⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

The handicap is applied to Bangor, so a minus line means Bangor give that many goals of a start and Dungannon Swifts receive them. At -1, Bangor must win by two or more to land; a one-goal Bangor win settles as Draw. There is no returned stake - the middle case is its own selection. Taken from the same scoreline distribution as correct score.
