As already mentioned, the concept of "handicaps" fairly-valued, is used in various spheres of human life. However, the most active, the word used in sport and refers to the granting to the weaker party an advantage at the start or in the course of competition.
For example, in the old days, when horse racing was wildly popular, slower horses are often exposed to 150-200 meters ahead to somewhat equalize opportunities horses. What is the distance between the runners and called a handicap.

And now for the sports games.
In this sport discipline, Golf handicap is a numerical expression of the skill level of the athlete. Here is quite a flexible qualification system that gives you the opportunity to compete with participants of different levels, for example, in one tournament can act as a novice player or a world champion. The beginner may win due to the advantage.
The Number would have scored goals against the stronger teams — that's what the handicap in football. Typically, a handicap is determined in advance, but announced it before the game and after. Hidden until the end of the match the advantage of spurring the interest of fans to the game unequal at the team level.
Bets on sports events and matches in different sports are accepted as a normal and online bookmakers. Handicap bets are put up for the majority of sports disciplines: it is usually hockey, volleyball, basketball, football and other summer and winter sports. Bookies use both Asian and European handicaps.
Now let's analyze in detail what the handicap betting. This is a bet (money) on any sporting event or match in which one of the participants comes into play, with a conditional start. The advantage depending on the sport, can be expressed in points, points, minutes, or goals. The rate can be positive – if you put on the leader and negative - for the outsider.
In addition, the handicaps are divided into Asian and European.
European handicap (EH) offers three possible outcomes of the event – win, draw, loss, and uses only integer values to define the advantages, for example, 0:3 or 0:1.
In that case, if the final score is exactly at odds, then it's a draw. For example, if you bet on European handicapany team (-1), then for all practical purposes, the handicap bet of -1.5 in, as in the case of the team winning by one goal will be the winning bet on a tie.
A Relatively new form of betting on football matches, teams is Asian handicap. He has only two probable outcomes loss or win, and no concept of “draw”. A certain handicap given to one team and added to the final score. In that case, if the team on which the bet was made wins taken advantage of, the winner and the one who put.
A Brief look at the basic types of Asian handicaps:
You Can put on the winning team, with a handicap of +1, adding to the final invoice for the selected team one goal. If given the ball, she wins – your money. In that case, if taken advantage of 1 goal in the match was “draw” - just return the money. In all other scenarios, the bet is a loser. For example, you bet on the victory of the “Volga” with a handicap of +1 against the «Zenith». If “Volga” will be the winner or draw-bet will win. If the team loses by 1 goal, then the money is simply returned. Stavka is lost if “Zenith” will score 2 or more goals.
Thus, to calculate the Asian handicap is quite simple: the final result plus the selected advantage. If the team won-the bet wins, a draw the money is returned, the losing team – the loss of money.
