⚖️ 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 St. Andrews 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.
