Handicap Away -70.75

Handicap Away -70.75 means that the away team is given a virtual disadvantage of 70.75 points before the start of the match for the purpose of betting.

In this example, with a bet size of $100 and odds of 1.95, we’ll explore different outcomes of the bet.

Win

• Away team wins by more than 72 points. In this scenario, the bet wins. The away team has surpassed the handicap of -70.75 points by a considerable margin, resulting in a successful outcome for the better.
• Possible outcomes: 22:106, 46:137, 118:251.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 70.5 points) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 71 points) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Win

• Away team wins by exactly 71 points. In this case, the bet results in a half win. While the away team has exceeded the handicap, it falls short of the next integer, resulting in a partial payout.
• Possible outcomes: 26:97, 13:84, 78:149.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 70.5 points) + $50 * 1 (odds for 71 points) = $97.5 + $50 = $147.5.

Lose

• Away team wins by 70 or fewer points. If the away team wins by 70 or fewer points, the bet loses. The handicap isn’t overcome, resulting in a loss for the bettor.
• Possible outcomes: 28:55, 76:83, 19:62.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 70.5 points) + $50 * 0 (odds for 71 points) = $0.
