⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

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