HANDICAP BETTING
Non-handicap Bet [0:0, Draw No Bet]
The odds [0:0] means betting based on the actual result of the match, without adding any odds. This is a common type of bet in Europe where all football matches are considered [0:0], only differing in the payout odds.
When a stronger team wins against another, the payout will be less, sometimes very minimal, and conversely, non-handicap bets like [0:0] are usually for teams evenly matched in skill and strength.
Asian Handicap 1/4 (0.25)
The upper team gives a half loss to the lower team, if you bet on the upper team and they win, you win; if it's a draw, you lose half the stake; if they lose, you lose the entire stake. Conversely, if you bet on the lower team, the outcomes are reversed.
For this betting odds:
Germany wins, if you choose Germany, you win all; if you choose France, you lose all.
Draw, if you choose Germany, you lose half; if you choose France, you win half.
Germany loses, if you choose Germany, you lose all; if you choose France, you win all.
Asian Handicap 1/2 (0.5)
The upper team gives a draw, and the lower team wins.
The calculation of odds for this bet is as follows:
Germany wins, if you choose Germany, you win all; if you choose France, you lose all.
Germany draws or loses, if you choose Germany, you lose all; if you choose France, you win all.
Similarly for other types of odds like 1.5, 2.5, 3.5; etc.
If Germany wins by a margin of n+1 goals or more, choose Germany, you win all; if they win by less than or equal to n goals, draw, or lose, choose Germany, you lose all; choose France, you win all.
Asian Handicap 3/4 (0.75)
The upper team gives half loss if they win by only 1 goal; if they win by a margin of 2 goals or more, you win all.
The calculation for this odds is a bit more complex:
If Germany wins by a margin of 1 goal (1 - 0; 2 - 1; 3 - 2; ...), choose Germany, you win half; choose France, you lose half.
If Germany wins by a margin of 2 goals or more, choose Germany, you win all; choose France, you lose all.
If Germany draws or loses, choose France, you win all; otherwise, choose Germany, you lose all.
Similarly for odds like (1.5 - 2), (2.5 - 3), (3.5 - 4), etc.
If Germany wins by a margin of (n+1) goals or more, choose Germany, you win half; choose France, you lose half.
If Germany wins by a margin of n goals or less, or draws, or loses, choose France, you win all; choose Germany, you lose all.
If Germany wins by a margin of n goals, choose Germany, you lose half; choose France, you win half.
