This market is similar to the 3 Options Handicap, with two important differences:
- It is a market of 2 options (it does not have the hypothesis of a "tie") therefore there is the possibility of having a return of the bet value.
-Handicaps x.25 and x.75 are present, with the possibility of bets settled as half lost and half won.
Examples:
Betting - Brazil (-1)
Final Result: Brazil 1 - 0 Argentina
For betting purposes, the result was 0-0 as we chose the negative handicap (-)1 to Brazil in which we bet. As it is a market of only two options and the result was a tie, the bet amount is totally returned to the player in case of being a single bet. If it is a multi-bet, this sopecific selection will have a nulll odd of 1.00 and the bet proceeds with the other selections.
Betting - Brazil (-0.5)
Final Result: Brazil 1 - 0 Argentina
For betting purposes, the result was 0.5 - 0 in favor of Brazil, so the bet would be won with this result. The bet would always be considered as won since Brazil won the game. If there was a tie or Argentina won, the bet would be lost.
Betting - Brazil (-1.25)
Final Result: Brazil 1 - 0 Argentina
For betting purposes, the result was (-)0.25 - 0 [disadvantage of Brazil by 0.25], as it was bet that Brazil would win the game with a handicap (-)1.25 this would be resolved as half lost and half the bet amount would be refunded. To win the bet, Brazil would have to win by 2 goals (i.e.: 2-0, 3-1, 4-2).
Betting - Brazil (-0.75)
Final Result: Brazil 1 - 0 Argentina
For betting purposes, the result was (+)0.25 - 0 [Brazil advantage by 0.25], this bet would be resolved as half won, so the initial odd of that selection would be halved and the winnings would be calculated with this odd (in this example, as the initial odd is 2.04, to calculate the gains it would become 1.52). To fully win the bet, Brazil would have to win by 2 goals or more.
Note: The same logic applies to all markets ending in .25 and .75.
