Disadvantage

If one team is considered superior, is given to the weaker team an advantage, which will be added to the final outcome of the game. Soon, the team has a superior "handicap" to start. For example, Barcelona - Real Madrid: handicap 0:2 (these two goals will be added to the final outcome of the game in favor of Real Madrid) Barcelona won 1:0, but due to the handicap, the result for the punters is 1:2. Real Madrid who had bet on is that would have won.

Spreads

They are bets where a team takes a step forward and the other a disadvantage. Added to the actual result is the advancement or split a disadvantage. For example, the LA Lakers visit the Dallas Mavericks. There is a Spread for the away team of +6 points ahead. In the local team is given a handicap (Spread) of -6 points. The game ends with a 99:94 - victory for Dallas, your bet is won if you bet the Lakers (for their 94 points were added to 6).
