Win

• Home team wins by more than 70 points. In this scenario, the bet wins. The home team’s victory surpasses the handicap margin, resulting in a successful outcome.
• Possible outcomes: 119:41, 154:83, 97:22.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 69 points) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 69.5 points) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Lose

• Home team wins by exactly 69 points. In this case, the bet results in a half loss. The home team achieves the exact margin set by the handicap, leading to a partial loss of the bet.
• Possible outcomes: 94:25, 77:8, 121:52.
• Payout = $50 * 1 (odds for 69 points) + $50 * 0 (odds for 69.5 points) = $50.

Lose

• Possible outcomes: 70:66, 52:25, 102:89.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 69 points) + $50 * 0 (odds for 69.5 points) = $0.
