Home -4: Meaning in Betting

The Home -4 bet is a type of bet where the home team needs to win by more than 4 goals for your bet to win. If the home team wins by exactly 4 goals, your stake is refunded, resulting in a «push». If the home team wins by 5 or more goals, your bet wins in full. If the home team wins by fewer than 4 goals, draws, or loses, your bet loses.

This type of bet is useful when you expect the home team to win by a large margin but want partial protection in case they only win by exactly 4 goals.
