Ever seen odd signs like -1.5 or +2.0 next to a team on SwertePlus and got lost? You've just met handicap betting.
It feels a bit like sports betting with a twist (and yes, it is). But when you know how to use it, it can lead to
smart bets and big wins.
Let's dig into it so you can start using this neat trick, sure and strong.
What's handicap betting, you ask?
In simple terms, handicap betting is the sportsbook’s way of leveling the playing field between two teams.
It gives a “virtual advantage” or “disadvantage” to a team before the match even starts.
Take this case:
● If Team A is way ahead of the other teams, they might start with a -1.5 point spread. This
shows that you can only win your bet if the team you picked wins by 2 or more points.
● The team that might not win, Team B, starts with an extra +1 point. 5 point spread. This
means they can lose by 1 point, tie the game, or even win, and you would still win your bet.
Why bet with a handicap on SwertePlus?
Betting on SwertePlus can aid you, mainly when:
● One team is way better than the other, and a plain win/lose bet won't give you a fair shot at winning.
● Or, when you want to back the less likely team but want a backup plan.
● You're confident in a blowout win and want to increase your payout.
The best part? SwertePlus makes handicap markets easy to find and understand, whether you're betting on basketball,
football, or even eSports.
