A Short Guide To Asian Handicapping

What is Asian Handicap? 

Asian Handicap is a form of betting, which has become very popular in Asia.

Football Is One Of Many Sports
Where You Can Use Asian Handicaps

You may also have heard about Asian Handicap from the name "Hang Cheng".

"Handicap" means that a team has received a virtual head start, effectively leading the game with 1/2 goal, 1/4 goal, 3/4 goal, 1 goal, 1 1/4 goal, etc.

When you bet with Asian Handicap, the possibility for a draw in a game is eliminated. Only home or away win exist. If the game ends in a draw, you will get your stake back. 

There are perhaps some confusing terminology, for instance half-handicap (1/2-goal), and quarter handicap (1/4-goal). 

Asian Handicap, something for you? 

Asian Handicap is definitively something for you ! We are all familiar with fixed odds betting. It has been, and still is the "normal" way of betting.

But with Asian Handicap, there is a much better chance of profit, due to the fact that you get your stakes back (or at least parts of it, depending on the handicap), when a draw occurs. 

In fixed odds betting, you would lose your money if you bet on something else than the actual result. You can bet on teams which you really don't believe will win the match, but due to the handicap, your team may still provide you with a profit !

Asian Handicap betting also provides much more excitement, as one single goal can take you from heaven to hell.

Generally, you increase your mathematical chances of winning on a single bet from 33.3% (fixed odds betting), to 50% (using Asian Handicap, although depending on the handicap).

Most bookmakers offer Asian Handicap betting, so why not give it a go?

Have a great day.
