What does Asian Handicap +0.75 / -0.75 Mean?

An Asian handicap +/-0.75 is a quarter line handicap that starts off the favourite team on a deficit of 0.75 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 0.75 Asian handicap is a split bet between the 0.5 and 1 handicap lines.

Here’s an example for context:

If you were to bet £10 on Asian handicap 0.75, you’re actually betting £5 on 0.5 and £5 on 1. 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.
