For many football bettors, Asian handicap is no longer a strange concept. The number of people participating in this type of betting and winning money at the end of the match is very large every day. In the following article, 30JILI will analyze in detail this popular type of bet as well as some effective betting methods.
Asian Handicap – Brief Introduction
This is a type of bet that is quite popular in the football betting market today. It is also known by other common names such as handicap, over/under. Compared to the Over/Under or 1×2 betting form, it can be said that Asian handicap is more complicated.
Therefore, to win, players must know the skills of statistics, analysis, and assessment of matches proficiently. However, this is the characteristic attraction that attracts players to participate in this type of bet more and more rapidly.
This form of betting is applied to matches with 2 teams that are assessed to have a difference in strength and performance. At this time, the bookmaker will give the handicap ratio between the upper and lower teams. Players will research and choose the bet that is assessed to have the highest winning rate and place a bet.
Asian Handicap – Some popular odds
To help new players better understand this popular type of bet, we will introduce and analyze some odds that often appear in current matches. These are:
Even bet
- For the equal handicap, the bookmaker will evaluate the strength of the two teams as equal. We can give specific examples of the cases that will occur in the match between Kocaelispor and Bodrum Belediyesi Bodrumspor in the Turkish First Division:
- You bet 100k on Kocaelispor, if they win, you will receive a reward at a rate of 0.99.
- If this match ends in a draw, the player will get their capital back.
- Bit 100k on Bodrum, if they win, you will also receive a reward at a rate of 0.85.
Handicap 0.25 in Asian handicap
- You will see the handicap of 0.25 on the 30JILI bookmaker’s odds board with the symbol 0/0.5. This type of bet will have 3 possible cases and players must understand how to read it to easily win money. Specifically, in the match between Al Faisaly Harmah and Jeddah Club in the Saudi Arabian First Division, there is an odds board:
- If Jeddah Club wins, users who bet on them will be rewarded at the exact rate of 1: 0.81.
- When the result is a draw with any goal, players who bet on Al Faisaly Harmah will lose half of their capital. If you bet on Jeddah Club, you will only get half of the bonus.
- If Al Faisaly Harmah wins the match, members who bet on them will also get rewarded at the rate of 1.03.
Asian Handicap – 0.5 Handicap
This is the type of bet where the upper team accepts the lower team by 0.5 goals, meaning the difference in strength is not too big. Normally, this ratio will appear in the first half handicap and the winning rate is relatively high. For example, in the case of Sporting Braga and Leixoes, we have the following odds:
If you bet on Sporting Braga, if they win, the player will also receive a bonus of 1.07. That is, if you bet 100k, the member will receive 107k in bonus money (excluding capital).
If you bet on Leixoes, when they win, the bettor will also receive a bonus at a rate of 0.77. On the contrary, if you invest in Sporting Braga, you will lose your capital.
In the case of a draw of 0-0, 2-2, or any other case, only those who invest in Leixoes will win.
Note: For this type of bet, there will be no case of winning or losing half the money like some other handicap odds. Therefore, the player’s ability to win big if he knows how to choose the correct bet is very high.
Some tips to play Asian handicap to win big easily
Through the above research, we can see that playing handicap requires good analytical and thinking skills to ensure a high winning rate. Below, 30JILI will present some secrets shared by many experts when betting on this type of bet that is easy to win:
For the even-ball bet, players can prioritize placing money on the home team (even if they are the underdog). Because in reality, they have a psychological advantage while the difference in strength is very small, so the chance of winning will be higher.
If the reward rate of the 0.25 handicap increases but the 1×2 bet is inclined toward a draw (the draw has the lowest odds), you should also prioritize the home team.
Observing that the European handicap does not fluctuate much but the handicap odds decrease, the away team will have a higher chance of winning.
In the case where the handicap odds decrease sharply before the match but recover when the ball rolls, it means that the favorite team will have a hard time winning. At this time, bettors should invest in the underdog to have a greater chance of winning.
In matches where the home team is the underdog with a handicap of 0.25 or 0.5, you should bet on them.
Asian handicap is a popular form of football betting and is very popular today. To participate in this bet successfully, players need to understand how to read and understand each type of handicap and carefully analyze the odds.
