What Does a 1.75 Handicap Mean in Football?
Asian handicap 1.75 in football gives a team a lag or advantage of 1.75 goals at the start.
When choosing a handicap, players bet on 2 neighbouring markets – H1.5 and H2; the sportsbook calculates each bet separately.
The main difference of the market from the classic whole and fractional handicap in football is the possibility of a double outcome:
- winning half of the bet and returning the other part;
- losing part of the bet and returning the second half.
Novices ignore the market because they don't understand what handicap 1.75 in football means when to bet on the outcome and what strategies to use; they don't know the advantages and disadvantages of the market.
When should you place a bet on a handicap of 1.75 in football?
Asian handicap (-1.75) - bet on the favorite, consists of markets:
- H(-1.5) - for the victory of a strong team with a difference of 2 goals or more;
- H(-2) - for the leader's victory by a margin of 3 goals or more.
In case of a team's victory with a difference of 2 goals, the sportsbook will return part of the bet to the user's balance.
