Overview of specific markets
Game betting:
This is the final result of an individual match. Three results are possible: Win/draw/lose.
Match betting:
This bet is the result of the sum of the results of several games. Winning each game counts as 1 point, the draw is worth 0.5 points and losing is worth no points.
Handicap game betting:
The winner of this bet will be the player with more points after the addition of the handicap to one side (and only one side).
Example: Player A -0.5 -v- Player B +0.5
Player A wins the handicap if he wins. Player B wins the handicap if he wins or draws.
Handicap match betting:
Same as handicap game betting , but applies in a match.
