The gambling strategy offers bettors the chance to double their winnings on betting on various outcomes. It was first used in basketball matches, but nowadays it is used in betting on many other sporting events where you can bet on a handicap. The Corridor strategy is easy to learn and does not require a large initial bankroll.
The strategy is based on finding “corridors” in the odds of the BC. Today, the betting companies often put out wide lines, and at different intervals, the odds can vary greatly. The bettor needs to find an event with such a “corridor”, study it and choose a suitable “corridor”. It is necessary to open accounts in two offices: in the first one the user bets on one outcome, in the second one – on the other.
Corridor Strategy for Totals
When playing totals using this strategy, the bettor should continuously monitor quotes from different betting companies. For example, in a match between teams 1 and 2 after the first half of the game the score reached 51:43. The first BK gives a total for the outcome of 170, the second one gives a total of 179. The odds are almost the same.
Example: If a bettor bets on total higher than 170 in the first betting provider and on total less than 170 in the second one, he has a chance that the final match total will be in the 170-179 corridor and both bets will win. If one bet turns out to be a loser, the bettor, thanks to the second winning bet, will get back a part of the bankroll and reduce the loss.
Sometimes such a corridor appears in the same BC, the main thing is to keep an eye on the odds online.
Corridor strategy for a head start
It is often possible to buy extra points on a certain team’s head start in a betting shop, resulting in bettors having a better chance of finding a ‘corridor’.
For example: in a match between team 1 and team 2 a betting odds of 1.7 would be 1.7 for a victory of the first team and 1.5 for a victory of the second team and a handicap of +4.5 would be 1.61. A corridor is 3 points, but even in this case there is a chance for a successful outcome if BC offers to add points to a handicap, odds 1.5 will increase the corridor and the net profit.
Corridor strategy in football betting
If team 1 has a better chance to win and the odds of its success in different BK are 1.4-1.5, and team 2 is stable, though slightly worse than its opponents, the odds for a handicap (+1.5) will be 1.6-1.7, the corridor is one goal. In case of minimal victory of favorites bettor gets profit from all bets, and in case of any other outcome bets are mutually insured, which protects the game bank from complete loss.
So, the “Corridors” strategy allows you to protect your bank from losses, besides, you do not need to have a large initial bankroll to use it. The disadvantage is a small gain, as the game is played at small odds. Also, the bettor will need to follow the lines of different bookmakers at different times to find the optimum corridor.
