⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

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