Asian Handicap is a form of soccer betting which is very popular in Asia (hence the name). “Handicap” means that one team receives a “virtual head start”, effectively leading the game by a differing amount or amounts before the game starts. Simply put, Asian Handicaps are designed to eliminate the possibility of a draw in a Soccer match, reducing the match to two possible outcomes. There are two types of handicap – half goal (0.5, 1.5 etc) and whole goal (0,1 etc). In the case of a half-goal handicap, naturally there is always a clear winner as it’s not possible to score half a goal. In the case of a whole goal handicap, if the result is level after the handicap is taken into consideration, then all bets are refunded.
