Basic Bet Types
Winning Handicap
A sole winner is a bet on any of the three possible outcomes (win, lose or draw) in a single event.
Win/Loss Handicap
A win/loss handicap is a bet that one participant/team will beat the other participant/team in the event or finish higher in the pairings.
Handicap
A handicap is a bet placed on one of the participants/teams on the basis of an assumed handicap (which the participant/team was ahead by prior to the start of the event). After the handicap is added to the actual match result, the winner is the participant/team with the higher score.
Over/Under
A handicap is a bet where the outcome is determined by the total number of points (goals scored, points scored, etc.) in the final outcome of an event. If the total score is higher than the pre-determined total, the winner is the “over” bet; if the total score is lower than the pre-determined total, the winner is the “under” bet.
Single and Double Handicap
A single or double handicap is a bet where the outcome of the bet is determined by whether the total number of points in the final outcome of an event is an odd or even number.
Single Teams
A single-team odd/even bet is a bet that predicts whether the final result of a particular team in a tournament will be an odd or even number.
Half Time/Full Time Single/Double
A half-time/full-time handicap is a bet that predicts whether the half-time result and full-time result of an event will be a single, single, double or double handicap.
Winner
A winner bet is a bet on the winner of a tournament.
Mixed Handicap
A mixed pass is a combination of bets on at least two selections in a single bet. If all selections win, the bettor receives a parlay of the combined odds of all selections. If one (or more) of the selections does not win, the pass bet loses. The final payout for a mixed parlay is the product of the odds for each selection.
