How to set up odds in CornerPro bots?
Do you want to receive alerts only when the odds for a market are within the values you are looking for?
At CornerPro, you can customise your bots with odds criteria, choosing the market, the line and the range of values you want.
In this tutorial, we explain how to set up these conditions so your alerts are better suited to your strategy.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO SET UP THE ODDS?
Odds represent the price assigned to a given sporting event.
When you create a strategy with bots, you can set conditions related to these prices to avoid receiving alerts outside the parameters you have defined.
For example, if you are looking for opportunities with odds between 1.70 and 2.20, you can set up a criterion that only considers values within that range.
This way, the odds become one of the conditions the bot uses when assessing matches.
HOW TO ADD AN ODDS CRITERION?
At CornerPro, go to the bot creation or editing area.
To add an odds-related criterion:
- Open the Bots section and select the option to create or edit a bot.
- In the statistics selection, choose the Other tab.
- Look for the type of odds you want to use.
- Select the criterion that matches the market and the moment you want to analyse.
Among the available options, you will find:
- Goal Live Line Odd
- Goal Pre-Live Line Odd
- Corner Live Line Odd
- Corner Pre-Live Line Odd
The choice depends on the market you want to follow and on whether you want to use the pre-match price or the price during the match.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRE-MATCH AND LIVE ODDS?
Pre-match odds are the prices available before kick-off.
Live odds, on the other hand, change during the match, depending on events such as goals, time elapsed and shifts in market expectations.
For example:
- Goal Pre-Live Line Odd: lets you create a criterion based on the pre-match price of a goal line.
- Goal Live Line Odd: lets you use the price recorded during the match for the selected line.
This distinction matters because pre-match odds can be quite different from the odds available in real time.
HOW TO SET THE LINE AND VALUES?
Once you have selected the criterion, you can customise the parameters shown in the settings.
In the carousel example, a goal line is used with the following values:
- Period: FT (full match).
- Market: Over.
- Line: 2.5 goals.
- Odds range: 1.70 to 2.20.
This setup creates a criterion for the Over 2.5 FT market, considering only odds within the defined range.
If the odds being analysed are below 1.70 or above 2.20, the condition will not be met.
For example, odds of 1.55 would be outside the range, while odds of 1.90 would be within the configured limits.
WHAT DO THE FT, HT, OVER AND UNDER OPTIONS MEAN?
During setup, you may come across different options:
FT (Full Time)
Refers to the market for the full match.
HT (Half Time)
Refers to the market for the first half.
Over
Represents a market where you are looking for a number of goals or corners above the selected line.
Under
Represents a market where you are looking for a number of goals or corners below the selected line.
For example, Over 2.5 FT means at least three goals in the match, while Under 2.5 FT means a maximum of two goals.
HOW DO ALERTS WORK WITH THIS CRITERION?
Once you have set the odds range, the bot uses that parameter when checking the conditions of the strategy.
Imagine you have set minimum odds of 1.70 and maximum odds of 2.20.
If the odds considered by the bot are outside that range, the criterion will not be met.
On the other hand, if they are within the range, that condition will be satisfied.
It is important to remember that meeting the odds criterion does not, on its own, guarantee that an alert will be sent.
If the bot has other conditions configured, those conditions will also have to be met.
In addition, live odds can change quickly, so the price available when you check the alert may already be different.
HOW TO COMBINE ODDS WITH OTHER CRITERIA?
Setting up odds becomes especially useful when combined with other CornerPro indicators.
For example, you can create a strategy that considers:
- Odds within a certain range;
- A minimum level of attacking pressure;
- A specific number of dangerous attacks;
- A minimum xG value;
- A specific minute window.
This way, the bot can check both the statistical context of the match and the market price.
The goal is to build a strategy with consistent criteria, rather than looking only at the odds value.
WHERE TO SET UP THESE CRITERIA?
At CornerPro, go to the Bots area, create or edit a strategy and open the Other tab in the statistics selection.
Choose the odds criterion you want, set the line and configure the range of values.
Then add the criterion to your strategy and review the bot's other conditions.
Remember: setting up the odds correctly helps you filter alerts according to your strategy's parameters, but it does not guarantee value or the success of a bet.
You set up a bot with the Goal Pre-Live Line Odd criterion (Over 2.5 FT, odds from 1.70 to 2.20) plus other statistical criteria. The match odds are 1.90. What happens?
