In soccer as is an all competitive sports there is normally a difference in perceived quality of the opposing teams; the size of that difference varies depending on a complex range of influences ranging from historical dominance and financial backing to situational factors such as home field advantage or player injuries/availability.

Handicap betting explained
Team Handicap In Golf
Where the perceived difference in abilities is significant the betting odds on the favourite will be so small that it provides minimal returns and therefore little incentive for bettors.
A numerical figure set by the bookmaker to counter the perceived bias in abilities of opponents - this provides more balanced odds.
To counter the perceived bias in abilities, and to provide more balanced and appealing odds, bookmakers offer what is known as handicap betting. In the context of soccer, the Handicap odds level the playing-field by accounting for difference in perceived strength of the participants by literally applying a goal handicap - positive and negative - to each side. This gives bettors the opportunity to find more value than when backing a heavy Favourite in traditional 1X2 bet - the most common way to bet on soccer.
The handicap is applied to the actual outcome of the game in order to grade (result) the bet. There are three types of Handicap bets you need to be aware of before betting:
Level Handicap
A level Handicap is where there is no perceived difference in abilities between Team X and Team Y, so no Handicap bias is assigned and both teams start with 0 goals.
To win a bet, the bettor must identify the team which they think will score more goals than their opponent. This type of handicap isn't relevant for one-sided encounters but is useful in that it eliminates the draw; if the game ends in a tie all bets are refunded because on a zero handicap neither team has any advantage.
Single Handicap
A single Handicap occurs when there is a perceived difference in abilities between Team X and Team Y.
The alleged superior team will be given an appropriate goal handicap to level the playing field for betting purposes i.e. -0.5 goal, -1 goal, -1.5 goals etc.
For example, if you bet on Team X with a handicap of -1 goal, they must win by more than one goal to cover their handicap and win you your bet.
If they only win by one goal, the result with the handicap applied is a draw for betting purposes, so your bet is refunded. If Team Y draw or win, you will lose your bet on Team X.
Split Handicap
A split Handicap occurs when the difference between the two teams' abilities is small; allowing you to spilt your stake over two handicaps.
A split Handicap occurs when the difference between the two teams' abilities is small; allowing you to spilt your stake over two handicaps.
For example, Team X might be offered at (0 & -0.5). If you bet on Team X and they lose, you will lose both bets, as they did not cover either handicap.
If the match ends in a draw, half of your stake at (0) will be refunded, and the other half at (-0.5) will lose. If Team X wins however, both handicaps will be covered, so both bets win.
If you're stuck in the past slavishly following three-way fixed odds betting, the chances are you're not getting a decent return on your investment, and your betting might benefit from the fresh perspective that soccer handicap betting provides.

It's all change under the new World Handicap System. Here's what your handicap allowances will be for each format of the game
Loathed by lower handicappers, it's blamed by many as putting players off entering betterball competitions. But the controversial 90 per cent allowance, which has split opinion since its introduction by CONGU at the start of 2016, is changing. Fourball strokeplay and Stableford competitions will now receive 85 per cent allowance when the World Handicap System comes into effect later this year.
Those hoping for further relief in matchplay, though, are set to be disappointed. Under WHS, fourball matchplay allowances will remain at 90 per cent.
The keen-eyed will also notice that handicap allowances for individual medals and Stableford competitions are set at 95 per cent.
Something approaching that figure has always been in place, handicap chiefs have said, but was administered in the background during annual handicap reviews.
Handicap allowances under WHS
Individual stroke play, Stableford, par/bogey, maximum score: 95%
Fourball stroke play: 85%
Fourball Stableford: 85%
Fourball par/bogey: 90%
Individual match play: 100%
Fourball match play: 90%
Foursomes: 50% of combined team handicap
Greensomes, Pinehurst/Chapman: 60% low handicap + 40% high handicap
Best 1 of 4 stroke play: 75%
Best 2 of 4 stroke play: 85%
Best 3 of 4 stroke play: 100%
Best 4 of 4 stroke play: 100%
Scramble (4 players): 25%/20%/15%/10% from lowest to highest handicap
Scramble (2 players): 35% low/15% high
Total score of 2 match play: 100%
Best 1 of 4 par/bogey: 75%
Best 2 of 4 par/bogey: 80%
Best 3 of 4 par/bogey: 90%
4 of 4 par/bogey: 100%
