<TABLE height=10 cellPadding=4 width="100%" border=0 <TR><TBODY><TR><TD style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; COLOR: #ffaaaa">Asian handicap</TD></TR><TR height=10><TD class=opisartykulu> Asian handicaps are one of most curious form of soccer bets. Among polish local bookmakers this theme crawling, however internet bookmakers have very wide offer.
Asian handicaps are alternative to traditional 1X2 betting. As name suggests, they comes from far east (Honkong, Singapour, Malasia) and slowly but successively are taking european markets. Asian handicaps has many advantages which boosts our chance.

First of all is possibility to invest our money only in two option choise. Therefore, we can take hosts victory or guests victory (excluding draw, that many players dislike).
Odds are next important things, in asian marked odds are from 1,7 to 2,3. It belongs under note by on comparision with traditional 1X2 market lower vigorish. This mentioned advantages cause that game brings us better results in long term play.

How it looks like in practice?

Before a match, handicap is given to weaker team. Let&#146;s take an example: Chelsea - Newcastle. . Cheslea is a fawourite before a game, and for alignment of chance, Newcastle get +0.5 goal handicap.
It is presented on internet site most often as:

Chelsea - Newcastle (+0,5) 1.95 - 1.95

For example match is finished result 1:1. After a match we add our handicap to score of a weaker team. So result of match is 1:1,5. Persons, who invest money in Newcastle win and they who invest in Chelsea are lost.
We have few hadicaps level: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5:
0, 0.5, 1 , 1.5 , 2, 2.5.

As it happens it can in some cases , that we have draw after addition handicap for result of match. For example if Newcastle had +1 handicap, and match would end for 2:1 result for Chelsea, then after adding a handicap we have 2:2. In that case stake are returned to players.

Bookmakers added to offer also more complicared handicaps, which are explained below:
0,25 ( 0 ; 0,5)
0,75 ( 0,5 ; 1)
1,25 ( 1 ; 1,5)
<LI>1,75 ( 1,5 ; 2)

In this handicap all operation are very similar. For example, in Arsenal - Chelsea we have +0.25 handicap:

Arsenal - Chelsea (+0,25) 1.95 - 1.95

If we put 10 units for Chelsea, we have two separates bets, for 5 units each:
Arsenal - Chelsea (+0) 1.95
Arsenal - Chelsea (+0,5) 1.95

They let's accept, that match is finished in a draw 1:1. In this case stake from first bet (+0 handicap) are returned and second bet is won. After addition +0.5 handicap we have 1:1,5 results.
