⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

The handicap is applied to Birzebbuga, so a minus line means Birzebbuga give that many goals of a start and Valletta FC receive them. At -1, Birzebbuga must win by two or more to land; a one-goal Birzebbuga 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.
