Asian Handicap Help
Asian Handicap - What is it?
Asian Handicap (also known as
Hang Cheng) eliminates the possibility of a draw in a soccer
game. This means that either the home side or the away side
is a winner on your soccer bet. Each team is given a
handicap by the bookmaker, which is supposed to balance them
so that an equal number of betters will bet each side.
Example:
Let's say Milan play Juventus at San Siro
The handicap is:
| Home
team |
Away
team |
Odds
home |
Handicap |
Odds
away |
| Milan |
Juventus |
2.00
|
0 : 1/2
|
1.85
|
This can be read like: "Milan
giving 1/2 ball to Juventus"
Said in another way: Juventus have a "a half goal" (ball)
advantage when the match starts.
Bet on Milan:
If Milan win the game you will win stake x 2,00 (odds),
otherwise you will lose.
Bet on Juventus:
If the game ends in a tie or Juventus win you will win stake
x 1,85 (odds)
Let's make another example:
Arsenal play Leeds at Highbury
The handicap is:
| Home
team |
Away
team |
Odds
home |
Handicap |
Odds
away |
| Arsenal |
Leeds |
1.925
|
0 : 3/4
|
1.975
|
1/4, 3/4, 1 1/4 etc. asian
handicaps bring new rules into the game
This can be read like: "Arsenal giving 3/4 ball to Leeds".
It can also be known as 1/2, 1 ball ("half, one ball")
Bet on Arsenal:
If Arsenal win the game by two goals or more you will win
full stake x 1,925 (odds)
If Arsenal win the game by one goal you will win half your
stake: 1,925 (odds) x 0.5 x stake.
Bet on Leeds:
If the game ends in a tie or Leeds win, you will win stake x
1,975 (odds)
If Arsenal win the game by one goal you will lose half
your stake: 1.975(odds) x 0.5.
We will make a third example:
Barcelona play Real Madrid at
Nou Camp
The handicap is:
| Home
team |
Away
team |
Odds
home |
Handicap |
Odds
away |
| Barcelona |
Real
Madrid |
1.925
|
0 : 1
|
1.975
|
This can be read like:
"Barcelona giving 1 ball to Real Madrid"
Bet on Barcelona:
If Barcelona win the game by two goals or more you will win
stake x 1,925 (odds)
If Barcelona win the game by one goal you will get your
stake back
Bet on Real Madrid:
If the game ends in a tie or Real Madrid win you will win
stake x 1,975 (odds)
If Barcelona win the game by one goal you will get your
stake back.

Asian Handicap vs Fixed Odds
The advantages of the two different ways to bet on a soccer
match:
Asian Handicap
- Eliminate the possibility of a draw.
- You get high prices on favourites.
- If a quarter handicap match ends in a draw, you only lose
50% of your stake.
- Good fun when following a match live - one single goal is
likely to change everything.
- When playing multiple betting the number of outcomes are
reduced from 27 (3x3x3) to only 8 (2x2x2).
Fixed Odds
- A very high number of bookmakers to choose from.
- Bankers. It is possible to bet on "secure" games, which
might be suitable for an accumulator.
- Bigger odds on outsiders.
- Much easier to find value bets. You only need
home-draw-away estimations, in Asian Handicap it is required
that you are able to predict exact results.
