⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

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

Unpriced picks are ranked on the model's fair odds. Edge defaults to Yes, showing only selections priced BELOW what the model makes them; switch to All to include the rest, and picks we hold no price for. The five columns are the best market prices (highest first) for each pick; edge is vs the average.
