Handicap Away -37.25

Handicap Away -37.25 means that the away team is starting the game with a significant disadvantage of 37.25 goals.

What makes this handicap special is the precision of the decimal point. It’s not a whole number like -37 or -38, but -37.25. This level of precision means that the bettor is essentially splitting their wager between two outcomes: the possibility of the away team winning by more than 37.25 goals or exactly 37 goals. This adds a layer of complexity to the bet and offers different potential outcomes.

Let’s take an example to understand this better. If you place a $100 bet with odds of 1.95 on the away team, we can explore the different outcomes of the bet.

Win

• Away team wins by more than 38 goals. In this scenario, your bet wins, and you receive a payout.
• Possible outcomes: 18:76, 50:101, 11:64.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 37 goals) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 37.5 goals) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Lose

• Away team wins by exactly 37 goals. Here, you have a half loss. While the away team met the handicap exactly, you only get half of your initial stake back.
• Possible outcomes: 15:52, 4:41, 23:60.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 37 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for 37.5 goals) = $50.

Lose

• Away team wins by 36 or fewer goals. If the away team fails to meet the handicap and wins by 36 or fewer goals, your bet loses, and you receive no payout.
• Possible outcomes: 33:36, 14:18, 56:70.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 37 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for 37.5 goals) = $0.

In summary, a Handicap Away -37.25 bet is an interesting wager that accounts for a precise margin of victory for the away team. It allows for multiple possible outcomes and can lead to different payouts based on the final result of the game.
