European Handicap/1X2

The explanation for the European handicap 1X2 is very simple and has the highest odds, which is why many players love it. Players in the European handicap only care about which team wins, loses, or draws. The number of goals does not matter. The 1X2 name originates from here.

• 1 = Bet on the home team to win.
• X = Bet on a draw.
• 2 = Bet on the away team to win.

Over/Under - Total Goals

In Over/Under betting, you don't need to know which team wins or loses. You only focus on the total number of goals scored during the match. Players will bet whether the total goals will be higher (Over) or lower (Under) than a specific betting threshold.
