How to Use This Calculator
Set lambda to your expected total corners and the line (e.g. 9.5). The tool reports P(over) using the same Poisson engine as the general Poisson calculator—tailored in copy for corner markets.
Estimating λ
Use team pace, opponent press, and league averages—corners cluster more than goals in some fixtures.
Line format
Half-point lines avoid push complexity in this model.
Compare to odds
Translate P(over) to fair decimal 1/P for a quick line vs model check.
Live corners
Update λ as the match evolves—static pregame λ may drift.
Poisson for Corners
Corners are not perfectly Poisson—late chase modes add dependence—but the model is a standard first pass for totals and overs.
Examples
Example 1 — λ = 10.5, line 10.5
Compare P(over) to implied odds on a 10.5 corner line—tune λ until it matches your intuition.
Example 2 — Low-event match
λ = 8, line 9.5 → under pressure in the model—verify against defensive styles.
Example 3 — Cross-check
Run the same numbers on the generic Poisson page—outputs should match.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—only labels and examples differ.
Outputs probability—convert to odds yourself.
Map your line to the half-point input closest to the market.
Split λ into offensive/defensive components in your own sheet, then enter the total λ here.
Game state and tactical shifts create clustering—use the model as a baseline, not scripture.
