When it comes to handicap betting in soccer, the team that is likely to win based on the odds is usually awarded the goal or referred to as the "favourite." As such, favourites usually start with a handicap of -3,-2,-1, and many more. On the other hand, three-way betting allows gamblers and bettors to place bets on handicap ties. Thus, bettors will need to select the handicap tie they would prefer to consider for handicap.
