In the world of sports betting, there are several terms and concepts that can be a little confusing for beginners. Two such terms are Handicap and margin of victory, which are quite common in sports betting.
Handicap is a term used to equalize the chances of a match between teams or players of different levels. In this case, a team or player that is considered weaker receives an “advantage” of points, which is added to the final score. On the other hand, the team or player considered stronger has a “disadvantage” of points, which is subtracted from the final score.
For example, if a team with a +1 Handicap wins a game 2-1, in fact in the result of the bet, they won 3-1. If a team with a -1 Handicap loses a game 2-1, in fact in the result of the bet, she lost by 2 to 2, that is, the Handicap caused there to be a draw.
The margin of victory is a concept that determines the difference in points between teams or players at the end of the match. For example, if a team wins a game 3-0, the margin of victory is 3 points. Bookmakers often offer betting options based on the margin of victory, such as betting on whether a team will win by more than a certain number of points.
In summary, Handicap and margin of victory are important terms to keep in mind when placing sports bets as they can significantly influence the final result. It's important to understand how these concepts work so you can make more informed bets and increase your chances of success.
