betting?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Handicap_Betting\"><\/span>What Is Handicap Betting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Handicap betting is a kind of wagering where a certain advantage in the form of a certain number of goals is given to the weaker team, or a disadvantage is applied to the stronger team.<\/p>\n<p>It is a great way to balance chances between the team that win the game and the underdog in order to control the outcome you think may occur.<\/p>\n<p>A handicap is placed on one team by the bookmaker. In order for the team to become a clear winner, they must overcome this virtual advantage or disadvantage or make use of it. As a bettor, it\u2019s your job to determine the correct handicap to win your bet.<\/p>\n<p>For example, imagine <em>Leeds United<\/em> playing <em>Manchester City<\/em>, and you&#8217;ll think <em>Leeds<\/em> win. Not only do you think they\u2019ll win, you think they will win even if you took away one goal.<\/p>\n<p>So, you wager on <em>Leeds United<\/em> with a negative handicap of -1. This would mean that if their match ends at 3, the final score with the handicap would be at least two goals (3-1=2). If <em>Man City<\/em> scored no goals, you\u2019d win the handicap bet, as <em>Leeds United<\/em> would effectively win 2:0. If <em>Man City<\/em> scored one goal, you\u2019d still win as the score would be 2:1. However, if <em>Man City<\/em> scored two goals, you\u2019d lose the wager as the handicap score ends in a draw &#8211; 2:2, even if <em>Leeds United<\/em> scored three goals.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s interesting, though, is how you manipulate the handicaps to obtain better odds. For bettors, increasing the handicap makes it a higher-risk stake, but it pays off with much higher odds. This is how.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Handicap_Betting_Explained_in_Detail\"><\/span>Handicap Betting: Explained in Detail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Handicap betting is a way to even out the ratios when one side is a guaranteed winner. By using a virtual deficit, bettors can work the ratios to predict the most likely outcome. Most often used to give a side a clearer chance of winning, especially if they\u2019re the underdog, handicap betting is sometimes called \u201c<a href=\"\/blog\/en\/what-is-betting-against-the-spread\/\">betting against the spread<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>While it may appear that you need to be an expert to give spread wagering for a go, the <a href=\"https:\/\/parimatch.onelink.me\/lTl0\/TZ?utm_source=tz_blog&amp;utm_medium=app_download&amp;utm_campaign=what-is-handicap-betting-explained\">Parimatch mobile app<\/a> is so simple to use that beginner will have no trouble getting the hang of spread stakes.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a simple explanation to get you started.<\/p>\n<p>Spread stakes make wagering a little more interesting than regular gambling. It also gives bettors higher ratios because the bets are a little riskier.<\/p>\n<p>Picture this. You play a tennis game against Roger Federer. He is most likely going to win every time. If someone were to stake on Federer, they would make a small profit each time. However, it would be tiny.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the phrase \u201ceven the odds\u201d comes in. Now imagine that Federer has to play with his left hand. He\u2019s now at a disadvantage, making it more likely that the game ends in your favor. However, we\u2019d probably still wager on Federer. Yet because it\u2019s now harder for the professional tennis player to win, the ratios are higher, and our bet will return a bigger profit.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, a betting handicap is when a spread is placed on one side, which they must overcome to win the wager. Say, Team 1 is the favorite, and Team 2 is the underdog, and you give Team 1 a spread of (-2). Team 1 must win the match, taking into account two fewer goals. So if Team 1 wins 4:1, you would minus two goals for the handicapped final score to be 2:1. In this scenario, Team 1 still wins, and the wager pays out. However, if Team 1 had won 3:1, this would be a draw handicap bet with 1:1 in place, and the stake wouldn\u2019t win.<br \/>\n<div class=\"btn-box\"><a href=\"\/en\/football\/prematch\/1?utm_source=tz_blog&amp;utm_medium=football_prematch&amp;utm_campaign=what-is-handicap-betting-explained\" class=\"article__button button button_article\" style=\"\" target=\"_self\">Try Handicap Football Betting<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Handicap_Betting_Work\"><\/span>How Does Handicap Betting Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Spread wagering may seem complicated in theory, but once you try it on the Parimatch platform, it all becomes clear.

This will help you to understand how to place spread stakes confidently, how to read handicap ratios, and how to calculate your potential winnings.<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of ease, we\u2019ll use the example of soccer handicap betting to simply explain how handicap betting works.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soccer_Handicap_Betting_Explained\"><\/span>Soccer Handicap Betting Explained<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Parimatch state-of-the-art Android\/iOS app offers a plethora of exciting soccer matches to place handicap bets on.

You can see that Asian handicaps that look like this:<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 720px;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">1 (-1.25)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>1.85<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">2 (+1.25)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>1.95<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Why is there a quarter in the added\/subtracted goals? This way, the Asian handicap bet is \u201csplit\u201d between the closest half-goal options. If, in this case, you bet 10,000 TZS on the <em>New England Patriots,<\/em> it would mean your bet is split in half between 1(0) and 1(+0.5). In other words, half of your stake is on the 0-point handicap, and the other half is on the 0.5 handicap. This way, you can win and draw (win one-half of a wager) or lose and draw (lose one half of a wager).<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you bet on the <em>Patriots<\/em>. This way, half of your bet goes on <em>Patriots<\/em> to win, draw, or lose by less than 1 goal. Another half of your bet is for the <em>Patriots<\/em> to win, draw, or lose by less than 1.5 goals.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in fact, the Dallas <em>Cowboys<\/em> wins over the <em>Patriots<\/em> with a 1:0 score. Half your bet would be refunded due to a handicap tie (<em>Patriots<\/em> lost by exactly one goal). The second half would win (<em>Patriots<\/em> lost by less than 1.5 goals).<\/p>\n<p>So, your payout is (5,000 TZS *1.0) + (5,000 TZS *1.95) = 14,750 TZS.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Place_Handicap_Bets_on_Parimatch\"><\/span>How to Place Handicap Bets on Parimatch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At Parimatch, we\u2019re proud to present our next-generation sports betting app. Stepping into the future, Parimatch brings its customers the most innovative betting experience in all of Africa directly from your smartphone.

Just remember, if you have a clear favorite and a clear underdog, you\u2019ll want to place a single handicap bet. For situations where there is no difference between the two teams, you can place a level handicap bet. If there is only a slight discrepancy between the two sides, try splitting your handicap bets. Split handicap bets can be a great way to gain cumulative profit.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure who the favorite is, always look at the odds. Low odds mean a scenario is more likely. If there are low odds for a team to win, they\u2019re the favorite. High odds on a team to win make them the underdog.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, handicap betting is a great strategy to level the playing field in all kinds of scenarios. A little more exciting than traditional betting, some bettors simply love the strategy as it allows them to back their favorite team, compensating for the difference!<\/p>\n<p>If you need more help on what handicap betting is, how it works, or how to place a handicap bet on Parimatch, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch.
