Handicap Home +74.25

Handicap Home +74.25 implies that the home team starts the game with a virtual lead of 74.25 points.

When considering a bet size of $100 and odds of 1.95, let’s explore different outcomes of the bet.

Win

• Home team wins, draws, or loses by fewer than 73 points. In this scenario, the bet is successful. The home team either wins the match outright or loses by a margin smaller than the handicap, resulting in a win for the bettor.
• Possible outcomes: 59:41, 65:65, 88:107.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for 74 points) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 74.5 points) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half win

• Home team loses by exactly 74 points. In this case, the bet is partially successful, resulting in a half win for the bettor.
• Possible outcomes: 20:94, 9:83, 82:156.
• Payout = $50 * 1 (odds for 74 points) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for 74.5 points) = $50 + $97.5 = $147.5.

Lose

• Home team loses by 75 or more points. If the home team loses by a margin greater than 74 points, the bet is unsuccessful, resulting in a loss for the bettor.
• Possible outcomes: 14:96, 40:132, 66:154.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for 74 points) + $50 * 0 (odds for 74.5 points) = $0.
