Asian Handicaps are the most liquid betting markets in the world and a key market for Wagerr. Take a look to see just how they work.

Asian spreads/handicap betting is a form of betting on football in which teams are handicapped according to their form so that a stronger team must win by more goals for a punter betting on them to win. Most importantly, Asian handicap betting reduces the possible number of outcomes from three (in traditional 1X2 wagering) to two by eliminating the draw outcome. This simplification delivers two betting options that each have a near 50% chance of success.
What makes Asian handicaps most interesting is the use of quarter goals to get the "line" as close as possible. Quarter (¼) handicaps split the bet between the two closest ½ intervals. For instance, a $1000 bet with a handicap of +1¾ (+1.75) is the same as betting $500 at +1½ (+1.5) and $500 at +2.
