Asian Handicap – Football Market on Msport

INTRODUCTION 

In football betting, some matches can feel predictable because one team may be far stronger than the other, making the available odds reflect that imbalance. The Asian Handicap market solves this by creating a level ground between both teams. It assigns a virtual advantage or disadvantage in goals before kick-off, making the game more balanced and the betting more strategic.

Asian Handicap focuses on goal margins. The stronger team (favorite) starts with a negative handicap (e.g., -1.5), while the weaker team (underdog) starts with a positive one (e.g., +1.5).
This means your bet doesn’t just depend on who wins, but by how many goals they win or lose.

For example, if you bet on the favorite at -1.5, they must win by at least two goals margin for your bet to succeed. On the other hand, if you pick the underdog at +1.5, your bet wins as long as they don’t lose by more than one goal margin.

This market is popular because it reduces the risk of a draw and offers fairer odds across both sides, giving bettors more control and value in their predictions.
 

 

HOW IT WORKS 

Here’s how the Asian Handicap operates:

 

• Positive Handicap (+) The underdog gets a virtual head start.

1. Example: +0.5 means they begin with a 0.5 goal advantage.
   +0.5 Handicap: The team must win or draw. A loss means bet loses.
2. Example: +1.5 means they begin with a 1.5 goal advantage.
   +1.5 Handicap: The team can lose by up to 1 goal. Losing by 2 or more = bet loses.
    

• Negative Handicap (–)  The favorite starts with a virtual goal deficit.

1. Example: -0.5 means they must win by a margin of 1 or more goals to cover the handicap.
   –0.5 Handicap: The team must win the match. A draw or loss = bet loses.
2. Example: -1.5 means they must win by a margin of 2 or more goals to cover the handicap. Winning by exactly 1 means bet loses.

Each handicap represents how many goals are added or subtracted from a team’s final score to determine the betting result.

This structure eliminates the “draw” option in most cases, making outcomes simpler: your bet either wins or loses based on the adjusted score line.

QUICK SETTLEMENT INSIGHTS 
 

If your bet was on Home -1.5, your team must win by a margin of two or more goals (e.g., 3–1, 2–0) for your bet to win.
 

If they win 1–0 or draw, your bet loses.
 

If your bet was on Home +1.5, your team can lose 2–1 or draw, your bet still wins because the +1.5 advantage keeps them ahead after adjustment.
 

 

Once your bet has been confirmed "SUCCESSFUL" you can monitor it under "MY BETS."
