With a 3-way handicap in soccer betting, this bet is mostly used to level the playing field when a strong favorite meets an underdog. Betting on your favorite with a handicap in soccer means that the match starts with a hypothetical goal down. So, for your bet to be successful, the favorite needs to win by at least two-goal difference. You can also bet the opposite way round, giving an advantage of one or more goals to the underdog, betting that they won’t lose by a bigger margin. Finally, you can bet X here too, so the favorite will win exactly by the number of goals offered in a handicap.
