Handicap Home -10.75

In sports betting, the handicap of Home -10.75 signifies that the home team begins the game with a disadvantage of 10.75 points.

This means that when the final score is calculated, 10.75 points are subtracted from the home team’s score to determine the outcome of the bet.

This particular handicap bet stands out due to its fractional nature, which falls between -10.5 and -11. It essentially splits the difference, offering a slightly greater advantage to the favorite team. In essence, it means that you’re placing two separate bets: one on Handicap Home -10.5 and another on Handicap Home -11. This arrangement allows for two potential outcomes, enhancing the complexity and potential payouts of the wager.

To explore the potential outcomes, let’s consider a $100 bet with odds of 1.95.

Win

• In the event that the home team wins by a margin greater than 12 points or wins the game outright, the bet is considered a win. This outcome would result in a full payout based on the given odds.
• Possible outcomes: 14:1, 22:7, 35:16, 28:12.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for -10.5 goals) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for -11 goals) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Win

• A half win occurs when the home team wins by exactly 11 points. In this scenario, half of the bet is considered a win, while the other half is refunded as a push.
• Possible outcomes: 15:4, 11:0, 39:28.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for -10.5 goals) + $50 * 1 (odds for -11 goals) = $50 + $97.5 = $147.5.

Lose

• If the home team either loses the game or wins by a margin less than 10 points, the bet is considered a loss. Bettors would forfeit their initial stake in this case.
• Possible outcomes: 10:4, 20:12, 2:6.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for -10.5 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for -11 goals) = $0.
