Understanding Asian Handicaps
Whole Number (-1, -2)
Win, lose, or push. If the margin equals the handicap exactly, the stake is returned (push).
Half Goal (-0.5, -1.5)
Eliminates the draw. You either win or lose - no push possible with half-goal lines.
Quarter Goal (-0.75, -0.25)
Split bet: half on each adjacent line. Can result in half-win or half-lose outcomes.
Positive Handicap (+0.5, +1)
Betting on the underdog. Your team gets a virtual head start before the match begins.

Pro Tips
Start with Half Goals
If you're new to Asian handicaps, start with -0.5 or +0.5 lines. They're simplest: your team just needs to win (or not lose) with no push confusion.
Use Quarter Lines for Value
Quarter handicaps like -0.75 offer insurance. If your team wins by 1, you get half-win instead of push. Good for close matches.
Compare with 1X2 Odds
Asian handicap odds are often better than traditional win/draw/lose. Compare before betting - especially on favorites where AH eliminates draw risk.
