Asian Handicap bets are a special type of Handicap bets for
soccer. Handicap bets and Asian
Handicap bets work exactly in the same way. The simple
difference between Handicap and Asian Handicap bets is that
Handicap bets allow for a draw outcome while Asian Handicap bets
do not allow for a draw. Should the game draw after the handicap
is added, all bets are cancelled and stakes refunded.
Example I - 0 or 1 goal handicap (draw option possible):
Chelsea v Arsenal - Asian 0:1 (Arsenal has a 1 goal head
start)
Full-time score: 2 - 1
Asian Handicap result: 2 - 2 (we add 1 goal for Arsenal)
The result of the Asian handicap bet is a draw - all stakes get
refunded.
Example II - ½ or 1½ goal handicap (draw option not possible):
Chelsea v Arsenal - Asian 0:1/2 (Arsenal has a 1/2 goal head
start)
Full-time score: 1 - 1
Asian Handicap result: 1 - 1.5 (we add 0.5 goals for Arsenal)
Arsenal wins the Asian Handicap bet even though the match was
actually a draw. |

Fixed odds is the most widespread type of betting. Your dividend is
fixed at the odds when you placed your bet. No matter how much
the odds fluctuate the odds at the time you placed your bet are
fixed and written on the ticket. Your dividend for winning is
paid at the value stated on your ticket, no matter what happens
after you have placed your bet. |

Spread betting is a form of
gambling on the outcome of any event where the more accurate the
gamble, the more is won and conversely the less accurate the
more is lost. A bet is made against a 'spread' (or index), on
whether the outcome will be above or below the spread. The
amount won or lost depends on the level of the index at the end
of the event. The spread represents the index firms' margin.
Unlike fixed odds betting the amount won or lost can be very
large, as there is no single stake to limit the maximum losses.
However, it is usually possible to place a "stop loss" with the
bookmaker, automatically closing your bet if the value of the
spread moves against you by a specified amount. "Stop wins" are
the opposite -- closing your bet when the spread moves in your
favour by a specified amount.
Example: In a soccer match between Liverpool and
Middlesbrough the
spread for corners is 12-13, the index firm believes there will
be 12 or 13 corners in total during the match. A bettor
approaches the firm with the belief that there will be more than
13 corners during the game, the bettor 'buys' at £25 a point at
13. If the final total of corners is 16 the bettor has won,
receiving 3 x £25. If the final total of corners is 10, the
bettor loses 3 x £25. A 'sell' transaction is similar except
made against the bottom value of the spread. Often there is live
pricing, which changes the spread during the course of an event
allowing a profit to be increased or a loss minimized. |
