Understanding football betting terms can be challenging for newcomers. The “-1” in football betting is a common term, representing a handicap. This means one team starts with a virtual disadvantage of one goal. Here’s how it works:
- If you bet on a team with a -1 handicap, they need to win by more than one goal for your bet to succeed.
- If they win by exactly one goal, the result is a push, and your stake is refunded.
- If they draw or lose, your bet loses.
This strategy adds complexity and can increase potential returns. Understanding how handicaps work can provide an edge in your betting strategy.
