What does Asian Handicap + 2.25 / – 2.25 Mean?
An Asian handicap +/-2.25 is a quarter line that starts off the favourite team on a deficit of 2.25 goals and the underdog on a surplus of the same number of goals. The idea behind the quarter line is that it constitutes an each-way bet that splits between two intervals. In other words, the 2.25 Asian handicap is a split bet between the 2 and 2.5 handicap lines.
Here’s an example for context:
If you were to bet £10 on Asian handicap 2.25, you’re actually betting £5 on 2 and £5 on 2.5. You get the full payout if both bets win, but you also get returns if only one margin wins. Draws are not a feasible outcome where Asian handicapping is concerned. So whenever the outcome is tied with the handicap line, it is considered a ‘push.’
Since this market allows you to split your stake on a team over two handicaps, you get an Alternative Asian Handicap (AAH) within the same bet.
What does -2.25 Asian Handicap Mean?
The handicap with the negative coefficient is the favourite team. A £10 bet on alternative Asian handicap -2.25 means:

Effectively each bet is calculated separately, and the possible outcomes are given below:
- If the team wins by 3 goals or more, both sides of the bet win.
- If the team wins by 2 goals, the -2.5 handicap loses, while the -2 handicap is a push, and half your bet is refunded.
- If the team wins by 1 goal, plays a draw or loses, both sides of the bet lose.
