What is a European Handicap (0:4)?

A European Handicap (0:4) is a type of three-way bet where the underdog is given a four-goal advantage before the match begins.


How Does a European Handicap (0:4) Work?

In a European Handicap (0:4) scenario:

  • The favorite starts with a virtual deficit of 4 goals.
  • Or it can be said that the underdog starts with a 4-goal advantage.
  • There are three possible betting options:

    1️⃣ Handicap 1 (0:4) → You win if the favorite wins by 5 or more goals.
    2️⃣ Handicap X (0:4) → You win if the favorite wins by exactly 4 goals.
    3️⃣ Handicap 2 (0:4) → You win if the underdog loses by less than 4 goals, draws, or wins.
