Two Key Odds Concepts You Should Know
Before choosing a market, there are two key concepts often used in sports betting. Understanding these helps you better assess the value of each option.
- Asian Handicap
- A type of bet where the stronger team is given a negative handicap (e.g. -0.5 goals) while the weaker team receives a positive handicap (+0.5 goals) to even out the betting.
- Example If you choose Team A at -0.75, they must win by at least one full goal for your bet to win outright.
- Over/Under (Total Goals)
- This market doesn’t require you to pick a winner. Instead, you predict whether the total number of goals scored will be over or under a set figure (e.g., 2.5 goals).
- Example If you choose Over 2.5 and the match ends 2-1, the total of 3 goals exceeds 2.5 — the Over bet wins.
