In SportyBet, Handicap 0:2 (Away) means that the away team is given a two-goal advantage at the start of the match for betting purposes. This type of bet, known as an Asian Handicap, adjusts the starting score of the match to make the betting more balanced, especially if one team is a strong favorite.

How Handicap 0:2 Works:

• The away team starts with an advantage of +2 goals.
• For you to win the bet on the home team, the home team must win the match by at least 3 goals or more after applying the handicap.
• If the home team wins by exactly 2 goals, the result is a draw in betting terms, and you don’t win or lose (the stake is returned).
• If the home team wins by 1 goal, draws, or loses, the bet is lost.

Example Scenario:

• Match: Home Team vs. Away Team
• Bet Type: Handicap 0:2 (Away)

Outcomes:

1. Final Score: 3-0 (Home team wins)
   • Adjusted score after applying the handicap: 3-2 (Home win)
   • Result: You win the bet on the home team.
2. Final Score: 2-0 (Home team wins)
   • Adjusted score after applying the handicap: 2-2 (Draw)
   • Result: Your bet is a push, and your stake is returned.
3. Final Score: 1-0 (Home team wins)
   • Adjusted score after applying the handicap: 1-2 (Away win)
   • Result: You lose the bet on the home team.
4. Final Score: 0-1 (Away team wins)
   • Adjusted score after applying the handicap: 0-3 (Away win)
   • Result: You lose the bet.

Key Points:

• Handicap 0:2 (Away) makes it so the away team starts the game with a hypothetical two-goal lead.
• This type of bet is useful when one team is significantly stronger, and you want to create a more balanced betting scenario.
• It’s also a popular choice when you believe the stronger team can win by a significant margin.

Why Use Handicap Betting?

• Balanced Odds: Handicap betting evens out the odds between mismatched teams, offering better returns than standard 1X2 bets.
• Strategic Options: Great for bettors who want to leverage their knowledge of a team’s strength to predict larger winning margins.
