What does +1.5 handicap mean? A +1.5 handicap means that 1.5 goals or points will be added to the full-time score for that game. For example, if the game finishes 2-1 and your team has only scored 1 goal, then 1.5 will be added to create an adjusted final score of 2-2.5, meaning the bet now wins.

In sports betting, a handicap of 1.5 means that one team is given a 1.5 goal advantage before the game starts. This means that if you bet on the team with a handicap of 1.5, they would need to win the game or draw for your bet to be successful.
