Asian handicap betting is one of the popular options available in top sportsbooks that cover football. However, it\u2019s one of those betting markets that are difficult to understand, at least from the perspective of a new punter. If you\u2019re a beginner and betting from the Philippines, this short guide can help you understand how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Asian Handicap Betting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The word \u2018handicapping\u2019 is a popular term that\u2019s used in sports betting. The meaning of a handicap in betting involves a team that\u2019s handicapped or it\u2019s virtually given a head-start even before the start of a football match. The assignment of the handicap depends on the form of a team and the capabilities of its opponent. Under the Asian handicap meaning, a stronger football team must win by more than one goal, often by two or three, for a punter betting on them to win. Once the bookmaker sets the handicap, the market becomes active, and betting prices can move if most punters see that the handicap is wrong. In short, handicap betting removes the possibility of a draw in a football match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two types of Asian handicap explained in this guide- the half goal (o.5 or 1.5) and the whole goal (0 or 1). If the bookmaker assigns a half goal handicap football bet, you can expect a clear winner in the match since it\u2019s not possible for a team to score half a point. When it comes to the whole goal Asian handicap betting, if the result is level after considering the assigned handicap, then the punters’ bets are refunded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
