2-way handicap meaning in football\n\n For example, if you place a 2-way handicap bet on a football 🔑 match between Manchester United and Liverpool, and the handicap is set at +1 for Manchester United, it means that Manchester 🔑 United will start the match with a one-goal advantage.

In Rugby the bookies will handicap the team they feel 🔑 is more likely to win, they do this by starting them on minus points, the other team then has a 🔑 plus handicap. The idea of this is to even out the chances of the 2 and in theory make betting 🔑 more even. A good example of this might be team A  5.
