When betting with a handicap, an advantage or disadvantage is applied to a team within the regular time (only). To win your handicap bet, the final score of the selected team must be higher than the one of the other team. As there are 3 options, in this market, there is no return of the bet value. A refund only takes place if the game is abandoned before the regular time.
Example:
In this example, we are giving Ecuador an initial advantage of 2 goals.
Betting on Colombia: Colombia would need to win by 3 or more goals (3-0; 4-1; 5-2) for the bet to be a winner. If Colombia won by less than 3 goals, drew, or lost the match, the bet would be a loser.
Betting on a Draw: To win the bet, Colombia would need to win by 2 goals (2-0; 3-1; 4-2), as with Ecuador's 2-goal advantage, this would result in a draw. For any other result that is not a 2-goal advantage for Colombia, the bet would be a loser.
Betting on Ecuador: The bet would be a winner if Ecuador won, drew, or even lost by 1 goal. With the 2-goal advantage, they would always stay ahead. If Ecuador lost by 2 or more goals, the bet would be a loser.
