What is Asian Total in Football Betting?
The Asian Total (also called Asian Over/Under Goals) is a betting market where you predict the number of goals scored in a match – but with Asian Handicap rules applied.
Unlike the standard Over/Under market, the Asian Total allows for quarter goals (0.25, 0.75, 1.25, etc.), which means you can:
- Win fully
- Lose fully
- Win half / Lose half (if the total goals land right on the quarter line)
How Asian Total Works
- Over/Under 2.0 Goals
- If exactly 2 goals → Bet is refunded (Push).
- 3+ goals → Over wins.
- 0–1 goals → Under wins.
- Over/Under 2.25 Goals (split into 2.0 and 2.5)
- If 2 goals → Half-loss for Over, Half-win for Under.
- 3+ goals → Over wins.
- 0–1 goals → Under wins.
- Over/Under 2.75 Goals (split into 2.5 and 3.0)
- If 3 goals → Over wins half, Under loses half.
- 4+ goals → Over wins fully.
- 0–2 goals → Under wins fully.
Example with Real Teams
Imagine a Premier League match: Liverpool vs Tottenham

- If the game ends Liverpool 2–1 Tottenham (3 goals) → Full Win.
- If it ends Liverpool 1–1 Tottenham (2 goals) → Half Loss.
- If it ends Liverpool 3–0 Tottenham (3 goals) → Full Win.
- You bet Under 2.25 Goals:
- If it ends Liverpool 1–0 Tottenham (1 goal) → Full Win.
- If it ends Liverpool 1–1 Tottenham (2 goals) → Half Win.
- If it ends Liverpool 2–1 Tottenham (3 goals) → Full Loss.
Why Bettors Like Asian Totals
