Asian handicap calculator
An Asian handicap adds goals to one team before the match is settled. Whole and half lines win, lose or refund; quarter lines such as −0.75 split the stake in two halves on the neighbouring lines, so a result can win or lose half the bet.
How the common lines settle
| Line on your team | Lose by 1 | Draw | Win by 1 | Win by 2 | Win by 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Loss | Refund | Win | Win | Win |
| -0.25 | Loss | Half loss | Win | Win | Win |
| -0.5 | Loss | Loss | Win | Win | Win |
| -0.75 | Loss | Loss | Half win | Win | Win |
| -1 | Loss | Loss | Refund | Win | Win |
| -1.25 | Loss | Loss | Half loss | Win | Win |
| -1.5 | Loss | Loss | Loss | Win | Win |
- A quarter line is two bets of half the stake: −0.75 is half on −0.5 and half on −1. Winning by one goal wins the −0.5 half and refunds the −1 half.
- A refunded half returns its stake; a half win pays that half at the full odds; a half loss loses only that half.
- Level ball (0) refunds a draw. +0.25 on your team wins half the bet on a draw.
