Bets on a positive handicap are made in favour of the outsider. The strategy should be applied to confrontations that simultaneously satisfy all conditions:

• the odds on the market are not lower than 1.30;
• in the last 5 head-to-head meetings, the outsider won at least 1 time;
• the score difference between the opponents exceeded 1 goal no more than one time in the last five meetings;
• the outsider plays at the home stadium.

Understanding the calculation principles for positive and negative handicap indicators should be done individually.
