A quarter handicap divides the stake equally between the neighbouring whole and half lines. A -0.25 selection is half the stake at 0 and half at -0.5. A -0.75 selection is half at -0.5 and half at -1.0.
| Line | Match result | Settlement |
|---|---|---|
| -0.25 | Draw | Half loss: the 0 part pushes and the -0.5 part loses |
| +0.25 | Draw | Half win: the 0 part pushes and the +0.5 part wins |
| -0.75 | Wins by one | Half win: -0.5 wins and -1.0 pushes |
| +0.75 | Loses by one | Half loss: +0.5 loses and +1.0 pushes |
| 0 | Draw | Push: the stake is returned |
Whole and half lines
A whole-number handicap can push when the adjusted scores finish level. A half line cannot push because match scores are whole numbers. The calculator settles the selected team only and uses the final score exactly as entered.
Use the odds converter before settlement if the accepted price is fractional. Always check whether the relevant operator market uses regulation time or includes extra time.
