Handicap Home -42.75
Handicap Home -42.75 means that the home team starts the game with a virtual deficit of 42.75 goals.
What makes this handicap special is its ability to offer more nuanced betting options, providing bettors with the opportunity to win, half-win, or lose based on the specific goal difference between the home and away teams. It allows for a more detailed analysis of the game, considering not only the victory or defeat but also the margin of victory.
Now, let’s explore different outcomes using an example bet size of $100 and odds of 1.95. In this case, we’ll focus on the home team winning.
Win
- Home team wins by more than 44 goals. In this scenario, the bet wins, and the payout is determined by the odds and the chosen bet size.
- Possible outcomes: 84:33, 115:57, 102:21.
- Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 42.5 goals) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 43 goals) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.
Half Win
- Home team wins by exactly 43 goals. Here, the bet results in a half win, and the payout is adjusted accordingly.
- Possible outcomes: 58:15, 45:2, 110:67.
- Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 42.5 goals) + $50 * 1 (odds for 43 goals) = $97.5 + $50 = $147.5.
Lose
- Home team wins by 42 or fewer goals. If the home team fails to meet the handicap, the bet loses, resulting in no payout.
- Possible outcomes: 44:39, 72:65, 51:16.
- Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 42.5 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for 43 goals) = $0.
The Handicap Home -42.75 introduces a level of precision in predicting game outcomes, offering bettors the flexibility to win, half-win, or lose based on the specific margin of victory. This nuanced approach enhances the betting experience and provides more opportunities for strategic analysis.
