Bet9ja Betting Explainer: Combo+ Markets & Betting on 1X2 with Corners & Cards

If you already know your way around the 1X2 market, Combo+ is a smart next step. It lets you combine a match result with a corners outcome, a cards outcome, or both – which can push your odds up fast. The trade-off is simple: you need to do your homework. This is a market where form is not enough on its own. Corners and cards trends matter.

You can find these options in the match tab under Combo+, with three different markets available.

What does Combo+ actually mean?

Combo+ is a combination bet. Instead of only predicting the full-time result, you also predict which team will win the corners count and or which team will receive more cards.

The markets use the familiar 1X2 format:

For the match result:
1 = Home win
X = Draw
2 = Away win

For corners or cards:
1 = Home most corners or cards
X = Equal corners or cards
2 = Away most corners or cards

So a selection like 1+2 means “Home team to win the match + Away team to win the corners or cards count” (depending on the market you are viewing).

Market 1: 1X2 + 1X2 Corner

This one asks you to predict the full-time result and the corners winner in the same bet.

Using Marseille vs Liverpool tonight as an example, you can see how quickly the odds can jump when you add corners into the mix.

If you fancy Marseille to win, you could take:

– Marseille to win + Marseille most corners at 8.00
– Marseille to win + Liverpool most corners at 6.80
– Marseille to win + Equal corners at 27.00

If you fancy Liverpool to win, you could take:

– Liverpool to win + Liverpool most corners at 3.70
– Liverpool to win + Marseille most corners at 4.40

This is where research really pays. A team can lose the game but still dominate corners, especially if they are chasing late, sending crosses into the box, or forcing blocks and clearances.

Market 2: 1X2 + 1X2 Cards

Same idea, but instead of corners you are combining the match result with which team gets more cards.

If you fancy Marseille to win, you could take:

– Marseille to win + Marseille most cards at 7.10
– Marseille to win + Liverpool most cards at 9.80
– Marseille to win + Equal cards at 17.00

If you fancy Liverpool to win, you could take:

– Liverpool to win + Liverpool most cards at 5.30
– Liverpool to win + Marseille most cards at 3.90

Cards markets are all about matchup and game state. Who is likely to defend for long spells, who is likely to foul to stop transitions, and which teams regularly pick up yellows when they are under pressure.

Market 3: 1X2 Corner + 1X2 Cards

This one removes the match result completely. You are predicting the corners winner and the cards winner together, using the same 1X2 format.

It is a great option if you have a strong read on how the game will be played, even if you are unsure about the final scoreline. For example, you might expect one team to rack up corners through constant pressure, while the other collects cards through last-ditch defending and tactical fouls.

Why Combo+ rewards research

Combo+ is not a “guess and go” market. The best way to approach it is to treat corners and cards like mini-matchups inside the bigger game.

Corners research should focus on:
How many corners each team wins and concedes per match, and whether that changes home vs away. Also look at crossing volume, shot volume, and whether the team plays with natural wingers.

Cards research should focus on:
How many cards each team averages, how aggressive their press is, how often they foul in transition, and whether a match is likely to be fiery. Derby energy, high stakes, and style clashes usually bring more cards into play. Referee trends can matter too.

Quick tip on how to use Combo+ for value

If you are confident on a result, Combo+ can boost your return without needing a correct scoreline. If you are not confident on the result, the corners plus cards option can still give you a strong angle to attack the match based on patterns and style.
