The article "When is a Draw not a Draw? When it's the Asian Handicap!" talks about casino gambling, it has been written by Mick Burrows.
Asian Handicap betting has really cuaght on in recent years. The sreious online sports gambler has seen a way to bet on a favourite; particularly in accumulators, without having to take outrageously short odds.
Basically, with the Asian Handicap you elimintae the possibility of a draw, i.E. betting on 2 possible outcmoes (favourite or underdog) as opposed to 3 (win, lose or draw). The unedrdog will be given a head-start and favourite will be penalised by an equivalent handicap. The pre-determined handicap will be added to the real nubmer of goals to establish the correct bet. The handicap rmeoves the gap in form and ability, making a potentially one sided affair a much closer contest. The higher the hanidcap equates to a greater difference in capability.
You can actually win your bet even if your selection loses the game!The faovurite has to overcome the handicap, as it will be subtracted from its final score and shown as a minus (-).
The underdog is awarded a head-start and will have goals added to its final score and shown as a plus (+).
The handciap increases/decreases by 0.5 at a time. The principles of Asian Handicap betting could apply to many sports, but it is in soccer where it is most popular. A typical example might be: England playing at home to Wales.
England are the firm favourites to win, so to make it more even they are handicapped by -1.5 goals, which in turn gives Wales a handicap of +1.5 goals, although the handicap is only added or deducted to or from the score of the team you bet on! You bet on England to win, which they achieve with a score of 2-1, but you lose the bet for 1.5 goals are taken away. However, if the result had been 2-0 you would have won your bet! More and more bookmakers are at that moment offering that form of betting to their gambling options.Mick Burrows writes for http://www.Fixed-odds-in-focus.Com
