What is 1 1/4 handicap ? What does 1.25 handicap mean? A complete guide to 1/1.5 handicap.

A 1 1/4 handicap (also known as 1.25 handicap or 1-1.5 handicap) is a type of handicap bet in football/soccer. In this type of bet, the Upper Team (favored team) is giving a 1 1/4 goal handicap to the Lower Team (underdog team) (meaning the underdog team is given an additional +1.25 goal handicap).

To better understand, you need to know that a 1.25 handicap falls between a 1-goal handicap and a 1.5-goal handicap (above 1 goal and below 1.5 goals). So, the order is: 1-goal handicap < 1.25-goal handicap < 1.5-goal handicap.

If the Upper Team wins by a margin of 2 goals or more (2-0, 3-0, 3-1, etc.), then the bet on the Upper Team wins, while the bet on the Lower Team loses (wins and loses, respectively).

If the Upper Team loses or the match ends in a draw, then the bet on the Upper Team loses, while the bet on the Lower Team wins.

Example:

In this case, we have a 1 1/4 handicap between two teams, Porto and Gil Vicente, with the match being played at Gil Vicente's home ground. Porto is the Upper Team.

If Porto wins by a margin of only 1 goal, then the bet on Porto loses half of the stake, while the bet on Gil Vicente wins half of the stake.
