🤔 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.
💡 Match example Lokomotiv Moscow vs 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 goal difference is exactly equal to the handicap.
⚾ How to use handicaps in your bets?
Using the same match as an example Lokomotiv Moscow vs Rubin Kazan.
We’re confident this will be a close match, and Rubin won’t lose to Lokomotiv by more than one goal.
First, select the match and go to the “Handicaps” section.
Select the handicap: Rubin Kazan (+1).
Now all that’s left is to enjoy the match and follow the result. What outcomes are possible? Let’s look at three scenarios:
🤑 Win: Lokomotiv Moscow vs Rubin Kazan 1:1.
Rubin didn’t lose the match, so the bet won.
💫 Refund: Lokomotiv Moscow vs Rubin Kazan 2:1.
Rubin lost by exactly one goal. With the (+1) handicap applied, the score is a draw, so the stake is refunded.
🙈 Loss: Lokomotiv Moscow vs Rubin Kazan 3:1.
Rubin lost by two goals, so the bet lost.
