Corridor Betting Strategy

Increasing the probability and size of winnings while minimizing potential losses is the goal of both novice and experienced bettors. To achieve this, players can use a reliable betting approach — the “Corridor” strategy.

The Essence and Features of the “Corridor” Strategy in Betting

The essence of the strategy is to place two bets simultaneously in such a way that a special “corridor” is created. If the match result falls within this corridor, the player’s winnings significantly increase (often doubling). If only one of the two bets wins, the bettor still compensates for the losses from the losing wager.

In the “Corridor” strategy, the player places two bets with roughly equal odds (ideally above 2.0) on the same sporting event. The outcomes chosen should be opposite to each other. For example:

• “Team 1” wins by more than one goal;
• “Team 2” loses by no more than two goals.

For the “Corridor” strategy, the best betting types are “totals” and “handicaps.” This approach works best in basketball or hockey, though football can also be used for high-scoring teams.

Pros and Cons of the “Corridor” Strategy

Example of Using the Strategy

“Manchester City” – “Leicester”

After analysis, the player identified Manchester City as the favorite and noted that both teams often score. He placed two bets: on Manchester City to win (odds 1.31) and on Over 2.5 goals (odds 1.42).
The match ended 2–5 in favor of Leicester.

Result: Only the second bet won, so the corridor partially worked, leaving the player with a small loss (since both odds were under 2.0).

“Fulham” – “Aston Villa”

The player placed two bets: Aston Villa to win (odds 2.32) and Over 2.5 goals (odds 1.86). The match ended 0–3.

Result: Both bets won — the corridor worked perfectly.

Financial Results for Both Matches

As shown in the table, the bettor successfully used the strategy and earned a net profit of $1.60.
