About Asian Handicaps

There is a lot to talk about or to find out about Asian Handicaps though the basic principles are pretty simple. Let us take a look at the most common types of A /HC.

With Asian Handicap betting you eliminate the possibility of a draw in a soccer game. The underdog will be given a head start of a handicap, and the favourite will be handicapped by the same handicap. The predetermined number of handicap will be added to the real number of goals and make up the right bet.

Asian Handicap advantage compared to fixed odds

The possibility of a draw result is being eliminitated, increasing the winning chance from 33,3 percent to 50 percent in a single game. If a quarter handicap game ends with a draw, and you fail to win your bet, you only lose half of your stake. Depending on the handicap you can win your bet even if the team you bet on don't win the game. You can bet on a team you believe will lose the game, but because of a big handicap you can still win the bet. Typical here is when the favorite team win the game with only one goal and you have taken the underdog with +1.5 handicap.
You win!

0:0 Handicap

If there are no favourite the handicap will be set to 0:0.There will not be given a head start of a handicap for any team. No handicap will be added to the real number of goals.

Arsenal v Manchester Utd 1.90 0:0 1.95

If you bet on Arsenal you will win your bet if Arsenal win the match. If you bet on Manchester Utd you will win your bet if Manchester Utd win the match. If the game ends with a draw you will get your original stake back.

How much money do you get if you win your bet ?

Winning = Stake x odds. For example stake 100 x 1.90 (Arsenal) = 190
Net Winning (profit) = Winning - Stake. 190-100 = 90.

If you lose your bet you lose your stake = 100.

1/4 Handicap

When there is a 1/4 handicap special rules come into play if the game ends in a draw, you win half of what you could have won or you lose only half your stake.

Arsenal v Tottenham 1.90 0:1/4 1.95

It reads like this : "Arsenal giving 1/4 ball to Tottenham" This means that Tottenham have a 1/4 ball advantage when the game starts. If you bet on Arsenal you will win your bet if Arsenal win the game. If you bet on Tottenham you will win your bet if Tottenham win the game.

If the game ends in a draw, you will lose half if you bet on Arsenal. If you bet on Tottenham you will win half.

How much money do you get if you win your bet ?
Suppose Arsenal wins then,
Winning = Stake x odds.

For example 100 x 1.90 (Arsenal odds, your choice) = 190.

Net Winning (profit) = Winning - Stake. 190-90 = 100.

If you lose your bet you lose your stake. The whole of it. Same bet, but Tottenham wins. Yuo lose your stake = 100.

What happens if the game ends with a draw ? Now we have two possible outcomes.

If you bet on Tottenham you win 50 % of a full net winning, called 'win 1/2'
If you bet on Arsenal you lose 50 % of the stake, called 'loss 1/2'

How much money do you get if you 1/2 win your bet ?

Net Winning = (Winning - Stake) / 2. (190-100) / 2 = 45.

How much money do you get if you 1/2 lose your bet?
You lose your stake / 2. 100/2 = 50.
