What is a European handicap?

The European handicap is more simple than the Asian handicap. It involves betting on the outcome of a match with a fictitious score other than 0-0.

Example: Standard de Liège (1) - Draw (X) - KAA Gent (2)

You bet on Standard winner - European handicap (0:1). This means that the match starts with a fictitious score of 0-1 for KAA Gent.

  • Is Standard win by two goals difference, you win your bet.
  • If Standard win by 1 goal difference, your bet is fully losing.
  • If Standard draw or lose the match, you also lose your bet.

Therefore, there is no possibility for reimbursement when you bet on a European handicap, unlike an Asian handicap.
