The central idea
Quarter-goal handicaps split a stake equally across the adjacent whole and half lines, producing possible half wins and half losses.
−0.75 = half at −0.5 and half at −1.0
Worked example
A 100-unit stake at −0.75 is 50 units at −0.5 and 50 at −1.0. A one-goal win makes the first portion win and the second push, so the combined settlement is a half win.
Limits of the calculation
Settlement periods and abandoned-match rules vary. Enter the score for the period specified by the market and check the operator’s rules.
