We knew we had to take photographic I D with us so that was a plus. Downside was that roulette tables didn't open until 6.30pm so had to make do with the roulette machines which husband is not so keen on. Only good thing about them was minimum bet was 1 euro and not 5 euros like at the tables.

This is when the handicap for a sports event, such as a football match, is listed with a half handicap, to eliminate the chance of a draw. For example, Spurs will be given +1.5. Whatever the actual result of the game, the 1.5 added to Spurs goals total will mean that the bet can either win or lose.

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.
