A handicap bet is when a condition (advantage or disadvantage) is placed on a specific team or player in order to make the bet a bit more challenging. In order to determine how the bet will be calculated, simply add up the defined handicap to the goals/points of the selected team/player after a match. There are three possible outcomes for an handicap, all of which are listed below:
If the outcome is in favor of your team â your bet will be settled as a win.
If the outcome of the match is a draw (after the handicap has been added) â this is a push, and in the multi-bet, it will be settled with the odds of 1.
If the outcome of the match (after the handicap has been added) is in favor of the opposing team â your bet will be settled as a loss.
Taking as an example that the client has bet 100BRL on the following:
Bet# | Event | Market | Odds | Outcome |
1 | Man U v Liverpool | Man U(+3) | 2.5 | Won |
The client has bet that Manchester United will win if given a handicap of +3 goals, assuming that the final score was 2-2 (Man U - Liverpool), then adding the 3 goals to Manchester United will lead to 5-2, which means that Manchester United has won. Therefore the client has won the bet. Their total payout will be calculated as follows 100BRL X 2.5 = 250BRL
Bet# | Event | Market | Odds | Outcome |
1 | Man U v Liverpool | Man U(+2) | 2.5 | Refund |
Assuming that the final score was 2-4 (Man U - Liverpool), then adding the 2 goals to Manchester United will lead to 4-4, which means that Manchester United has tied with Liverpool. Therefore the client has neither won nor lost the bet (refund). Their total payout will be calculated as follows 100BRL X 1 = 100BRL
Bet# | Event | Market | Odds | Outcome |
1 | Man U v Liverpool | Man U(+1) | 2.5 | Loss |
Assuming that the final score was 2-4 (Man U - Liverpool), then adding the 1 goal to Manchester United will lead to 3-4, which means that Manchester United has still lost to Liverpool. Therefore the client has lost the bet. Their total payout will be calculated as follows 100BRL X 0 = 0BRL
