A game that requires a bit more thought than standard betting
Say there's an ODI between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. In the standard match winner market, Bangladesh's odds might be just 1.20 or 1.30 — meaning even a win returns very little. But in the handicap market, Bangladesh may be given a –20 run handicap, meaning they don't just have to win — they have to win by more than 20 runs — and that pushes the odds up to 1.90+. That's the core idea behind handicap betting.
Simply put, handicap betting is a market where an artificial advantage or disadvantage is applied to one of the two teams — making both sides roughly equally attractive to bet on. It's a firm favourite among bettors because it lets you back even a dominant favorite at decent odds.
