside" onto their left foot. (Watch Saka, for example). Same thing, in reverse, on opposite side of the pitch. (See Martinelli).

For some strange reason, tend not to watch those 2. But I agree with the point. Watch Emerson Royal mishit his cross and balloon it into the stands, for example

I honestly don't know, but I just sense the bookies lines are too high.
Bear in mind, in FO betting, the market is 1 way, just "over", whereas in Spreads it's a 2 way market & the Firms profit is the spread.

Ain'tIs BadAll my later bets lost but who cares when the table looks like this.

Just a bit, long time since we've seen such a weird set of PL results.
The bookies must have loved it.
