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.
