Asian Handicap Betting Rules
- Asian Handicaps are designed to eliminate the possibility of a draw in a Soccer match, reducing the match to two possible outcomes.
- Asian Handicaps are applied to the match in order to make the prices more equal. It varies from Scratch (0) up to any number of goals in order to balance the odds and give each of the two teams relatively similar price. The handicap line increases from Scratch in 'Quarter Goals' or 'Quarter Balls', expressed as + or - 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2 etc. to reflect the expected superiority of one team over the other.
- The favourite in a match will have a negative handicap and the underdog will receive a positive handicap. The negative is represented by a (-) symbol and the positive by a (+) symbol. The handicap will be substracted or added to the final score.
- If the number of goals for each team are level after the handicap has been applied, it will be a push.
- Split Ball handicaps: where the level of favouritism is between a half ball and a whole ball. In this case the bet is being split equally between the whole ball and half ball handicaps.
For example:
• Liverpool +0 & +0.5 (-120)
• Chelsea -0 & -0.5 (-110)
In this case, the wager is divided between a bet on the zero (level) handicap and a bet on the half-goal handicap. For example, if you back Chelsea for $20 to beat Liverpool with a handicap of -0 & -0.5, then you have two separate $10 bets (at the same Odds, -120 in the example) - Chelsea -0 and Chelsea -0.5
• If Chelsea wins by 1 goal or more, both bets win.
• If the game is drawn, then the -0.5 handicap bet loses and the other half (+0) is a push.
• If Chelsea loses, then both parts of the bet lose.
