3-Way Handicap | Full Time (2) (Away -1)
(2) Away -1 means the away team starts the match with a -1 goal handicap.
This market has three possible outcomes:
- Home Win (after handicap)
- Draw (after handicap)
- Away Win (after handicap) ← your selection
Because you selected Away -1, the away team must win by at least 2 goals for the bet to win.
How It Works
Before the match result is settled, 1 goal is subtracted from the away team.
Adjusted score formula:
Away Team Goals – 1
Then the result is recalculated.
Example 1
Match: Chelsea vs Arsenal
Your Bet: Away -1 (Arsenal -1)
Actual Result:
Chelsea 0 – 2 Arsenal
After handicap:
Chelsea 0 – 1 Arsenal
Bet Wins because Arsenal still wins after the handicap.
Example 2
Match: Chelsea vs Arsenal
Your Bet: Away -1
Actual Result:
Chelsea 1 – 2 Arsenal
After handicap:
Chelsea 1 – 1 Arsenal
Bet Loses because the adjusted result becomes a draw.
Example 3
Match: Chelsea vs Arsenal
Your Bet: Away -1
Actual Result:
Chelsea 0 – 1 Arsenal
After handicap:
Chelsea 0 – 0 Arsenal
Bet Loses

Betting Tips for 3-Way Handicap (Away -1)
Use It When There Is a Strong Favourite
Pick matches where the away team is much stronger than the home team.
Example situations:
- Title contenders vs relegation teams
- Top teams vs newly promoted teams
Check Goal Difference Statistics
Teams that frequently win by 2+ goals are ideal.
Look for teams averaging:
- 2+ goals per match
- Strong attacking records
Avoid Defensive Teams
Even strong teams that win 1-0 often are risky for this bet.
Example risk teams:
- Defensive teams that play low-scoring games.
Check Away Form
Since this is Away -1, ensure the team performs well away from home.
Look for:
- Good away winning streaks
- High away goal averages
Combine With Strong Leagues
This market works well in leagues where big teams dominate weaker ones.
Examples:
- English leagues
- German leagues
- Dutch leagues
Pro Tip:
If you think the away team will win but maybe by just one goal, choose Asian Handicap -1 instead. That option can refund your stake if they win by exactly one goal.
