What is handicap betting?

Handicap betting also known as line betting, points betting, spread betting, or Asian handicap, is the event whereby betting companies provide a platform where gamblers can give either the stronger team or the weaker team points ahead. 

By doing this, they are giving an advantage or disadvantage to certain teams in order to even the field. Handicap betting - also known as the spread or Asian betting - effectively "even up" a market, by assigning a virtual deficit or surplus (handicap) to each selection. 

Handicap betting markets apply either a positive or negative goal/point handicap to each side/player depending on which is identified as the favorite (negative handicap) or underdog (positive handicap)

Once the final score has been confirmed, if the selection you bet on is greater than the opponents after the handicap has been applied to the score, your bet will be successful.

Handicap betting Rugby

Following the basics of rugby betting and handicap market, you must, first of all, know the basics of the rugby game. The basics of rugby mean getting around ball into your opponent’s in-goal area. To place handicap betting in ruby you must know the following:

The Top Points and Try Scorers:

Fly-halves are the greatest threat in rugby, you must know if these players are in there top form and if they can deliver the appropriate goals for you to even the deficit. Make sure that the team you are staking to even the deficit scores a lot of balls in the opposition half.

Look at the total Points Scored and Conceded by both teams:

It is very pertinent to look at the points scored and conceded by the two teams you wish to stake on, you need to view the statistics to learn a great deal about these. Staking on an underdog is not bad, however, you have to consider if the underdog concedes fewer goals than the other team.



Handicap 1:0

What this handicap type simply means is that the home teams are given a goal ahead of the away team, which means that for you to win this stake, the match must end in a draw or the Home team must win the match. If peradventure the away team wins the match the stake is lost. It is advisable to carry a handicap of this type when two strong teams are playing and when the strongest is at home. A good example of this is when Manchester City and Liverpool FC are playing at the Etihad stadium, It will be wise for you to give Man City a goal up, there, expecting a win or draw from this match to profit from the stake.



Handicap 0:2

What this handicap type implies s that you give the away team two goals ahead of the home. This is a little difficult and should only be played when you have a very strong team at home against a very weak side. A good example is when Barcelona Fc of Spain host Girona sporting club, it is expected that a Barcelona team with star-studded players which includes Messi. Suarez and Coutinho will score lots of goals against their opponents who are weak both offensively and defensively.


The 3-way handicap betting

3-way handicap betting allows gamblers to bet on a tie option available in the market. If you pick the handicap draw option, it means you are effectively betting on the game ending in a victory for the team receiving the virtual deficit with the exact winning margin given.

Example of a three-way handicap bet:

A good example of three-way handicap margins on Stoke vs. Manchester City is given below:
Stoke: +2
Draw/handicap: effectively -2
Manchester City: -2
Let’s say the game finishes 1-0 to Manchester City. BackingManchester city to win would mean the bet is lost as they could not cover the spread - the game effectively finished 2-1to Stoke. If you placed a bet on the handicap tie, your bet would also have lost as Manchester City didn’t win by the margin you staked on.



Handicap draw:

This type of handicap betting is very risky because what you imply is that you specified margin will be even. A good example is when you give Arsenal a goal against Manchester United, it means Manchester United have to score just a goal to make the game end in a draw for you and for you to win the game. If the games end goalless, you lose, if Arsenal wins the game, you lose, If Manchester United scores more than a goal, you lose. My advice is you have to really forecast n the match well to win it.



Conclusion:

Handicap betting is a very interesting market in the football betting world, however, you have to be careful which type of sport you want to play and which teams exactly you want to give a handicap to maximize your profit. Don’t be confused by some bookmakers, some use the term Asian handicap, but it is a related term. SurePredicts VIP section can help you make higher wins.
