What “2 (+0.75)” Means in Football Betting
“2 (+0.75)” is a type of Asian Handicap (AH) bet on the away team.
- 2 = Away Team
- (+0.75) = Asian Handicap line
With +0.75 handicap, the away team starts the match with a 0.75 goal advantage.
This handicap is split into two lines:
- +0.5
- +1.0
So placing a bet on 2 (+0.75) means you are actually betting:
- Half of your stake on Away +0.5
- Half of your stake on Away +1.0
What You Win or Lose Depending on the Match Result
If the away team wins
You win the full bet
Because they already had +0.75 advantage.
If the match ends in a draw
You also win the full bet
Because with +0.5 or +1, the result becomes a win.
If the away team loses by exactly 1 goal
➖ You lose half of your stake
➖ The other half is refunded
Because:
- +0.5 → loses
- +1.0 → push (refund)
If the away team loses by 2 goals or more
You lose the full bet
Example Using Real Teams
Let’s use the match:
Manchester City vs Brentford
You choose: Brentford 2 (+0.75)
Scenario 1: Brentford wins 1–0
You win full bet.
Scenario 2: Draw 1–1
You win full bet.
Scenario 3: Brentford loses 2–1
You lose half your stake and half is refunded.
Scenario 4: Brentford loses 3–1
You lose full stake.
Why Bettors Use “2 (+0.75)”
This bet is used when:
- The away team is an underdog
- You believe they will keep the match tight, not lose heavily
- You want protection against losing small margins
Best Betting Tips for 2 (+0.75)
Target underdogs with strong defense
Teams that rarely lose by 2+ goals are great picks.
Use it in big matches
Examples:
- Brentford vs Man City
- Wolves vs Arsenal
- Torino vs Inter
Away teams fight harder and avoid big defeats.
Check team news
Missing defenders increase risk of big loss.
Check recent goal margins
If the away team typically loses by only one goal, (+0.75) is a good advantage.
Avoid when the home team has killer attack form
Example:
- Bayern Munich scoring 3–5 goals regularly
- Real Madrid on hot form at home
These teams blow underdogs away.
Use it for low-scoring leagues
Asian handicap works well in:
- Serie A
- Ligue 1
- Bundesliga mid-table matches
