How it works

adjusted margin = (your goals − opponent goals) + handicap · > 0 win (stake × (odds − 1)), = 0 push (stake back), < 0 loss · quarter lines (±0.25, ±0.75…) split the stake in half across the two nearest half/whole lines, e.g. −0.75 = ½ on −0.5 + ½ on −1

Asian handicap betting gives one team a goal head start or deficit to remove the draw and make prices close to even. Whole lines (−1, 0, +2) can push and refund the stake; half lines (−0.5, +1.5) always have a winner. Quarter lines split the stake into two bets on the neighbouring lines, which produces half wins and half losses: on −0.75, a one-goal win pays half the bet at full odds and refunds the other half. Settlement uses the score at full time including stoppage time, not extra time, unless the market says otherwise.

Worked example

Betting $100 on a team at −0.75 at odds of 1.95: the stake is split into $50 on −0.5 and $50 on −1. The team wins 2-1: the −0.5 half wins $47.50 and the −1 half is a push, so the result is a half win with a profit of $47.50 and a total return of $147.50. A 3-1 win would pay $95.00; a draw loses the full $100.
