Asian handicaps eliminate the chance of a draw in a match, so the possible outcomes are two, which make the game more fun and fairer. The outcome is based on the results of the 90-minute game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>0 Goal Handicap:&nbsp;<\/strong>The bet eliminates a draw as a possible outcome of the match &#8211; in case of a draw, the bettor will receive a refund. If you bet on Team A with a \u201c0\u201d handicap against Team B and Team A wins, you win<\/li><li><strong>0.25 Goal Handicap:&nbsp;<\/strong>The \u00bc-goal handicap may be expressed by some bookmakers as &#8220;0 and \u00bd&#8221;, If the &#8220;draw&#8221; outcome is a half-loss<\/li><li><strong>0.5 Goal Handicap: <\/strong>The game starts with a score of 0-0.5. The underdog team has a half goal lead before kick-off. If you\u2019re betting team A to win the 0.5 Asian handicap market, if the result is a draw or team A loses, the bet loses. If team A wins, you win the bet<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Betting Odds<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Betting odds are a set of values \u200b\u200bcalculated strictly by the bookmaker based on the team&#8217;s goals and results within a certain period. The three main types of betting odds are decimal (European) odds, fractional (British) odds, and money line (American) odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>European Odds:<\/strong>&nbsp;European decimal odds represent the amount one wins for every $1 wagered, which considered the easiest format. Assuming today&#8217;s European odds are 3, the bettor knows that for every $100 they bet, the payout for winning the bet is $300<\/li><li><strong>British Odds:<\/strong>&nbsp;British odds are expressed in the form of a &#8220;<strong>\/<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8221; symbol, which are the ratio of the amount (profit) won to the stake:&nbsp;If a bettor wants a profit of $200, the stake must be $100. Converted to British odds, this is 2\/1<\/li><li><strong>American Odds:<\/strong>&nbsp;Depending on the negative (-) or positive (+) sign, American money line odds either&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;indicate the amount one needs to wager to win $100 or the amount one would win for every $100 staked.&nbsp;If the European odds are 3, the American odds are +200<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Water level<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWater level\u201d, known as \u201c\u6c34\u4f4d\u201d is a term commonly used Mandarin context. Water level and betting odds have similar meaning \u2013&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A favourite team with higher possibility to win, has a low water level, and low betting odds, too. An underdog team which the probability of winning is small, on the other hand to have a higher water level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say Team A has a water level of 2.0, Team B\u2019s is 1.8. If Team A wins, for every $100 they bet, the payout for winning the bet is $100; If Team B wins, for every $100 they bet, the payout for winning the bet is $80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The 5 Popular Types of Soccer Bets<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Total Goals Betting (Over\/Under Goals)<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Bet on the total number of goals in the match. If the bettor believes the total will be higher than the number offered, they can bet on the &#8220;Over&#8221; line, otherwise they can bet on the &#8220;Under&#8221; line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a game predicted to have a total of 2.5 goals, if 3 or more goals accumulated within the 90-minute game time, it is an Over Goals. Otherwise, an Under Goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Money Line Betting<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>A money line bet is the simplest and most straightforward wager in all of betting type.
