What does Handicap mean in sports betting?

A handicap bet gives one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage to make the matchup more balanced — especially when one team is a clear favorite.

Example:
A handicap (0:1) for the home team means they start the match with a virtual one-goal deficit.
To win your bet, the home team must win the match by at least two goals.

➡️ Handicap bets are ideal when you want to back a favorite at higher odds.

? Note: Unless otherwise stated, the bet applies only to regular time (90 minutes plus stoppage time).
