Asian Handicap
Overview:
Special way of betting
As the term Asian Handicap Bet implies this betting mode has its origin in Asia. Actually there are even parts of the continent where it is so popular and common that soccer bets are pretty much narrowed down to only this particular betting option.
'Handicap' as a betting term means that a soccer team gets an imaginary lead against the other team before the match has even started. If you place a bet on that particular team and it manages to win (including the imaginary lead) you win the bet. The interesting thing about Asian Handicap betting is that you can not bet on a draw as a third possible betting result. Should the match end in a draw the bet will be accounted according to the type of Asian Handicap chosen before. The fact that draws have been eliminated from the bet makes the big difference between standard Soccer betting and the Asian Handicap bet.
