In the example of a bet size of $100 and odds of 1.95, we’re going to explore different outcomes of the bet to understand potential payouts and scenarios.

Win

• Home team wins by more than 97 points. When the home team wins by more than 97 points, the bet is a winner. This indicates a significant victory for the home team, surpassing the handicap by a considerable margin.
• Possible outcomes: 141:33, 248:112, 182:75.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for -95.5 points) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for -96 points) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.

Half Win

• Home team wins by exactly 96 points. In the scenario where the home team wins by exactly 96 points, the bet results in a half win. While not a complete victory, it still yields a partial payout.
• Possible outcomes: 122:26, 109:13, 174:78.
• Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for -95.5 points) + $50 * 1 (odds for -96 points) = $97.5 + $50 = $147.5.

Lose

• Home team wins by 95 or fewer points. If the home team fails to overcome the handicap and wins by 95 or fewer points, the bet is unsuccessful. This outcome results in a loss for the bettor.
• Possible outcomes: 106:59, 114:87, 73:30.
• Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for -95.5 points) + $50 * 0 (odds for -96 points) = $0.
