Handicap Away -10.25
The term “Handicap Away -10.25” signifies that the away team starts the game with a 10.25 goal deficit in sports betting, and this value is split into two parts for more precise betting.
The split handicap allows for more precise betting outcomes. In a traditional -10 handicap, a final score that is exactly 10 goals in favor of the home team would result in a push, and the bet would be refunded. In the case of -10.25, this situation is divided into two separate outcomes, providing a clearer distinction between winning and losing. If the away team loses by exactly 10 goals, you win half the bet, adding a level of granularity to your wager.
Let’s explore the potential outcomes and their implications for the bet. Bet size: $100. Odds: 1.95.
Win
- If the away team wins the match by 11 goals or more, both halves of your bet will win. You win the entire bet amount on both the -10 and -10.5 handicaps.
- Possible outcomes: 1:14, 7:22, 16:35, 10:28.
- Payout = $50 * 1.95 (odds for -10 goals) + $50 * 1.95 (odds for -10.5 goals) = $97.5 + $97.5 = $195.
Half Lose
- If the away team wins by exactly 10 goals, the half of your bet placed on the -10.5 handicap will be lost, and the other half on the -10 handicap will be refunded (a push).
- Possible outcomes: 3:13, 0:10, 27:37.
- Payout = $50 * 1 (odds for -10 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for -10.5 goals) = $50.
Lose
- If the away team loses by less than 9 goals, both halves of your bet will lose.
- Possible outcomes: 4:10, 15:23, 8:3.
- Payout = $50 * 0 (odds for -10 goals) + $50 * 0 (odds for -10.5 goals) = $0.
