Handicap Home -73.75

Handicap Home -73.75 signifies that the home team starts the game with a theoretical deficit of 73.75 points.

This means for the bet to win, the home team must win by a margin greater than 73.75 points.

Here’s an illustration using a $100 bet with odds of 1.95: we’ll explore various outcomes based on this example.

Win

• Home team wins by more than 75 points. In this scenario, where the home team achieves a victory by a margin surpassing 75 points, the bet is successful. The bettor receives a payout equivalent to their stake multiplied by the odds for this particular outcome.
• Possible outcomes: 106:22, 137:46, 251:118.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 73.5 points) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 74 points) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Win

• Home team wins by exactly 74 points. If the home team secures a victory with a margin precisely at 74 points, it results in a half win. While not fully meeting the handicap requirement, it still partially fulfills the condition for the bet to succeed.
• Possible outcomes: 100:26, 87:13, 152:78.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 73.5 points) + $50 * 1 (odds for 74 points) = $97.5 + $50 = $147.5.

Lose

• Home team wins by 73 or fewer points. Should the home team fail to overcome the handicap of 73.75 points and secure a victory by a margin of 73 or fewer points, the bet is considered lost.
• Possible outcomes: 55:28, 83:76, 62:19.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 73.5 points) + $50 * 0 (odds for 74 points) = $0.
