ADK (AD carry) - a character with long-range attack and physical damage abilities.
Toper (top laner) is a player standing on the top solo lane. Due to the fact that tanks and bruisers are on the top, there are characters with a lot of health who can survive after a lot of damage.
Support is support champion. It may or may not have damage abilities. Its mission is to help ADK stand in lane and repel attacks from enemy champions. The supports always have control skills such as stun, etc., which allow them to incapacitate an enemy champion for a while. There can be one or two supports depending on the game.
Mid lane player is a player standing on the middle solo lane. Often this is either a magician or an assassin. This is the second key character, causing the greatest damage to the enemy after ADK.

For example, there are two opponents in a match, one of whom is obviously stronger than the other. You can bet a stronger player with a 7-point handicap (or any other amount) to win. If a strong opponent wins 6:0 or 7:1, then your bet is won. If it's 8:0 - then you lost.

Handicap on kills is a type of bet in which the bet is made on the number of kills on one particular map or in the entire match. This is typical type for League of Legends and Dota 2.
