Team w/ the asian handicap are the play

[MY BUM]

Can somebody please explain how this asian handicap works? It looks like you can't get screwed by a tie. I am quite good at soccer and went 5-6 this past weekend taking CHE -$600 RMA -$220 AJAX -$ 380 BARC - $350 LYON -$350 ARS -$330. I have only bet with BOS and THE GREEK which don't offer asian lines so I am totally in the dark on this.BARC and AC gonna win CHMP LGE tues/wed.

Heres an example. Take England League 1 match between Bradford v Carlisle.

I played Bradford -0,25 or 0,00 and -0,50.

What this means is that if Bradford wins i get credited with full win. if they tie i only lose half my stake which would be $42. If they lose all my stake of $82 is lost.

Another example is ok lets say you play on a team at +0,75 or +0,50 and +1,00. if the dog you played on ties you win full stake if they lose by 1 goal exactly you only lose half stake. if they lose by 2 or more you lose full stake.

Hope this helps some

0:0 handicap same as 0,00
1/4 handicap same as 0,25
1/2 handicap same as 0,50
3/4 handicap same as 0,75
and so on. I just prefer using odds the latter makes it easier for most to read and understand

Thanks for the explanation ODDS. I checked out the past lines that were up on the expert picks (I noticed I was in good company on my ARSENAL loss as all 4 experts also picked them) I feel that my money line betting better suits me because I generally choose to bet on the biggest mismatches that I can find and soccer games are won by 1 goal quite often and I am not comfortable giving up goals.Take for instance CHELSEA which I won on the M/L with.Well on the asian line I would have had to give up a goal and a quarter and would have lost.I have no problem risking large amounts of money for a smaller amount won,or I can parlay 2 together for a better payout.

Sounds good. I will roll the dice with these. Good luck to us.

Boston has moved to +.5. Is there any concern?

i'm trying with very small stakes
draw roma - Shakhtar @ 3,8
draw psv- pool @3,25
draw olympiak.-valen. @ 3,25

one should go through

What's the point of .25 line, vs .5?

[InSpades]

What's the point of .25 line, vs .5?

.25 is a double line. pk and +.5. Half the wager is placed on pk and half is put on +.5. It is called +.25 because it is in the middle of the two.

What's the point of .25 line, vs .5?

with 0.25 you are winning or losing just the half

like +0,25 odds 2 stake 10
if match finishes 0:0
you win 5

+0,5 odds 2 stake 10
result: 0:0
you win 10

[rolemand]

Oh. that makes sense. Thanks

[MY BUM]

Thanks for the link NASDAQ.I ended up putting $200 on BARCELONA and AC MILAN to win $78.16.So i'm half way there.I don't know what the payout would have been on the asian line.

[Odds-Hunter]

well lousy day overall.

3-4 -36

For those able to get Boston +1/2 congrats on the full win. Should have made for a positive day if all plays were played for these amounts.
