🏆 Handicap: the provision of an artificial advantage to one of the teams, expressed in the number (number) of goals, points, seconds, etc. This number can be an integer or a fraction. The handicap can be either negative or positive. The handicap allows you to equalize the chances of the competing parties at the initial stage, if one of them (the favorite) has an obvious advantage over the other (the outsider). To determine the success of the bet, you need to add the specified handicap to the final result.
🔍 A handicap bet is a wager on a team's victory, taking into account a handicap. The handicap value must be added to the result of the selected team in the match. If, after this addition, the selected team has more points/balls/pucks than the opposing team, then our bet wins. In case of a draw after considering the handicap, the bet will be refunded (payment with odds of 1).
Peculiarities:
If there's a draw after considering the handicap, the bet is refunded with k=1.
Handicap(0): a bet on a team’s victory with zero; in case of a draw, the bet is refunded with k=1.
