Key Concept Of Handicap Betting
Handicaps are one of the popular types of football bets where the bookies are giving the underdogs some virtual advantage (+) or the favorite a deficit (-) to even out the playing field. Then, for betting purposes, they adjusted the final score with the handicap to determine the bet’s outcome – here’s how it works:
| Handicap | To Win The Bet |
| -1 | Win by 2 or more goals. So if you bet on the favorites at -1 AH and they win at score of 2-0, you win; but if they only wins at 1-0 score, then it’s a lose bet for you. |
| -2 | Win by 3 or more goals. If you support Team A (-2) and they win at score of 3-0, you win; but if they only win at 2-0, then it’ll be a losing bet for you. |
| -3 | Win by 4 or more goals. If you stake on Team A at AH line of -3 and they win at score of 4-0, you win; but if ever Team A only wins at score of 3-0, then you’ll lose. |
| +1 | Lose by 1 goal or win/draw. When you support Team B at +1 AH line and they loses at score of 1-0, your bet is not entirely lose because after adjusting the score for Team B will be 1-1, you’ll win. |
| +2 | Lose by 2 goals or less. If you stake at Team B at +2 AH and they lose at score of 2-0, then, you’ll win because the adjusted score for the match will be Team B 2-2. |
| +3 | Lose by 3 goals or less. If you bet on Team B and they lose at score of 3-0, you’ll still win because the end score will be 3-3 after adjusting the score. |
