Handicap Home +18

Handicap Home +18 means a wager on a Home team not to lose by more than 18 points. The given betting variation is applied to underdogs because it adds a particular number of points to their score even before an event begins. Thus, the task of punters is to predict whether the team will manage to preserve this advantage rather than to guess which side will win. That is why the given kind of betting implies higher odds, which is attractive for numerous gamblers. However, it is necessary to remember that higher odds result in a decreased winning probability, which requires gamblers to draw more attention to betting research.

Examples:

Win. A Home team wins, draws, or loses by 17 and fewer points: 91:89, 48:48, 82:99.

Push. A Home side is beaten by 18 points exactly: 85:103, 77:95, 83:101.

Loss. The difference between the winner and the loser is more than 18 points in favor of an Away team: 81:100, 70:91, 84:108.
