An ‘Asian Handicap’ bet is a virtual addition/subtraction to the final score of a game. Whatever your selection, you must apply that specific handicap to the final score, if your selection wins after applying the handicap, your bet is a winner.
Example:
Selection – Sunderland +1.5
Result of game – Sunderland 2 Burnley 2
Apply the handicap – Sunderland 3.5 Burnley 2 = Winning bet
Example:
Selection – Sunderland -1.5
Result of game – Sunderland 2 Burnley 2
Apply the handicap – Sunderland 0.5 Burnley 2 = Losing bet
