Handicap Away -73.75

Handicap Away -73.75 means that the away team starts the game with a hypothetical deficit of 73.75 points.

In the context of a bet with a size of $100 and odds of 1.95, we’ll explore various outcomes to illustrate potential winnings or losses.

Win

• Away team wins by more than 75 points. In the event of a substantial victory by the away team, the bet is successful. This means the outcome surpasses the handicap, resulting in a win for the bettor.
• Possible outcomes: 22:106, 46:137, 118:251.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for -73.5 points) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for -74 points) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Win

• Away team wins by exactly 74 points. When the margin of victory precisely matches the handicap, it results in a half win for the bet. While not a complete success, the bettor still receives partial winnings.
• Possible outcomes: 26:100, 13:87, 78:152.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for -73.5 points) + $50 * 1 (odds for -74 points) = $97.5 + $50 = $147.5.

Lose

• Away team wins by 73 or fewer points. If the away team fails to overcome the imposed handicap and wins by a margin of 73 or fewer points, the bet is unsuccessful, resulting in a loss for the bettor.
• Possible outcomes: 28:55, 76:83, 19:62.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for -73.5 points) + $50 * 0 (odds for -74 points) = $0.
