This handicap ratio is not fixed, it changes depending on the match situation (0.5. 0.25, 0.751.5, 1.5….).
Because of this nature, to participate in this bet, players need to be able to evaluate the strength between the two teams. At the same time, understand the rules, how to read the odds, analyze and predict all factors related to the match.
