praizsportsIf you’re into Asian handicap betting, it’s good to know which teams are most likely to cover the spread. We’ve put together a ranking of teams that have a strong record in matches where the Asian handicap bet was successful.
You can look at the stats by continent, and you can also check for home or away games. The table below shows how often these teams covered the handicap for -0.5, -1.5, and -2.5 goals.
What Do These Handicaps Mean?
- -0.5 Handicap: If you bet on a team with a -0.5 handicap, they need to win the match by at least 1 goal for your bet to win.
- -1.5 Handicap: Here, your team needs to win by at least 2 goals.
- -2.5 Handicap: Your team must win by at least 3 goals for your bet to be correct.
Example:
Let’s say you bet on Barcelona with a -1.5 handicap. For your bet to win, Barcelona has to beat their opponent by 2 or more goals. If they only win by 1 goal or the match ends in a draw, the bet loses.
It’s a bit different from traditional betting because it eliminates the possibility of a draw, leaving only two outcomes: a win or a loss. Here’s a simple guide to help you understand how it works.
The Basics of Asian Handicap
In Asian handicap betting, the favorite team is given a disadvantage (a negative handicap) to level the playing field, while the underdog gets an advantage (a positive handicap). This is represented by a plus (+) or minus (-) symbol next to the team’s name.
There are several types of handicaps, often called “lines,” that you can bet on. Let’s break down some common examples.
Asian Handicap 0.0
Example: Chelsea @1.90 vs Liverpool @1.95
You bet £100 on Chelsea with a 0.0 Asian handicap:
- If Chelsea wins, you win your bet.
- If the match ends in a draw, you get your £100 back.
- If Chelsea loses, you lose your bet.
This type of bet is sometimes referred to as “Draw No Bet” or “Level Ball.”
Asian Handicap -0.25 (0.25 Handicap)
Example: Monaco @2.00 vs Lyon @1.90
You bet £100 on Monaco with a -0.25 handicap:
- If Monaco wins, you win your bet.
- If the match is a draw, you lose half your stake (£50), and the other half (£50) is refunded.
- If Monaco loses, you lose your full bet.
Alternatively, you bet £100 on Lyon with a +0.25 handicap:
- If Lyon wins, you win your bet.
- If the match ends in a draw, you get half your stake back and win the other half at 1.90 odds, making a small profit.
- If Lyon loses, you lose your bet.
Asian Handicap -0.5 (0.5 Handicap)
Example: Porto @1.85 vs Benfica @2.00
You bet £100 on Porto with a -0.5 handicap:
- If Porto wins, you win your bet.
- If the match ends in a draw or Porto loses, you lose your bet.
Alternatively, you bet £100 on Benfica with a +0.5 handicap:
- If Benfica wins or the match ends in a draw, you win your bet.
- If Benfica loses, you lose your bet.
Asian Handicap -0.75 (0.75 Handicap)
Example: Betis @1.90 vs Real Madrid @1.90
You bet £100 on Betis with a +0.75 handicap:
- If Betis wins or the match ends in a draw, you win your bet.
- If Betis loses by one goal, you lose half your stake (£50), and the other half (£50) is refunded.
- If Betis loses by two or more goals, you lose your full bet.
Alternatively, you bet £100 on Real Madrid with a -0.75 handicap:
- If Madrid wins by two or more goals, you win your bet.
- If Madrid wins by one goal, you win half your stake and get the other half refunded, making a small profit.
- If the match ends in a draw or Madrid loses, you lose your bet.
