How does season handicap betting work?
Handicap league betting spans the whole season of competition. The team judged to be the favourite to win the league starts with a handicap of 0 or Scratch (SCR). Every other team in the league is given virtual head starts over them with an equivalent handicap points score (+4, +7, +10, +14 etc.). The weaker the team is deemed, the greater handicap they receive.
At the end of the season, all the teams' handicap scores are added to their actual points total. The team with the most points is then deemed the winner of the market. Each-way places are then determined by the teams finishing 2nd, 3rd etc. Dead heat rules will apply if more than one team ties for a place.
