⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

The handicap is applied to Queen's University, so a minus line means Queen's University give that many goals of a start and Strabane Athletic receive them. At -1, Queen's University must win by two or more to land; a one-goal Queen's University 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.
