“Handicap” is an advantage or disadvantage of the competition participant expressed by goals/points /aces/sets. Handicap is offered by the organizer and can be Over, Under or Zero. Here’s an example: Let’s suppose you have made a bet “Handicap 1(2)”, If the game ends in a draw (1-1), after adding the number of Handicap, the score will be 3:1, and your bet will win. If the game ends 0:3, after adding the number of Handicap, the score will be 2:3 and your bet will lose. If the game ends 0:2, after adding the number of Handicap, the score will be 2-2. In this case the bet will be calculated with 1 coefficient.
