Punters are usually advised to take up handicap betting only after they gain enough experience. The mechanism behind this type of bets is more complicated and requires advanced knowledge of sports to make responsible decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Handicap bets were introduced to balance out matches where one team has an obvious advantage against the other, making the outcome of the match so predictable that betting loses its point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conditions that a handicap bet imposes on the match levels the disparity. These conditions have to be fulfilled for your bet to win. In other words, it\u2019s not only about who wins but how exactly they do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most bookmaking platforms offer various handicap bets for football, but the goal difference is the most popular one. Here you\u2019re trying to predict by how many goals the favourite team will win the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, you bet that Team A wins with a -1.5 goal difference. If your wager is to collect a payout, it\u2019s not enough for Team A to win, they need to have at least two goals more than Team B. If the difference is higher (i.e. three, four goals or more), it works in your favour. But if the difference is lower than two goals, your wager loses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that predicting the exact final score isn\u2019t your task. The difference described above can come in the form of 2 – 0, 3 – 1, 4 – 1 or any other similar score.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also bet on the underdog. In that case, you\u2019re trying to predict by how many goals they\u2019ll lose the game. For example, if you bet that Team B will lose with a goal difference of +2, it means they can only have one goal less than Team A by the end of the match, otherwise you will lose your wager.<\/span><\/p>\n

As it\u2019s not directly tied to the outcome of the match, this bet offers lower risks and as such is recommended for beginner bettors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another thing that works in your favour here is that you don\u2019t have to guess the exact final score or even who will win the match. Your betting options are \u201cyes\u201d (if you think both teams will score at least once) and \u201cno\u201d (if you think either one of them or both will leave the opponent\u2019s goal empty).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At 7bet, we currently offer the following both teams to score Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund betting odds:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Yes<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n No<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 8\/13<\/span><\/td>\n 11\/9<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n  <\/p>\n Goal Total (Over\/Under) Odds<\/h3>\n The goal total bet also falls into the low risk category because it\u2019s not aimed at predicting the match outcome. All you have to do is guess whether the sum of all goals scored in the game will be higher (over) or lower (under) than a specific number provided by the bookmaker in the offer.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s say, you bet that the match goal total will be over 2.5. For your wager to win, you need to add up goals scored by both teams and the resulting number should be 3 or more. This will work if the final score is, for example, 2 – 1, 0 – 3, 2 – 2. If the goal total is lower (for example, 0 – 2, goal total 2), you will lose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But remember that the actual score or the winner won\u2019t affect your wager.<\/span><\/p>\n At 7bet, we currently offer the following goal total Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund odds:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Over 3.5<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n Under 3.5<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 21\/20<\/span><\/td>\n 9\/13<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n  <\/p>\n Correct Score Odds<\/h3>\n This is another advanced betting market that implies higher risks. Your task is to predict the exact final score. Theoretically, it can be anything, hence the high risk.<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, understanding this bet isn\u2019t difficult at all. All you have to do is name the score\u00a0 at the end of the game. It can even be a draw, if you think this is the most likely outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n At 7bet, we currently offer the following correct score Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund odds for some of the most popular scorelines:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Man City F.C.<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n Borussia Dortmund F.C.<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n Odds<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 25\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 9\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 25\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 9\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 2<\/span><\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 15\/2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 2<\/span><\/td>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 15\/2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 3<\/span><\/td>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 9\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Please note that the odds are accurate as per the publishing time of the article.
