"1. Division Based on Ranking and Points:
Typically divided into:
1-4: Upper tier
4-9: Upper-middle tier
9-15: Lower-middle tier
16-22: Lower tier
2. Relationship Between Ranking and Handicap:
If the home team is ranked within the bottom 4 compared to the away team, you can give a half-ball handicap. If it's within 4-6 positions, you can give a level half-ball handicap. If it's within 6-12 positions, you can give a level handicap. If the home team is ranked within the top 4 compared to the away team, you can give a half-ball handicap. If it's within 4-8 positions, you can give a half/one-ball handicap. If it's within 8-12 positions, you can give a one-ball handicap. When the home team has a lower ranking and a normal strength handicap is given, it generally offers medium to high odds. When the home team has a higher ranking and a normal strength handicap is given, it generally offers low to medium odds.
3. Home and Away Handicap Relationship:
When playing away, the strength handicap decreases by two levels. For example, if Chelsea gives a handicap of one ball/one and a half balls at home, playing away would reduce it to a handicap of half ball/one ball. For example, if Florentina gives a handicap of half/one ball at home against Ascoli, playing away would reduce it to a handicap of level/half.
4. Relationship with the Handicap of the Last Round:
When both teams' strengths have not changed significantly and considering the handicap from the most recent encounter between the two teams compared to the current round's handicap is important. For example, if Liverpool vs. Everton had a handicap of one ball/one and a half balls two months ago, but in the current round, the handicap is only half ball/one ball, then Liverpool's handicap has clearly been set lower.
Analyzing the reasonableness of the handicap based on the team's strength can provide an objective reflection of the handicap relationship between the two teams. However, the disadvantage of this method is that relying solely on team information to analyze the reasonableness of the handicap can be misleading as it may overlook various external factors and the additional information that bookmakers possess. It's important to consider both team strength and bookmaker factors when analyzing handicap reasonableness." |
