Handicap

Handicap – means the advantage given to the weak side in the confrontation with the second side. This is done so that the bet on the result has gained value. More specifically, the odds for the stronger side to win become low and, as a result, meaningless due to the difference in performance and class.

The best bookmakers in Asia use the Asian handicap, while the traditional ones use the standard one. Therefore, it is worth understanding how both betting options work and what is the difference between them.

Types of advantages of the European system:

• zero – this is a handicap that nullifies any advanta
• half – assigning the index x,5 to the result;
• complete – assigning an integer value to the outcome of the event.ges;

European vs Asian system

The difference between the Asian system is that the handicap is introduced in the ¼ and ¾ finals, that is, the bet is divided into two parts.

The added value in the fourth handicap ends with 0.25 at the outcome, that is, half the bet is applied against the previous integer value of the number. For example, a handicap: team A against team B. If team B wins, both parts of the bet, multiplied by the odds, win. If team A, then both bets are considered losers. And if there is a draw, the lower part of the bet is returned, and the upper part is considered winning and is paid multiplied by the coefficient. ¾ handicaps are assigned a value that ends in 0.75. The next full integer value applies to the top half and the previous handicap of 0.50 applies to the bottom half.

Goal difference adds additional categories to the value of 1xx and above. In them, the division of bets can lead to the loss of one part and the gain of the other, or to the winning of both parts. Or to compensate for one part of the loss of another. Advantages The Asian handicap gives more chances of winning, that is, not every bet can be a loser. If you study the table of options for possible outcomes, then it follows that both parts of the bet win 50%, both sides lose 25%, the refund of one bet is 25%, and the other loses. The last 25% return of a portion of the original bet is what matters.
