Alright — let’s break down (-0.75) Asian Handicap in soccer betting step-by-step, with examples so it’s crystal clear.
1. What (-0.75) Asian Handicap Means
When you bet (-0.75), you are betting that your team will win, but with a handicap that’s between -0.5 and -1.0 goals.
Your stake is split equally into two bets:
- Half of your stake on -0.5 handicap (team must win for you to win).
- Half of your stake on -1.0 handicap (team must win by 2+ goals for a full win; winning by 1 goal gives you a half win).
2. The Logic
- This handicap removes the draw option (no push except for the -1.0 half).
- If your team fails to win, you lose.
- If your team wins by exactly 1 goal, you win half your stake and get the other half refunded.
- If your team wins by 2+ goals, you win full stake.
- If your team draws or loses, you lose your entire stake.
3. Breakdown of Outcomes
| Result | (-0.75) Bet Outcome |
|---|---|
| Team wins by 2+ goals | Full Win (both halves of the bet win) |
| Team wins by 1 goal | Half Win (win -0.5 half, refund -1.0 half) |
| Draw | Loss (both halves lose) |
| Team loses | Loss (both halves lose) |
4. Example 1
You bet $100 on Chelsea (-0.75) vs. Everton at odds 1.90.
Your $100 is split:
- $50 on Chelsea -0.5 at 1.90
- $50 on Chelsea -1.0 at 1.90
Scenario A – Chelsea wins 3-1 (by 2 goals)
Both – 0.5 and -1.0 bets win
Profit = $100 × (1.90 – 1) = $90 profit.
Scenario B – Chelsea wins 2-1 (by 1 goal)
-0.5 wins: $50 × (1.90 – 1) = $45 profit
-1.0 a push: $50 refunded
Total profit = $45.
Scenario C – Chelsea draws 1-1
Both bets lose → $100 loss.
Scenario D – Chelsea loses 0-1
Both bets lose → $100 loss.
5. Betting Tip
(-0.75) is often used when:
- You believe your team will win, but there’s some chance it might only be by 1 goal.
- You want better odds than (-0.5) but slightly less risk than (-1.0).
