If you're new to sports betting, two common bet types are handicap and over/under. Let's break them down from a beginner's perspective.
Handicap betting levels the playing field by giving one team a virtual head start or deficit. For example, if Team A is favored, they might have a -1.5 goal handicap. This means they must win by 2 goals for your bet to win. If you bet on Team B with a +1.5 handicap, they can lose by 1 goal and you still win. Handicap bets are about which team performs better relative to the spread.
Over/under betting focuses on the total score of the game, not the winner. You bet on whether the combined score will be over or under a set number. For instance, if the over/under line is 2.5 goals, you bet on whether there will be 3 or more goals (over) or 2 or fewer (under). It's perfect if you don't want to pick a winner but have a feel for the game's pace.
In short, handicap is about margin of victory, while over/under is about total points. Both are popular at PHL168, so try them out with small bets to get comfortable.
