What it is?
Asian Handicap (AH) evens a mismatch by giving one team a head start (underdog) or a penalty (favorite). The handicap is applied to the score after the match (or half) to grade your bet.
Why use it?
Removes or reduces the draw from many markets.
Lets you fine-tune risk with whole, half, and quarter lines.
Core lines
0 (Draw No Bet)
Win = win. Draw = push/refund. Lose = loss.±0.5
+0.5 wins on win or draw. −0.5 needs a win.±1.0
−1.0: win by 2+ to win; win by 1 = push.
+1.0: win or draw = win; lose by 1 = push.±1.5 / ±2.5
Half-goal lines have no push.
Example: −1.5 must win by 2+; +1.5 wins unless losing by 2+.
Quarter lines (stake splits)
Your stake splits 50/50 between the two nearest half/whole lines.
+0.25 = half on +0 and half on +0.5
Win = win. Draw = half-win. Lose = loss.−0.25 = half on 0 and half on −0.5
Win = win. Draw = half-loss. Lose = loss.+0.75 = half on +0.5 and half on +1.0
Win/Draw = win. Lose by 1 = half-loss. Lose by 2+ = loss.−0.75 = half on −0.5 and half on −1.0
Win by 2+ = win. Win by 1 = half-win. Draw/Lose = loss.
Quick soccer example
Real Madrid vs Barcelona
Real Madrid −1.5 → needs to win by 2+ (2–0, 3–1 = ✅; 1–0, 2–1 = ❌).
Barcelona +1.5 → wins if win/draw/lose by 1 (1–1, 0–1 = ✅; 0–2 = ❌).
Asian totals (Over/Under)
Same logic on goals:
2.0: exact 2 = push; Over wins 3+, Under wins 0–1.
2.25: splits Over 2.0/2.5 (or Under). Can half-win/half-lose.
2.5: no push.
Good to know
All Asian Handicap and Asian totals are straight bets (single selections).
