Handicap / Spread explained
A handicap (point spread) gives one side a virtual head start or deficit to level an uneven match.

How it works
The favourite is handicapped (e.g. −1.5 goals) and the underdog given a head start (+1.5). Your selection must cover the spread to win. Asian handicaps remove the draw by using half-points or splitting stakes.
Example
Lakers −5.5 at 1.90: the Lakers must win by 6+ for the bet to pay. A 10 USDT stake returns 19 USDT if they cover; if they win by 5 or fewer (or lose), it loses.
