Asian handicap betting is
the most popular way of betting on football in the Far East
by the Asians. It offers great value to the bettor and is
potentially less risky than traditional fixed odds (1x2) betting.
You must either select the favoured team to overcome a handicap
(framed in goals) or oppose the favourite with the handicap.
There are only two possible selections in Asian handicap
betting, home team win or away team win. Asian Handicap betting
thus eliminates the draw option used in normal multiples (1x2).
The greater the difference in ability between the teams involved
in the match, the more goals you would expect the favourite
to win by and the bigger the handicap will be. The underdogs
will therefore be given a head start, a handicap, (of 0.5,
1 ball, etc.) by the favourite.
The favourite has to overcome the indicated handicap, and
will have it taken away from its final score. The handicap
for the favourite is preceded by a minus (-).
