A safer version of a 3-way handicap, the 2-way handicap is one favorite for many professional bettors when they’re putting their money on football. The 2-way handicap eliminates a draw as an option, and there are only two possible outcomes for this bet. If you have a -1.0 handicap on a favorite, a two-goal or a bigger win for your team means profit, a one-goal win returns your money, while a draw or a loss means that the bet is a losing one.
