What is a handicap in sports betting? A handicap is a number added to the result of a team or athlete within a specific range. For example, goals, points, goals scored, games, yellow cards, corners, sets, fouls, and so on. Handicap is also referred to as a "handicap." In sports betting, there are regular handicaps as well as European and Asian handicaps. Regular handicap in sports betting A regular handicap is denoted by the letter "H," followed by the side number and a whole number or decimal in parentheses. The handicap can be positive or negative. For example, H1(2.5), H2(-1.5), H1(0), and so on. A regular handicap with a whole number has a void if the final score is a draw after adding the handicap. With a fractional handicap, the bet either wins or loses. There is no void. H1(0) means the first team should not lose. If they win, the bet wins, and in case of a draw, it is void. 1.

For example, H1(2.25), H2(-1.75), H1(0.25), and so on. The stake for an Asian handicap is split evenly between the neighboring regular handicaps. For example, if you bet 1000 rubles on H1(-2.75), 500 rubles will go to H1(-2.5), and the other 500 rubles will go to H1(-3). How to calculate an Asian handicap Let's consider two examples of calculating bets on Asian handicap, each for 1000 rubles: H2(-1.25) in the football match "Milan" - "Juventus" at odds of 2.80: 500 rubles will be placed on H2(-1), and 500 rubles on H2(-1.5). If the away team wins by a difference of two goals or more, both bets win, and the payout will be 2800 rubles: 1000 x 2.80. If "Juventus" wins by a one-goal difference, the first half of the bet is void, and the second half loses. You will receive 500 rubles: 500 x 1.00. H1(0.25) in the football match "Getafe" - "Barcelona" at odds of 2.50: 500 rubles will be placed on H1(0), and 500 rubles on H1(0.5). If the home team wins, both bets win, and you will receive 2500 rubles: 1000 x 2.50. If it .
