A handicap in hockey betting at 1xBet is a way to add or subtract goals from one of the teams in a match to level the odds of winning a bet. A handicap can be positive (+) or negative (-) depending on which team is considered the favorite and which goals are added or taken away from it.
For example, if team A is considered the favorite in a match between teams A and B, it can be added a negative handicap (-1.5). This means that team A must win by a significant margin of two or more goals in order for the bet on team A with handicap (-1.5) to win.
On the other hand, if team B is considered to be the underdog, it can be added a positive handicap (+1.5). This means that team B can lose the match, but if the loss is by no more than one goal, the bet on team B with a handicap (+1.5) will win.
Handicap can be used to increase winnings if you are confident of winning the team with the handicap, or to reduce the risk if you think that the team without handicap can lose, but not by more than a certain number of goals.
Hockey handicap betting markets at 1xBet
There are several hockey handicap betting markets at 1xBet:
- Handicap (including overtime): In this market you have to choose the team which will win the match including the handicap. The handicap can be positive or negative. If the team wins the match including the handicap, the bet is considered to win.
