    It's a loss, try not play with 3 way betting unless know what it is...

    Although a draw result is found in Asian handicap betting as well, it is completely different from the EH. When you place a wager on a -1 Asian Handicap bet, if the favorite wins by one goal, you’ll get your money back, as the bet is considered a “push”.


    On the other hand, if you place a -1 European Handicap bet and your team wins by a single goal, then you will lose your bet. That is because in Euro handicap betting you can’t get your stake back. The only way you could have won that bet, would be if you had placed a “draw” bet, where you expected a one goal margin win by the favorite. This option does not exist in Asian Handicap, given that it’s a 2-way bet.

    The only way it should not be a push is if it was a 3-way line ... exactly as Swords described it above. 2 way lines push on a +3

    Its a loss as there is clearly a draw option. Same thing happened to me although it was in a parlay that lost anyway so it didnt end up mattering.

    That said intertops customer service blows.

    1. Where do you even go to find this bs line?

    2. If +3 push is listed, obviously you lost

    HOWEVER, this doesnt change the fact its a shitty line and we need the official intertops rules.

    3. If it is not specifically listed in the rules that its EUROPEAN HANDICAP (not just alternative), then you should get your money back but expect to be shown the door

    All books have a section explaining the different betting options, especially for soccer. So this is covered. And it's understood, at least by those who know what they're betting, that a 3-way line in soccer is European handicap. Two-way lines are Asian and labeled as such. Bottom line, if there is a draw option then it's Euro, if not it's Asian. Not that complicated. Screenshots from Intertops, tomorrows Portugal/Morocco match:

    Ummm...it seems you still don't "get" it...your screenshot shows a draw option meaning it's a European handicap. That second screenshot indeed shows an Asian handicap. I just checked and they do sometimes have a +0.75 Asian handicap...which can never end in a complete push. There are no full asian handicaps posted for any soccer game at Intertops.

    What do you mean I don't get it? I'm not a fuk'n newbie, I bet soccer damn near every day, I more than get it. I know what I posted, one Euro and one Asian, to show the difference. Quarter, half, full goal, doesn't matter. Asian handicap is Asian handicap. I didn't quote you to bust your balls, was merely showing they do offer Asian odds.

    I think they normally offer AH lines for soccer

    I can't seem to find it explicitly stated anywhere on their site that it's a European line and not a bunch of Asian lines

    Yes, Euro style is their default. And the Asian lines are marked as such. I missed what you were you saying about them not hanging full push AH lines first time.

    3 sites lol. This thread would not even exist in an European betting forum.

    Everything intertops did was alright. Alfa explained it already properly.

    No, that's not right. Pre-market yes, but inplay there are some square books like marathonbet or 1xbet that do NOT count from an imaginary 0-0 like it's common sense. They consider the whole scoreline.

    But you can see it based on the odds.
