What is Asian Handicap? What is Arbitrage? An Asian Handicap is a gambling term used to describe spread betting in Football that has gained popularity in Asia over the years. Handicaps typically range from one quarter goal to several goals and can be described in terms of half or even quarter goals. Most importantly, Asian Handicap betting reduces the possible number of outcomes from three (in traditional 1X2 wagering) to two by eliminating the draw outcome. This simplification delivers two betting options that each have a near 50% chance of success. Asian Handicaps help bookmakers minimize risk by facilitating trading with parity or balancing the amount of wagering on each side of the match. This enables bookmakers to take larger positions on major matches. It is important to understand how Asian handicap works before betting on them. There are 2 types of offer for Asian Handicaps. Here are some examples and their outcomes. Single Offer Explained: This handicap states that Brest is "giving" Bastia 0.5 goal. What this means is that Bastia is starting the game with a 0.5 goal lead over Brest. If the final score of the game is Brest 1-1 Bastia, then a bet on Brest loses with the final score (after adding the handicap, Brest 1 – 1.5 Bastia). Here is an example of a simple twin offer match. Twin Offer Match: Ardennes vs. Stade Ardennes (1.85) - Handicap (0/0.5) - Stade (2.07) Explained: This handicap states that Ardennes is "giving" Stade zero-and-half goal. What this means is that Ardennes is starting the game with a 0 goal lead for 50% of the stake and 0.5 goals for the other 50% of the stake. If the final score of the game is Ardennes 1-1 Stade, then a bet on Ardennes draws with the final score (after adding the handicap, Ardennes 1 - 1 Stade) for 50% of your bet stake. For your other 50%, a bet on Ardennes loses with the final score (after adding the handicap, Ardennes 1 – 1.5 Stade). Here are more possible outcomes
