Asian Handicap
Asian Handicap is, as the name suggests,
very popular in Asia and involves giving one team a handicap of
a number of goals.
Asian Handicap betting differs from fixed
odds betting in a number of ways but the one to remember is
that you have a higher chance of a return with the Asian Handicap
as you can only bet on two outcomes, the favourite or the underdog.
In fixed
odds you have three outcomes, home-draw-away.
Lets say that England were playing Germany. The handicaps given
to each team are as follows, England (-0.5), Germany (+0.5) which
basically means that the figure in the brackets is either added
(+) or subtracted (-) from that teams number of goals at the final
whistle. In this case England are the favourites as they may be
playing at home or have recently had much better results than their
opposition.

An example of an asian handicap split ball
Sometimes you will see bookmakers offering odds which have two handicaps and look similar to AC Milan (0,-0.5) v Inter (0,+0.5). These
odds are often referred to as split odds and basically half your stake goes on the first part of the odds (before the comma) and the other
half on the odds on the other side of the comma.
AC Milan (0,-0.5) v Inter (0,+0.5)
