What does the bet on handicap Away -33.5 mean?
How to understand Away -33.5 in the BS line?
Away -33.5 is a bet on Guests winning with a handicap minus thirty three and a half.
Handicap, as a type of bet, presupposes a pre-granted advantage or lag of one team to another, implying that this will not ultimately affect its victory. In other words, in order for Away -33.5 to play, the Guests must win with an advantage of at least 34 points. The handicap can be offered for the whole game or a specific part of it.
This type of bet is appropriate when the odds for the usual victory of the Guests seem rather low to you. A bet on a handicap is less likely, but it allows you to count on a good win with small risks.
