What does the term "alternative corners" mean in the world of football betting? What is the meaning of the term "alternative corners"?

Sportsbooks will set a line on the total number of corner kicks that they think will take place between two teams in a single game.

This is the "corners" line.

The "alternative corners" line allows you to bet on any number of different "corners" lines.

For instance - let's say that you think that there will only be a small handful of corner kicks in a game, though the sportsbook has set their "corners" line at 11.

An "alternative corners" line might be set at 4 corner kicks and look like this:

4 Corners

Over 4 Corners, 1.012
Exactly 4 Corners, 29.00
Under 4 Corners, 41.00

Let's go the opposite way and say that you think that there will be a great deal of corner kicks in a certain game. You might pick the 19 "Alternative Corners" line, which might look like this:

19 Corners

Over 19 Corners, 29.00
Exactly 19 Corners, 34.00
Under 19 Corners, 1.015
