Let’s explain Asian handicap markets with examples from football matches.

Asian handicap 0.0

Market example: Manchester United are @1.90 – Liverpool are @1.95.

You bet £100 on Manchester United on the Asian Handicap Football Betting Market of 0.0.

• If Manchester United wins, you win.
• In the draw happen, your stake will refund.
• If Manchester United loses, you lose.

You might see some companies offering services like DNB, Draw no bet, or Level ball. These are the same bets as 0.0 AH and can use in the football market in most cases.

0.25 Handicap Example

The score at the game’s beginning is 0 – 0.25 (1/4 handicap). The underdog leads by a quarter of a goal before kickoff.

You win, win a half, lose or lose half your bet. Let’s look at an example.

AS Monaco @2.00 – Olympique Lyonnais @1.90

You bet £100 in AS Monaco to win an Asian handicap market of -0.25.

• If AS Monaco wins, you win.
• If the result is a tie, you lose half of your stake (£50), and the other half (£50) will return to you.
• If Olympique Lyonnais wins, the bet is lost.

You bet £100 in Olympique Lyonnais to win a handicap of +0.25.

• If Olympique Lyonnais wins, you win.
• In the event of a tie, you get half your stake back and win the other half (£50) at odds of 1.90. You are still making a profit.
• If Olympique Lyonnais loses, you lose.

0.5 Handicap Example

By that means, the game starts with a score of 0:0.5 (the half-ball handicap). The perimeter team has the hemisphere advantage before the kickoff.

Leverkusen @1.85 vs Juventus @2.00

You bet £100 in Leverkusen to win the Asian handicap of -0.5. If the team is ahead in the betting market, we use the minus sign (-).

• If Leverkusen wins, you win.
• You lose your bet if Juventus wins or the game ends in a draw.

You bet £100 at Juventus to win the +0.5 Asian handicap. We use the plus sign (+) if the team is ahead in the betting market.

• You win if Juventus wins or the game ends in a draw.
• If Leverkusen wins, you lose your bet.

Leverkusen Win and Leverkusen -0.5 AH are the same bet and usually have the same odds.

0.75 Handicap Example

The score at the game’s beginning is 0:0.75 (3/4 handicap). The underdog leads by a quarter of a goal before kickoff.

It differs from the Asian handicap betting market of 0.25 but is slightly different.

Celta Vigo@1.90 vs Sevilla@1.90

You bet £100 on Celta Vigo to win the +0.75 Asian handicap. The home team is the underdog. Therefore, Celta Vigo’s offer has a handicap of 0.75.

• If Celta Vigo wins or draws, you win the bet.
• If Sevilla wins by 1 goal difference (0-1, 1-2, 2-3), you will lose half of your stake (£50) and return the other half (£50).
• You lose your stake if Sevilla wins the game with two or more goals (0-2, 1-3, 0-3).

You bet £100 in Sevilla to win the Asian handicap of -0.75. To win your bet, you need Sevilla to win by two or more goal differences (0-2, 0-3, 1-3).

• You win if Sevilla wins by two or more goals.
• If Sevilla wins by a goal (0-1, 1-2, 2-3), you win half your stake (£50) and beat the other half (50 × 1.90). You are profitable again.
• You lose your bet if the game ends in a draw or Celta Vigo wins.

-1 Handicap Example

By that, the game starts with a score of 0:1. The weaker team leads by one goal before kickoff (handicap 0:1).

Chelsea @1.80 vs. Liverpool @2.05

You bet £100 on Chelsea to win -1 Asian Handicap. To be a winner, you need Chelsea to win by two or more goals (2-0, 3-0, 3-1).

• You win if Chelsea wins by two or more goals.
• You get your stake if Chelsea wins by one goal (1:0, 2:1, 3:2).
• If the match finish in a draw or Liverpool wins, you lose your bet.

You bet £100 in Liverpool to win +1 Asian Handicap. To be a winner, you need a Liverpool win or a draw.

• You win the bet if the match results in a draw or Liverpool wins.
• If Liverpool loses a goal (1:0, 2:1, 3:2), your stake will refund.
• If Chelsea wins by two or more goals, you lose your bet.

The same is true when the home team is an outsider. Usually, it displays as Handicap 1:0/Handicap +1.

-1.5 Handicap Example

One of the famous Asian lines in football handicap betting is the -1.5 line. Here, the game starts from the 0:1.5 line (handicap 1.5).

The underdog has a hemisphere advantage before kickoff. There are no shares in this market.

Real Madrid @1.90 vs. Betis @2.00

You bet £100 -1.5 AH in Real Madrid. You need Real Madrid to win by two or more goals to win your bet. In any other case, you lose your stake.

• You win if Real Madrid wins by two or more goals. Your profit will be £90.
• If Real Madrid wins by goal difference, or the game ends in a draw, or Betis wins, you lose your stake.

Let’s say you bet £100 +1.5 Asian handicap on Betis.

• You win if the Betis doesn’t lose or only loses by goal difference (1-0, 2-1).
• You lose your stake if Real Madrid wins by two or more goal differences.

Real Madrid -1.5 Asian Handicap is the same as Real Madrid -1 EH (European Handicap).

Alternative Asian Handicap Market

You will quickly understand all the other available markets if you know the main Asian markets above.

The concept is the same, the home team or the away team has an advantage but a bigger disadvantage.Such as, -1.75, -2, -2.25, -2.5, -2.75, etc.

Bookmaker lists different Asian markets; for example, Bet365 offers standard AH options based on odds.

All other AH options are in the “Alternative Asian Handicap” list in a separate section.

Some of the well-known Asian bookmakers have their styles, and they present a few different alternatives.

Asian Handicap Betting Conclusion

Many times we pick to add Asian handicap bets to our bet slips. We usually find good odds on the classic line, which is the same as the straight 1×2 result.

We also use it when we predict some in-form team winning more comfortably than expected, resulting in a better reward with a higher risk.

I recommend a new player to bet on the Asian handicap, but he should know the line and results first.

The rules may seem complicated from the first angle, but you will find it simple in the end, like most bettors. Take some time to get the learning disability right.

Asian handicap bets are used by many players, especially in football betting. Always remember that Asian Handicap betting does not result in a tie.
