Asian Handicap
Asian Handicap is a popular form of sports betting that originated in Asia and is commonly used on Winfair24.
It is designed to eliminate the possibility of a draw in a match by giving one team or a player a handicap while also adjusting the odds to make the betting more competitive.
In simple terms, Asian Handicap is a way to make sports matches more interesting for bettors by giving one team or player a head start and the other team a disadvantage. This makes it less likely for the game to end in a tie, and it also makes the bets more exciting because it can be challenging to predict the winner. The odds are adjusted to make betting fair and attractive to both sides.
So, instead of just betting on who will win, you are betting on whether a team can overcome the advantage or disadvantage given to them.
Asian Handicap can seem a bit complex at first, but it is actually quite straightforward once you understand the basics.
How Asian Handicap Works
In Asian Handicap, the stronger team is handicapped by a certain number of goals or points, and the weaker team is given a corresponding advantage. This is done to level the playing field, making it more attractive for bettors to wager on both sides of the matchup.
Types of Asian Handicap
The most common Asian Handicap types are
Full Goal Handicaps: In these handicaps, whole goals are used, such as -1, -2, +1, +2 etc.
Half Goal Handicaps: Half goals are used in these handicaps, such as -1.5, -2.5, + 1.5, +2.5 etc
Let’s say there is a Premier League football match between Crystal Palace and Tottenham and you want to place an Asian Handicap bet on this game. Tottenham is the favorite and Crystal Palace is the underdog. You want to set the Asian Handicap at +1.5 for Crystal Palace and -1.5 for Tottenham.
Back Bet (Betting on Tottenham with -1.5 Asian Handicap)
You believe Tottenham will win by more than 1.5 goals (that is 2 goals or more)
Backing this selection means you are betting FOR this outcome.
