Key Things to Know About 3-way European Handicap Bet:

  • Three Options: You can bet on Team A to win, Team B to win, or a draw after the handicap is applied.

  • Handicap: Each team gets a handicap (+ or -). This changes the score for betting purposes.

How does a 3-way European Handicap Bet Works?

Imagine Team A has a -1 handicap and Team B has +1. This means:

  • Team A starts with -1 goal. They need to win by two goals for your bet on them to win.

  • Team B starts with +1 goal. They can win or draw for your bet on them to win.

Example of How a 3-way European Handicap Bet Works:

Team A vs. Team B

Team A (-1) vs. Team B (+1)

If you bet on Team A and the final score is:

  • Team A 2 - 0 Team B: You win! The -1 handicap means Team A wins by two goals.

  • Team A 1 - 0 Team B: You lose. Team A only wins by one goal which result in a draw. If you bet on a draw instead, you win!

  • Team A 1 - 1 Team B: You lose. Team A's score is now 0-1 after +1, now Team B is winning.

  • Team A 0 - 1 Team B: You lose. Team B won.


Why Use The 3-Way European Handicap Bet?

  • More Choices: You can bet on a draw, which can be exciting for close games.

  • Better Odds: The draw option can sometimes make the odds better for bettors.
