    Asian Handicap. Someone tell me where I am going wrong

    Ok, I placed a bet on which I thought was the asian handicap but according to Paddy power it's not.

    I placed the following:

    Football Matches
    International Friendlies
    Poland v France
    9th of Jun 2011 8:00 pm
    Handicap Betting
    Poland (+1.0)

    France beat Poland 1-0 therefore the bet should be void right?
    This is the explanation I got from Paddy Power,

    "I'm afraid that the handicap market in which you placed the bet had the option of the draw so if the result was 1-0, the winning bet would be the draw, not Poland."
    "I'm afraid it was not an Asian handicap,. The draw was one of the three options in the market I'm afraid."
    "Yes, and the result of that would have been a draw, not Poland to win (which was your bet)."


    Am I wrong here? Someone please explain.

    Thank you.

    Yeah, as soon as I posted, I knew the mistake I had made. Usually I'm very careful when placing bets, I thought this was the Asian handicap. Damn. Luckily it was only a small punt while I watched the game.

    Thanks man

    I remember once I did the same damn mistake!

    The problems they should write European Handicap I know the price is other than the one of the Asian Handicap but sometimes people can made mistakes!

    That is what I was thinking. It's still my mistake but it's confusing all the same. Live and learn and all that I guess.
