Positive handicap
Is this a plus handicap or a handicap with a plus sign (+1, +1,5, +2.0, +2,5 etc.). The forecaster understands that an outsider can fight a grandee, so he makes such bets. Sometimes this form is denoted without a plus sign, but simply as F1 (1), F2 (3.5), etc.
A plus handicap means that the team on which the bet is placed should not lose by a greater difference than indicated in the handicap. For example, we set F2 (1.5). The bet will be played when team 2 does not lose or loses, but in one ball (0:1, 2:3, etc.). In case of a win or a draw, the bet also goes in. But she will not play if there is a defeat of two goals or more (0:2, 1:3).
EXAMPLE AND DESIGNATIONS OF A PLUS HANDICAP
Let’s consider the case if in a match of a clear favorite against a weak team you are sure that the outsider will be able to impose a fight, but at the same time you are not sure that he will not lose. You can bet with a handicap on an outsider, for example, that he will not lose by more than 2 goals. Thereby insuring your bet in case of a minimal victory of the favorite.
Plus handicap in betting
Thus, the handicap allows you to bet on the advantage of one of the teams for a higher coefficient. As you have already understood, a bet with a handicap can be of two types: on the favorite (minus handicap) or on the outsider (plus handicap). Each bookmaker designates this type of line bet in its own way. You may find different designations in different BC, but the essence of the bet remains the same for everyone. Let’s look at the example of the German Cup match “Bayern” – “Eintracht”:
- team 1 wins with handicap (numerical value)
- handicap 1 (numerical value)
- F1 (numeric value)
- avaria handicap (numerical value)
This term denotes the victory of the first team with a handicap. Accordingly , the victory of the second team with a handicap will be denoted:
- team 2 wins with handicap (numerical value)
- handicap 2 (numerical value)
- F2 (numeric value)
- Eintracht fora (numerical value)
Using the example of the same Bayern – Eintracht football match, we will analyze in more detail what a handicap PLUS is and what values there are.
HANDICAP (+1) OR F(1)
Let’s assume that we placed a bet with a handicap (+1) on the outsider “Eintracht” for a coefficient of 3.6. In order for our bet to play,it is necessary that “Eintracht” wins or does not lose the match. If Eintracht loses by one goal, the bet is calculated as a refund.
HANDICAP (+2) OR F(2)
Let’s assume that we placed a bet with a handicap (+2) on the outsider “Eintracht” for a coefficient of 2.0. In order for our bet to play, it is necessary that “Eintracht” won or did not lose in the match by more than one goal. If Eintracht loses by exactly 2 goals, the bet is calculated as a refund.
HANDICAP (+3) OR F(3)
Fearing that Bayern can win big we made the bet with odds (+3) outsider “Eintracht Frankfurt” for the ratio of 1.37. Our bet is played, you need to “Eintracht” won or did not play in the match by more than two goals. If Eintracht loses by exactly 3 goals, the bet is calculated as a refund.
HANDICAP (+4)
Having decided to thoroughly insure ourselves, we placed a bet with a handicap (+4) on the outsider Eintracht for 1.13. In order for our bet to play, it is necessary that Eintracht win or not lose the match by more than three goals. If Eintracht loses by exactly 4 goals, the bet is calculated as a refund.
HANDICAP (+5)
The numerical value of a handicap of five or more goals in football is extremely rare. And it directly depends on the level of the teams’ play.
As it turned out, if you look into it, there is nothing complicated about betting on positive odds. Elementary school math! To the goals scored by our team, we add a numerical value from the form and subtract the goals of the second team. If the indicator is positive, the bet is played, if negative, it is lost.
This type of bet can be applied not only to goals, but also to other indicators: corners, shots on target, offsides, cards, possession of the ball and others. As strange as it may sound: “betting on positive odds has its advantages.” They are convenient because they give you the opportunity to insure your bet!
