Asian Handicap Betting Explained (Page 1 of 3)
ASIAN HANDICAP BETTING
Asian Handicap is a bet type designed to even out the soccer game for betting purposes, and eliminate the draw. The handicap is given in an attempt to make the two teams equal for betting purposes.
The Handicap is given as head start to the underdog, so they have a virtual lead in the game. For example with 1/2 goal (0.5), 1 goal (1), etc. For betting purposes, the winning team is decided on the final score, after 90 minutes (normal time) after taking the handicap into account.
There are two types of Asian Handicaps, namely, Single Handicaps and Split (Double or Quarter) Handicaps.
NEGATIVE HANDICAPS (Given to the Favorite)
A negative or minus handicap is given to the team considered more likely to win (the favorite). The favorite has to overcome the indicated handicap and will have it taken away from its final score. The handicap for the favorite is preceded by a minus (-) sign.
POSITIVE HANDICAPS (Given to the Underdog)
A positive or plus handicap is given to the team considered less likely to win (the underdog). The underdog is given a headstart, and will have the handicap added to its final score. The handicap for the underdog is preceded by a plus (+) sign.
Example 1: 0.5 ball handicap
In this example, the underdogs will start the game with a score of +0.5. In effect, this means that there can’t be a draw result when the handicap is included. The favorite will have to win by at least 1 goal to win the bet, while bets on the underdog will win with any other result.
Example 2: 0 ball handicap
If the two teams are evenly matched, a 0 ball handicap will be offered. In this case you can bet on either team to win the match. If the match ends in a draw all bets are refunded.
Example 3: 1 ball handicap
In this example, the favourite will start the game with a score of -1. This means that the favourite must win by 2 or more goals to win the bet. The bet will be refunded if the favourite only beat the underdogs by 1 goal. Conversely, the underdog will win the bet if only they win or draw the match, while the bets will be refunded if the favourite only beat the underdogs by 1 goal.
You must either deduct the handicap from the favorite or add it to the underdogs’ final score not both.
Example 4: Bradford City v Bury (Negative Handicap)
In this example, Bradford City are considered favorites for the match. As such, the handicap offered for the game is Bradford City -0.5 at 1.82 to beat Bury. This means that Bradford City will need to beat Bury by at least 1 goal for the bet to win. To calculate the return, simply multiply the stake (amount bet) by the price (1.82).
Scenario 1:
Player bets $50 on Bradford City -0.5 at 1.82. Final score is Bradford City 3, Bury 1.
1. Calculating if the bet is a winner. To calculate if the bet is a winner, simply subtract the handicap from the final score. In this scenario Bradford City’s adjusted score is 2.5 (final score of 3 less the handicap of 0.5). As such, Bradford City win the match 2.5 goals to 1 goal.
