What this tool calculates
It compares total games won after adding the selected player’s game handicap, then settles at the entered decimal odds.
Adjusted game margin = selected player games − opponent games + handicap.
Retirements, walkovers, super tie-breaks and shortened formats can change official settlement. Check the market rules.
Worked example
A player wins 19 games to 17. At −1.5 games, the adjusted margin is +0.5, so the selection covers.
| Games won | 19–17 |
|---|---|
| Handicap | −1.5 |
| Adjusted margin | +0.5 |

FAQ

Subtract the opponent’s total games from the selected player’s total and add the handicap.
What does minus 2.5 games mean in tennis?
The selected player must finish at least three games ahead across the counted sets.
Do tie-break points count as games for handicaps?
A normal tie-break decides one game; individual tie-break points are not separate games.
What happens to a game handicap if a player retires?
Settlement varies by bookmaker and market, so consult the applicable retirement rule.
