What does European handicap mean in betting?
European handicap is a type of betting where one team is given a goal advantage or disadvantage before the match starts. Unlike Asian handicap, European handicap does not allow for half or quarter goals, meaning there are only three possible outcomes: home win, draw, or away win.
How does European handicap work?
European handicap works by assigning a virtual advantage or disadvantage to one team before the match begins. For example, if a team is given a (0:1) handicap, they must win by at least two goals for the bet to succeed. If they win by only one goal, the result is considered a draw for betting purposes.
What is the difference between Asian and European handicap?
The key difference between Asian and European handicap is that Asian handicap eliminates the possibility of a draw by using half and quarter goals, leading to either a win or a refund. European handicap, on the other hand, only allows whole number handicaps and includes the possibility of a draw as an outcome.
European Handicap (0:1) meaning
A European Handicap (0:1) means the away team starts with a one-goal advantage. For a bet on the home team to win, they must win by at least two goals. If the home team wins by exactly one goal, the result is a draw. If the away team wins or the match ends in a draw, a bet on the home team loses.
European Handicap (0:2) meaning
A European Handicap (0:2) means the away team starts with a two-goal advantage. A bet on the home team wins only if they win by at least three goals. If they win by exactly two goals, the bet is a draw. If the away team wins or the match ends in a draw, a bet on the home team loses.
European Handicap (0:3) meaning
A European Handicap (0:3) means the away team starts with a three-goal advantage. The home team must win by at least four goals for a bet on them to win. If they win by exactly three goals, the result is considered a draw. If the away team wins or the match ends in a draw, a bet on the home team loses.
European Handicap (0:4) meaning
A European Handicap (0:4) means the away team starts with a four-goal advantage. The home team must win by at least five goals for a bet on them to win. If they win by exactly four goals, the result is a draw. Any other result means a loss for a bet on the home team.
European Handicap (0:5) meaning
A European Handicap (0:5) means the away team starts with a five-goal advantage. The home team must win by at least six goals for a bet on them to win. If they win by exactly five goals, the result is considered a draw. If the away team wins or the match ends in a draw, a bet on the home team loses.
