Handicap Betting
If you're interested in discovering everything that sports betting has to offer, it's key to understand handicap betting. Handicap betting is one of our most popular betting types, placed by a huge majority of our players. Below, we'll explain what a handicap bet is, how they work, and how you can include it to maximise your betting.
what is Handicap Betting?
In short, handicap betting gives one side an imaginary lead. For example, if we're talking about football, the score in the game is taken as something like 0-1 or 0-3.5 instead of 0-0. Handicap betting grants the supposedly weaker opponent an imaginary advantage of one or more goals or points over the favourite. This handicap value is added to the actual result in order to increase the chance of an unexpected result. At NEO.bet, handicap betting is available for both upcoming and live bets. In some sports, you can also place a handicap bet on other events, such as corners or cards in football.
How bet with handicaps
To get the most out of handicap betting, you might want to choose a game involving a very strong favourite. You can either increase the odds of the favourite winning, or make it easier for the underdog to win by giving either one a lead. If you're placing the handicap bet on the underdogs, the odds will drop, but there's a higher possibility that your bet comes through. Handicap betting therefore allows you to get higher odds on games with very strong favourites.
Benefits of Handicap Bets
Handicap betting has a lot of advantages, including betting on the rank outsiders in a game while giving more chance of it coming through. The risk of loss from a handicap bet is much lower than the risk of staking a bet on a team with such high odds that they are unlikely to win. On the other hand, you can also place handicap bets on strong favourites, increasing the odds. You can also place handicap bets on nearly every sports event, whether you like football, hockey, baseball, or American football. Discover all the handicap betting options with NEO.bet.
