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

Win

• Away team wins, draws, or loses by fewer than 86 points. When the bet wins, it means that the away team performs better than expected, either winning the game outright, drawing, or losing by a margin less than 86 points, resulting in a successful outcome for the better.
• Possible outcomes: 58:74, 63:63, 112:100.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 86.5 points) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 87 points) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Lose

• Possible outcomes: 163:76, 227:140, 110:23.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 86.5 points) + $50 * 1 (odds for 87 points) = $50.

Lose

• Away team loses by 88 or more points. If the away team loses by 88 or more points, the bet is unsuccessful, and the bettor loses the wager.
• Possible outcomes: 147:22, 395:203, 197:101.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 86.5 points) + $50 * 0 (odds for 87 points) = $0.
