Asianhandicap is another form of betting in the wonderful world of soccer punting originating from Asia. As opposed to 1 x 2 whereby punters have a 33.33% chance of winning, Asianhandicap increases the advantage to 50%. The best part is there's a possibility of a draw or winning/losing half of your stake under certain conditions! Another advantage is rather than placing a punt on a favorite team at a very low return, you can get much better odds by giving handicap to the weaker team. Below we will provide several examples for you to familiarize yourself with Asianhandicap.
Level Ball (+0) scenario:
Match : Juventus +0 1.95 vs. AC Milan +0 1.90
You place a $100 wager on Juventus at +0 1.95 and the Full Time result is a draw at 1-1. Your wager of $100 is return back to you because you neither give nor received a handicap. Now if there was an outcome for example Juventus won at Full Time 2-1 then you would have won $95 from your $100 wager ( $100 x .95 = winning ). And if Juventus were to lose the match at Full Time by a goal or more then you would lose your $100 wager.
Even Half (1/4), also known as 0.25 scenario:
Match : Manchester United -1/4 1.90 vs. Liverpool +1/4 2.00
You place a $100 wager on Liverpool at +1/4 2.00 and at Full Time the result is a draw, then you would win half of your wager ( $100/2 x 1.00 = $50 ). If Liverpool were to win by a goal or more then you would win the full wager amount ( $100 x 1.00 = $100 ). But if Manchester United were to win by a goal or more then you would lose your full wager.
If you were to place a $100 wager on Manchester United and the Full Time result is a draw, then you would lose half of your wager $50. A win by one or more goals will result in a $90 profit ( $100 x .90 = $90).
Half Ball (1/2), also known as 0.5 scenario:
Match : Chelsea -1/2 1.85 vs. Arsenal +1/2 2.05
You place a $100 wager on Arsenal at +1/2 2.05 and the Full Time result is a draw or Arsenal winning by a goal or more then your wager return would be $105 ( $100 x 1.05 = $105 ). If Arsenal were to lose by a goal or more then you would lose your wager of $100.
Now if you were to place a wager on Chelsea at -1/2 1.85, Chelsea must win at Full Time by a goal or more. Your potential winning would be $85 ( $100 x .85 = $85 ).
Half One (3/4), also known as 0.75 scenario:
Match : Inter Milan -3/4 2.10 vs. Lazio +3/4 2.00
You place a $100 wager on Inter Milan at -3/4 2.10 and the Full Time result is Inter Milan win by only a goal, then your winning is half of your wager which is $55 ( $100/2 x 1.10 ). If Inter Milan were to win by two goals or more then you would win your full wager which is $110 ( $100 x 1.10 ). If Inter were to draw or lose then you would lose your full wager of $100.
If you were to take Lazio and the Full Time result is Lazio lost by only a goal then you would lose half of your wager which is $50. And if Lazio were to lose by two goals or more then you lose your full wager of $100. A draw or a win for Lazio and you would win $100.
One Ball (1), also known as 1 scenario:
Match : Everton +1 1.95 vs. Arsenal -1 1.95
You place a wager of $100 on Arsenal at -1 1.95, then you need Arsenal to win at Full Time by two goals or more and your potential winning is $95. If Arsenal won by only a goal then your wager is returned because it's a draw on handicap. And if the outcome is a draw or Arsenal losing then you would lose your $100 wager.
Now if you were to wager $100 on Everton +1 1.95 then you needs a draw or Everton winning at Full Time to win your wager worth $95. If Arsenal wins by only a goal then your wager is returned and if Arsenal were to win by two goals or more then you lose your $100 wager.
One and One Half, (1,1/4) also known as 1.25 scenario:
Match : Chelsea -1.25 1.90 vs. Manchester City +1.25 2.00
You place a $100 wager on Manchester City at +1.25 2.00 and the Full Time score is Manchester City lost by one goal margin then you would win half of your wager. A lost by two goals or more would result in you losing your entire wager. In order to win your full wager you would need Manchester City to draw or to win the game.
In Chelsea's case, if they were to win by only a goal margin then you would lose half of your wager. In order to collect your full winning you need Chelsea to beat Manchester City by two goals or more. A draw or a losing outcome will result in you losing your full wager.
One Half (1.5) scenario:
Match : Barcelona -1.5 1.85 vs. Athletico Madrid +1.5 2.05
If you place a $100 wager on Barcelona at -1.5 1.85 then you need Barcelona to win by two goals or more at Full Time. If the match ended with Barcelona losing, a draw or only a win by a goal margin then you would lose your wager of $100.
And if you place a $100 wager on Athletico Madrid at +1.5 2.05, you will need them to either lose by only a goal, a draw or a win in order to win your wager.
