What is Handicap Betting?
Handicap, or handicap odds, is a popular type of bet offered by bookmakers to create a balance between the favorite team and the underdog team. The higher the handicap odds, the greater the difference in strength between the two teams, and vice versa. Besides point handicaps, there is also a type of handicap called Asian handicap (odds that involve payout ratios).

Level handicap, or 0 handicap, is a common type of bet in football. There is no difference between the two teams, and either team can win. Level handicap is easy to understand but difficult to evaluate and make decisions on.

Tips for Choosing Handicap Bets
Based on previous players' bets, bookmaker has derived some useful tips to help you increase your chances of winning. You can use individual tips or combine multiple handicap betting tips at the same time:
If the favorite team has a handicap of ½ to 1, choose the underdog team because a small handicap indicates a not significant difference in skill and strength between the two teams.
If both teams have equal form, choose the underdog team and play the level handicap.
Choose the underdog team when you see the handicap odds decrease from 1 to 0.76, while the pre-match odds increase significantly.
If the handicap odds and payout ratios both decrease or both increase, choose the remaining team.
If you notice a decrease in potential winnings but the odds increase, follow the remaining team.
The underdog team should be the priority choice if you see them scoring.
In a situation where the Asian handicap tends towards a draw but the Asian odds increase by ¼, choose the favorite team.
If the Asian handicap decreases while the European odds remain stable, it is advisable to follow the underdog team.
If the handicap is ¼ and the Asian handicap is ½, corresponding to the European odds, the underdog team is the number one choice.
