Asian Handicap Tips

To betting beginners, Asian Handicaps can look like one of the scarier types of betting. Picking a team to win with a 0.25 goal handicap seems counter-intuitive – after all, how can you score a quarter of a goal - and as such Asian Handicaps might appear to be more complex than they really are.

However, if you take time to learn and have the patience to understand how these kinds of handicaps work, then it really is possible to improve your betting profits by using Asian Handicaps. We’re going to concentrate on how they work in soccer betting in this article, but the principle is the same across many other sports such as tennis, basketball and American football.


Why bet on an Asian Handicap?

The Asian Handicap was created by bookmakers to do two serve two purposes.

Firstly, the Asian Handicap reduces the number of betting outcomes to two. This is useful in sports like soccer where there are often ties. Secondly, it helps to even up mismatched contests, so that odds on bets are closer to evens (2.00). This makes it more interesting for betting purposes.

One of the most important things to consider when betting on an Asian Handicap is the “line” or “spread”. This is the point where either side of the handicap is even. In a perfectly even game, the line with bookmakers will be 1.90 either side (2.00 – 10% which represents the bookie’s commission) at 0.

The more likely a team is to lose, the bigger the handicap they are given. For example, in a match where a bookie expects a team to lose by 2, they would set the line so that the underdog has +2 and the favourite is -2. Betting on the underdog would need them to lose by less than 2 to win the bet, while the favourite would need to win by more than 3 to win the bet.
