If an opponent is considered more superior than another, then bookmakers give the weaker an advantage, which is added on to the result that is actually achieved. Example: Bayern – Aachen: Handicap 0-2 (the 2 goals will be added to Liverpool's score in the actual result); Bayern wins 1-0; but through the handicap the result is 1-2. The result for your handicap bet is a win for Aachen.
