In badminton sports betting, the handicap (+4.5) means that 4.5 points are added to the selected player’s or team’s final score for the purpose of the bet.
How It Works:
Let’s say you bet on Player A (+4.5) in a match against Player B.
- This means Player A starts with a +4.5 point advantage.
- At the end of the match, you add 4.5 points to Player A’s actual total score.
- If Player A’s adjusted score is higher than Player B’s, your bet wins.
- If not, your bet loses.
Example:
- Final Score:
Player A: 18
Player B: 21 - With Handicap (+4.5):
Player A: 18 + 4.5 = 22.5
Player B: 21
Your bet on Player A (+4.5) wins.
This type of bet is useful when you think the underdog can keep the match close, even if they don’t win outright.
