⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

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

Every selection Pythia rates above 70%, ordered by probability. Use Min odds to match the prices you want: slide down for near-certainties at short prices, up for longer prices. 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.
