In betting, there are 2 types of handicaps - table tennis set handicaps and point handicaps.
Most singles tournaments are played until three-set victories. There can be from 3 to 5 sets in one match.
Game organizers accept bets on table tennis point handicaps for the entire game and each set. To win a set, a player must score 11 points. The minimum advantage over the opponent is 2 points - the game continues at 11:10 until one participant achieves a 2-point lead.
The sportsbook offers different numerical values in table tennis markets. The numbers 1 and 2 in the markets refer to the first or second tennis player. For example, a handicap 2 in table tennis means the second athlete wins the match.
The bookmaker offers negative table tennis handicaps for the game's favourite. A bet will be profitable for the user if the athlete overcomes the market number and wins.
For example, when betting on table tennis for the handicap of -2.5, the sportsbook client will profit if the athlete wins by at least 3 points.
If the victory is by a difference of 2 points or less, or if there is a loss, the user will lose the money bet.
A positive handicap suggests a conditional advantage for the athlete in a game or match. Positive handicaps for outsiders can be seen in the markets. If betting on the total number of points, the tennis player might ultimately lose, but the sportsbook client will profit if the deal shows a points victory considering the initial advantage.
For example, a set bet on a 3.5 handicap in table tennis will bring income to the sportsbook client if the tennis player wins or loses by a difference of 3 points or less.
If the athlete loses by 4 points or more, the bet will be lost.
Zero handicaps in table tennis are bets without insurance. In ping-pong, tie outcomes in individual games and the match as a whole are excluded.
In case of a tie, the client will receive the bet amount back into his account - the sportsbook will settle with a rate of 1.00.
