Asian Handicap 0.5 1.0 betting explained with examples

Before knowing the Asian Handicap 0.5 1.0 explained in detail let us first help you understand what the Asian Handicap betting option is and why it exists. Sometimes in football matches the outcome of the match is pretty clear especially when there is a stronger team and an underdog team. So, placing bets on such matches would not only be easy but also boring. Sports betting was creating with the idea of making predicting the outcome of matches a thrilling experience and such matches would not be deemed as an exciting sports match to bet on.

• Thus, to make things interesting, bookies introduced the Asian Football Handicap Betting option where the stronger teams are given a handicap disadvantage while the underdog teams are given a an advantage to even out the match prediction and make betting exciting.
• The goal advantage for the underdog team is denoted by a + symbol and the goal disadvantage for the stronger team is denoted by a – symbol.
• This handicap disadvantage and advantage comes in terms of goals where the underdog team are given head-start extra goals while the stronger teams have to reach a certain goal limit to validate the bets placed on them. To understand this in a better way let us look at an example:

Team A (Underdog) = Scored 0 Goals + Advantage of +1 Goal = 0+1  = 1 Goal in the Sportsbook

Team B (Favorite) = Scored 1 Goal + Disadvantage of  -1 Goal = 1-1 = 0 Goals in the Sportsbook

As you can see in the example above, the underdog team, even if they lose the match, the bets placed on them have a good chance of winning thanks to the handicap betting advantage and disadvantage. This means that if the underdog team wins with more goals, your bets on them will win. If the stronger team wins with more goals then your bets on them will win.

If the underdog team does not win the match but has a goal advantage of +1, then your betting stake will be refunded. However, if the stronger team has a goal disadvantage of -1, and wins the match by 1 goal, then you will lose the betting stake. 

Team A = Scored 0 Goals + Advantage of +0.5 Goal = Bets need 1 goal or Tie to Win
(Refunded)

Team B = Scored 1 Goal + Disadvantage of  -0.5 Goal = Bets need more than 1 goal to Win (Refunded or Lost)

This is because 0.5 translates to 1/2, which means half a goal and such goals cannot be scored realistically. Thus, the 0.5 goal advantage is given to teams who are stronger compared to weaker teams but also weaker compared to the teams that have won major league titles, this is why the 0.5 goal advantage here, often come with a small condition. The higher the handicap goal advantage and disadvantage difference, the less conditions for the underdog team and more conditions for the stronger teams in the sportsbook.

How does 0.5 and 1 make the 0.75 handicap goal?

As mentioned above, there are many different types of handicap betting options which are often given for full time, half time, or even with the tie betting option under the 3 way handicap, but what is also important to understand is that there are variations in goal differences given to different teams. 

The 0.75 handicap betting option falls between the 0.5 and 1.0 handicap goals difference and is thus derived by take the average of the 0.5 and 1.0 handicap bets. For instance,

(0.5 + 1)/2 = 0.75
