🤔 What is a handicap?

Handicap (handicap) is a virtual advantage (+) or disadvantage (-) that a bookmaker gives to one of the teams or players.

After the match ends, the value of the assigned handicap is added to (+) or deducted from (-) the final result of the selected team or player.

💡 Using the match Lokomotiv Moscow - Rubin Kazan:

Suppose we bet on Lokomotiv with a -1.5 handicap. This means the team must win by at least two goals for the bet to win.

If you bet on Lokomotiv with a +1.5 handicap, the team must not lose by more than one goal.

If you bet on a whole-number handicap, such as +2 or -2, your stake will be refunded if the margin is exactly that number.
