Direct answer
Over 9.5 corners is a bet on the total corners of the game. It wins when the match ends with 10 or more corners combining home and away.
If the game ends with 9 corners or fewer, the bet loses. The 9.5 line exists to eliminate a push in the bet, since there is no half corner.

Formula or logic
The comparison between estimated probability and implied chance shows the difference between model and market. A positive difference may indicate estimated value.
Over 9.5 corners hits if: home corners + away corners >= 10 Implied probability = 1 / decimal odds EV = (estimated probability x odds) - 1Example in football
Imagine a game where the home team attacks a lot down the flanks, the away team concedes many corners on the road, and the league's corner average is high.
If the best odds for Over 9.5 corners are 1.90, the implied probability is 52.6%. If the model estimates 55%, the EV is close to +4.5%. This may indicate value, as long as the game factors support the reading.

Common mistakes

Ignore the odds
Even if the match looks like it will have plenty of corners, the bet only becomes interesting if the price makes sense.
