Look at the Results at the Asian Handicap Table
Below is an explanation for the most common Asian Handicap games, but the same principles apply to the other Asian Handicap games. That is, Asian Handicap -1.25 and Asian Handicap -3.25 follow the same principle except that there are different numbers of goals.
Asian handicap 0.0
Means the same as “Draw no bet” or as in Swedish, “the money back in a draw”. That is, no team gets a handicap advantage before a match, but this handicap is usually put before even matches. Very simple because Asian Handicap excludes a draw, you get the money back if the match ends with a draw. So for example, if you are betting on Manchester City to win against West Ham and they end up at draw, you get your money back.
Your team wins = Profit
Your team loses = Loss
Draw result = Stake back
Asian Handicap -0.25
Here there is a little more to think about. If you play on a team -0.25, that means you give them minus a “quarter ball” to start the game with. Which means that the team you are playing on should be a little stronger than their opponents but at the same time not strong enough to play straight wins. The game means you get half your stake back if the match ends in a draw.
Your team wins = Profit
Your team loses = Loss
Draw result = Half loss. Half the stake back
Asian Handicap -0.5
Here the match starts at -0.5, ie. The team you are playing must score at least one more goal than their opponents. If you play Asian Handicap -0.5, it means exactly the same as straight winnings. No more difficult than that. This game does not give you the opportunity to get any money back. Either you win the game or you lose.
Your team wins = Profit
Your team loses = Loss
Draw result = Loss
Asian handicap -0.75
By playing this game you believe that the team you are playing on will win the match with at least one goal. If your team wins with a goal, you get half the win for the game and if your team wins with more goals you get the whole win. The team you are playing on is your favorite and starts the game with a sub-score of -0.75. Should your team win by one goal, your bet is split in two. You win half your bet and get your other half back.
E.g. you bet $ 100 on a team with a handicap -0.75 to the odds of 2.00. If your team wins with a goal, you get back SEK 50, the remaining SEK 50 becomes a profit, and SEK 50 to the odds 2.00 becomes SEK 50 in profit.
Your team wins by two goals or more = Win
Your team wins by one goal = Win by half the bet. Second half of the bet back
Your team loses = Loss
Draw result = Loss
Asian handicap -1
The team you are playing on starts the match with a sub position of 0-1. Because Asian handicap excludes a draw, you get your entire bet back if your team wins the match with a goal. If you play this game, you believe that your team wins by more than one goal and you do not want to risk your bet if your team would only win by one goal.
Your team wins by two goals or more = Win
Your team wins by one goal = Stake back
Your team loses = Loss

Draw result = Profit on half the bet. Second half of the bet back.

The team you play at the beginning with a “half-ball” advantage. The draw result does not exist and you win the game if the match ends in a draw, and of course even if your team would win. The game is called “double chance” in the European market.
Your team wins = Profit
Your team loses = Loss
Draw result = Profit
