Handicap bets were introduced to balance out matches where one team has a clear advantage against its rival, thus making betting pointless as the outcome is obvious before the game even starts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under a handicap bet, the winning team has to win while fulfilling certain conditions imposed by the bet. Only then will your wager qualify for a payout.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mechanism behind the handicap betting markets is considered advanced and therefore unsuitable for sports betting newbies. There is a wide range of handicap bets available in football but the most popular one is the goal difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at a practical example. If you bet that the favourite of the match Team A will win with a -1.5 goal difference, it means they need to have two goals or more over their rivals at the end of the game. If the difference in score is only one goal, your wager loses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that this goal difference can work with a variety of scores, like 2 – 0, 3 – 1, 4 – 1, and similar, that\u2019s why predicting the exact final score isn\u2019t your task.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under handicap betting, you can also bet on the losing team. Let\u2019s say, you want to bet that Team B will lose with a +2 goal difference. For your wager to win, they need to lose by only one goal (for example, 0 – 1, 2 – 3 or similar), otherwise your wager will lose too.<\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to predict the final score or the winner of the match, that\u2019s why this bet is considered low risk and recommended to those who are making their first steps in sports betting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you think that both teams have it in them to score against their opponent, place your wager on the \u201cyes\u201d option. Alternatively, if it seems like one or both of them won\u2019t be able to break through the opponent\u2019s defence and score, you can place your wager on the \u201cno\u201d option.<\/span><\/p>\n At 7bet, we currently offer the following both teams to score Aston Villa vs Bournemouth betting odds:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Yes<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n No<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 4\/6<\/span><\/td>\n 9\/8<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n  <\/p>\n Goal Total (Over\/Under) Odds<\/h3>\n Here you are trying to predict if the total amount of all goals in one match will exceed (be over) or fall short (be under) of a certain number specified by the bookmaker in the offer.<\/span><\/p>\n Here is how this bet works. Let\u2019s say, you placed a bet that the goal total between Team A and Team B will be over 2.5 goals. Now when you add all the goals scored by Team A to all the goals scored by Team B, you should get 3 or more goals (for example, 2 – 1, 0 – 3, or 2 – 2), so that your wager wins. But if the goal total is lower (let\u2019s say, 1 – 1, goal total 2), your wager will lose.<\/span><\/p>\n Keep in mind that neither the exact final score nor the winner of the match will have any bearing on the outcome of this bet.<\/span><\/p>\n At 7bet, we currently offer the following goal total Aston Villa vs Bournemouth odds:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Over 2.5<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n Under 2.5<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 4\/5<\/span><\/td>\n 20\/21<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n  <\/p>\n Correct Score Odds<\/h3>\n This is another advanced market that is considered high risk. You need to predict the exact final score, and since your options are virtually infinite, it\u2019s quite a task.<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, the principle of this bet is fairly simple. You have to give the score that will appear on the score board at the end of the game. You\u2019re also allowed to bet on a draw if you think this is what\u2019s going to happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At 7bet, we currently offer the following correct score Aston Villa vs Bournemouth odds for some of the most popular scorelines:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Aston Villa F.C.<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n Bournemouth F.C.<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n Odds<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 10\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 15\/2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 10\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 16\/3<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 2<\/span><\/td>\n 18\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 2<\/span><\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/td>\n 10\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 2<\/span><\/td>\n 10\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 2<\/span><\/td>\n 1<\/span><\/td>\n 8\/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.
