When placing a punt on handicaps, one bets on the outcome either with a virtual advantage in goals, points, etc (positive) — or with a virtual disadvantage (negative). There are two types of handicaps on Bet9ja: European handicap and Asian handicap. The first one lets you bet on a draw but doesn’t offer a possibility of a stake being voided. The second one excludes a draw as a possible result and offers a return of the bet in case there is a draw after application of the chosen handicap. Example: an Asian handicap (-1.5) on Team A in a football match. For this bet to win, the team in question must triumph with an advantage of two goals or more (2>1.5).
