Handicap Home +12.75

Handicap Home +12.75 is a type of sports betting market where the home team is given a 12.75 goal advantage before the match begins.

What makes this handicap special is its level of granularity. Unlike a traditional handicap, which may offer whole numbers like +1 or +2, the +12.75 handicap provides a very precise advantage, making it less likely for the bet to end in a push or tie result. It offers a unique betting experience, as it forces a more decisive outcome.

Now, let’s explore the possible outcomes of a bet, assuming a $100 stake and odds of 1.95.

Win

• You will win this bet if the home team either wins the match or loses by fewer than 12 goals. In this case, you would receive a payout based on the odds of 1.95, resulting in a profit if the home team performs well or if the opposing team loses by a relatively small margin.
• Possible scores: 23:6, 7:7, 14:20.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for +12.5 goals) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for +13 goals) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Lose

• If the home team loses by exactly 13 goals, you’ll experience a partial setback, resulting in a $50 reduction from your initial stake.
• Possible scores: 3:16, 0:13, 12:25.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for +12.5 goals) + $50 * 1 (odds for +13 goals) = $50.

Loss

• The bet will be lost if the home team loses by 14 or more goals or loses the match outright, resulting in a loss of your entire $100 stake.
• Possible scores: 3:17, 14:30, 11:39.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for +12.5 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for +13 goals) = $0.
