The term handicap should be well familiar to you. In everyday life, one always speaks of this word 22Bet apk when there is a handicap or a disadvantage for a certain person. In the field of sports betting, a club gets this handicap, which virtually puts the team at a disadvantage even before the start of the event. The most common form in soccer betting is the handicap -1. If you read in a forum the tip on the handicap victory of a team without explicitly mentioning the amount of the additional load, you can almost certainly assume that in the most popular sport in the world it means the tip on the handicap -1. This type of bet is usually abbreviated as “HC”.
RULES AND TRAPS
The rules of the handicap are quickly explained. Depending on the amount of the load, the club you bet on will have the handicap added to it at the final whistle. A -1 handicap means that the club will have one goal deducted from the final score. A HC +3 results in the club getting 3 hits extra to the scoreboard standings. The biggest pitfall lies in the distinction between the common handicap and the Asian handicap. An Asian handicap (AHC for short) is always issued as a two-way bet. If a draw occurs, taking into account the additional load or reward, you will get your bet back. With the normal handicap you can bet on a draw including the extra distribution, so that the bet on team A or team B is lost.
EXAMPLE- Bundesliga match
We would like to explain the type of bet using a pairing in the Bundesliga. Assume that FC Bayern Munich is playing at home against Hamburger Sportverein. The Munich team are clear favorites at the Allianz Arena, so the following odds might seem realistic:
- Bayern Munich HC -1 @ 2.20
- Draw (Bayern -1) @3.50
- Hamburger SV HC +1 @ 3,50
The bet on Bayern HC-1 is won if FCB wins by at least two goals, as exactly 1 goal on the Munich side is still deducted from the final score. If the match ends with 1:0, 2:1, 3:2 or another close result for the Bavarians, the handicap bet on the Bavarians is off, because taking the deduction into account, only a draw for the Bavarians will result. The draw tip at @3.50 would be paid out as correct. Any result where Bayern fails to win at home will result in a handicap win for HSV. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the HC + 1 on Hamburg’s side would ensure victory. If Hamburg has already won at the referee’s final whistle, only the margin of victory increases.
As with any other bet, the net profit is calculated according to the following formula:
(stake * odds) – stake = net profit.
Especially beginners of the betting sport should pay attention to the fact that the payout does not correspond to the profit at the same time, but the previously made stakes must be deducted again. I would like to point out again that accurate bookkeeping leads to greater clarity and better results in the supposed gambling sports betting in the long run.
