Asian Handicap
Asian handicap betting is an option in events where a "handicap" is assigned to overcome a challenge in winning the bet. In other words, considering the displayed match score, which team is likely to win?
This is popular in heavily favored matches rather than betting on low odds.
The handicap does not take into account the target/score before placing the bet.
There are five possible outcomes: win, half win, void, lose, and half lose.
Examples are given in the following Asian handicap table:
