The Asian handicap is a market that allows you to bet on a team by giving them a goal advantage or disadvantage at the start of the match in order to balance the game. A team can therefore virtually lead the score before the match begins.
The Asian handicap offers more possibilities than a regular handicap bet, as sometimes you can get a refund of your stake partially or even fully.
| Handicap (0) | This corresponds to the "Refund if draw" bet. In case of a draw, your stake is fully refunded. |
| Handicap (+1, +2, -1, -2, etc.) | A bet of this type allows you to add or subtract a goal to the team of your choice at the end of the match. If, by adding your handicap and the final result, you get a draw, your bet is refunded. Let's take a concrete example. You bet on Porto Handicap (-1) against Benfica:
|
| Handicap (+0.5, +1.5, -0.5, -1.5, etc.) | Your stake will be split into two separate bets. Let's take a concrete example. You bet €10 on Porto - Handicap (-0.75). This means that €5 will be placed on Porto - Handicap (-0.5) and €5 on Porto - Handicap (-1.0).
