HOW WE RUN MARKETS

How We Settle Basketball Handicap Markets Fairly

We source basketball handicap lines from established odds compilers and apply consistent settlement rules across PBA, NBA and UAAP markets. Line movement is logged, so the odds you accepted at bet placement are the ones used for settlement — no retroactive adjustments. Where a market is voided due to an abandoned game or a data discrepancy, stakes are returned to your account wallet automatically.

Fixed Acceptance Odds

The handicap spread and the odds shown at the moment you confirm your bet are locked in — post-match line movement does not alter your settlement.

Clear Push Policy

When a full-point handicap line ends exactly on the spread margin, the bet is a push and your stake is returned to your account wallet without deduction.

Void and Refund Rule

Games cancelled or suspended before the full result is official are voided. Stakes go back to your account wallet, visible under transaction history within the session.

Live Market Transparency

Live handicap lines update in real time during the game. The current spread and your potential payout recalculate on screen before you confirm each in-play wager.

okgames99 What Points Handicap Betting Actually Means

What Points Handicap Betting Actually Means

A basketball points handicap — often called a spread — assigns a positive or negative value to each team before tip-off. If the San Miguel Beermen are listed at -8.5 against Meralco, they must win by nine or more points for a bet on them to be settled as a win. Meralco at +8.5 means a loss of eight or fewer points

still counts as a winning wager on that side. The half-point (.5) eliminates the push — a result exactly on the line — so every bet resolves as a clear win or loss. Quarter-point and full-point lines also appear; a full-point line can end in a push, returning your stake. We display the handicap value, the market status and the live line

movement directly on each game card so you always see the current spread before confirming.

Basketball Handicap Glossary for Philippine Bettors

These are the terms you will see most often when browsing basketball handicap markets on okgames99. Each definition is written in plain language so you can read a bet slip confidently before confirming.

What is the spread in basketball betting?

The spread is the points handicap assigned to each team. The favourite is given a negative value; the underdog receives a positive value of the same number to balance the wager.

What does AH mean on the bet slip?

AH stands for Asian Handicap. It eliminates the draw outcome by using quarter- or half-point increments, ensuring every basketball handicap bet settles as a win, loss or partial result.

What is a push in a basketball handicap market?

A push occurs when the final margin equals the exact whole-number spread. Neither side wins; your stake is returned to your account wallet as if the bet never took place.

What does covering the spread mean?

Covering the spread means a team beats the handicap assigned to them — the favourite wins by more than the line, or the underdog loses by less than the line, or wins outright.

What is a quarter-ball handicap?

A quarter-ball line such as -3.25 splits your stake across two adjacent lines: -3 and -3.5. Depending on the margin, part of your bet can win and part can push, giving a partial return.

What is live or in-play handicap betting?

Live handicap betting lets you place a spread wager after tip-off while the game is active. The line adjusts constantly based on the current score and game situation.

A -8.5 handicap means your team needed to win by nine points or more. If they won by eight or fewer, the adjusted score still falls short of covering the spread, so the bet settles as a loss regardless of the outright result.
