What Does Home -11 Mean?
- The home team starts the game with –11 points
- The final score is adjusted by subtracting 11 points from the home team
- After adjustment, the result is settled as:
- 1 (Home wins)
- X (Draw)
- 2 (Away wins)
Overtime does NOT count — only the 4 quarters (regular time).
How Settlement Works (Examples)
Example 1: Home Wins the Bet
Final Score (Regular Time):
- Home 92 – Away 78
Apply Handicap:
- Home: 92 − 11 = 81
- Away: 78
Result: Home 81 – Away 78
1 (Home wins) → Bet WON
Home must win by 12 points or more to win the bet.
Example 2: Draw After Handicap
Final Score:
- Home 91 – Away 80
Apply Handicap:
- Home: 91 − 11 = 80
- Away: 80
Result: 80 – 80
X (Draw) → Bet WON if you selected Draw
Example 3: Away Wins the Bet
Final Score:
- Home 89 – Away 80
Apply Handicap:
- Home: 89 − 11 = 78
- Away: 80
Result: Away wins
2 (Away) → Bet WON
Even though the home team won the match, they did not cover the –11 handicap.
Key Rules to Remember
- Three outcomes: Home (1) | Draw (X) | Away (2)
- Home -11 must win by 12+ points for a Home win
- Exactly 11-point win = Draw
- Regular time only (overtime ignored)
- Higher odds than Asian Handicap because of the draw option
