Asian Handicap

Asian handicap betting is a form of football betting that incorporates performance-based handicaps for teams. When betting on a stronger team, known as the favourite, they must win by a larger margin in order for the bet to be successful. The system was created in Indonesia in the 21st century. handicaps are frequently measured in half or quarter goal increments, ranging from one quarter goal to numerous goals.

What Is the Asian Handicap?

In Asian handicap betting, a handicap is used to balance the odds of betting on either team winning. Asian handicaps make a game impossible to draw, giving only two options: win or lose. A negative symbol denotes a favourite team that is at a disadvantage (-). The handicap advantage obtained by the underdog team is denoted by a plus sign (+).

Example:

For this example let's use the match between Manchester City and Fulham.

In a traditional odds market, there are three possible outcomes for a football match: Manchester City wins, Fulham wins or the match ends with a draw.

When you place a bet on an Asian handicap market, the draw is removed, leaving you with the option of winning or losing.

For this example, we’ll take the handicap of one and a half goals, since Manchester City is the strong favourite.

Manchester City -1.5; Fulham +1.5

When it comes to this Asian handicap, one team gets a half-goal advantage (+0.5, +1.5, +2.5, etc.). The winning team is the one with the most points while the handicap is in effect. For example, if you bet on Manchester City to beat Fulham with a handicap of -1.5, Manchester City must win by two goals or more to win your bet.

If Fulham wins, the game ends in a tie. If Manchester City wins by a single goal, you lose the bet.

All Asian Handicap Types

Because of the numerous Asian handicaps, players have many options for increasing their bets. To better understand what the Asian handicap involves, we shall divide it into three main categories:

• Whole
• Half
• Quarter

Whole Asian Handicap

Betting options for the Whole Asian handicap include +1.0, -1.0, 0.0, +2.0, -2.0, +3.0, -3.0, etc. A "-" (minus) for the favourite and a "+" (plus) for the underdog are used to indicate these lines.

A gambler may win, lose, or receive a full refund based on the outcome.

+1.00

Win conditions: Win or draw

Lose conditions: Lose by 2 (if it is a lose by 1 - the bet is refunded)

-1.00

Win conditions: Win by +2 (if it is a win by +1 - the bet is refunded)

Lose conditions: Lose or draw

Half Asian Handicap

Half lines stand out from full lines because they contain numbers that end in .5 and fall within the +/- range of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and so on.

Depending on the outcome, a gambler could win, lose, or receive a full refund.

+0.50

Win conditions: Win or draw

Lose conditions: Lose by any point

-0.50

Win conditions: Win

Lose conditions: Lose by any point or draw

Quarter Asian Handicap

Because quarter lines contain values that end in.25 or.75 and range from +/- 0.25, 0.75, 1.25, 1.75, etc., they are different from full lines and half lines.

Depending on the outcome, the bettors may win, lose half their stake, or lose the entire bet.

+1.75

Win conditions: Win or draw

Lose conditions: Lose by 2 (if it is a lose by 1 - the bet is refunded)

What Are the Differences Between European and Asian Handicap

In the Asian handicap market, the only two outcomes are giving the home team or the away team a lead. Meanwhile, the European handicap has three possible results. Bettors can place bets on the home team, the away team, or the tie.

European Handicap

The European handicap, sometimes known as the three-way handicap, is similar to its Asian counterpart but much easier to understand. It works by giving the underdog a "lead" or points at the start of a match, and the stronger team a "disadvantage".

European handicap betting, unlike Asian handicap betting, does not use non-integral numbers in addition to whole numbers. It also works in the same way as 1X2 betting.

1. Advantages: Good for sports games with low scores; a chance to bet on a draw outcome.
2. Disadvantages: Not recommended for sports games with a lot at stake; bets that don't pay out.

Asian Handicap

Giving the stronger team a goal deficit, and giving the underdogs a goal advantage is an "Asian handicap." As a result, if you want to win a bet, you must back the side with the higher score. But you need to consider their advantages or disadvantages.

Asian handicapping is employed to ensure that a game does not end in a draw. As a result, since there is no longer a chance of a draw, you can only bet on either the home or away team.

1. Advantages: Taking away the chance of a tie makes it easier to win; even if the team you bet on loses, you may still win and get half of what you bet or half of what you win.
2. Disadvantages: In the beginning, it’s a little bit hard to understand and hard to learn; compared to regular betting, the odds are smaller.

When to Use an Asian Handicap?

In the most popular professional sports, such as football (the most profitable sport for playing Asian handicap bets), stronger teams often face weaker opponents. In these cases, the odds on the favourites are often so low that the risk is not worth taking given the potential winnings.

Asian handicap is best to use when there is a significant discrepancy in the ability of the two teams, or when you want to take away a draw and increase the chance to get half of your stager or half of your potential win income.
