Handicap Home -36.25

Handicap Home -36.25 means that the home team starts the match with a handicap of -36.25 goals.

In other words, they need to win the game by a margin of at least 36.25 goals for a bet on them to be successful.

This handicap is unique because of its fractional value. Most handicaps are whole numbers, but in this case, the fractional value of 0.25 adds an extra layer of complexity to the bet. It essentially means that the home team must win by a margin of at least 36 goals and a quarter, which is an unusual requirement for a sports bet. This makes it a challenging and intriguing handicap to wager on, as it introduces the possibility of a “half win” or a “half lose” outcome.

Let’s consider an example with a bet size of $100 and odds of 1.95. We’ll explore the potential outcomes of this bet.

Win

• Home team wins by more than 37 goals. In this scenario, when the home team wins by a margin of 37 goals or more, the bet wins, and you receive a payout.
• Possible outcomes: 76:18, 101:50, 64:11.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 36 goals) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 36.5 goals) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Lose

• Home team wins by exactly 36 goals. If the home team wins by precisely 36 goals, it results in a half loss for your bet. You will receive only half of your initial stake back.
• Possible outcomes: 51:15, 40:4, 109:73.
• Payout = $50 * 1 (odds for 36 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for 36.5 goals) = $50.

Lose

• Home team wins by 35 or fewer goals. If the home team wins by a margin of 35 goals or fewer, the bet loses, and there is no payout.
• Possible outcomes: 36:33, 18:14, 70:56.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 36 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for 36.5 goals) = $0.

In summary, the Handicap Home -36.25 is a unique and challenging handicap that requires the home team to win by a specific margin. The fractional value of 0.25 adds complexity to the bet, and the outcomes can result in a win, a half loss, or a loss, depending on the final goal margin achieved by the home team.
