What is handicap betting?

Handicap betting - also referred to as the 'spread' - involves giving one selection a virtual deficit (a handicap) to overcome at the start of an event. Conversely, choosing another selection in the same market will usually involve that selection receiving a virtual start. If your chosen selections score is greater than it's opponents AFTER the handicap has been applied, your chosen selection is deemed the winner.

This type of market is predominantly offered to "even up" a market so in that a selection deemed "inferior" to it's opponent(s) has a greater chance of winning the event. If the competitors are deemed to have equal chances, you may also come across the term 'scr' or 'scratch' in replacement of a handicap being applied. This means no handicaps are applied to final scores and that the winner of the market will be the outright winner of the market (or the 'Draw')

However, be aware that on a small number of occasions the selection deemed inferior will receive the deficit to overcome - this will usually be signified by a higher price but please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to clarify the selections.
