Whole Handicap (e.g., −1, +1, −2)\nA whole number handicap means the virtual goals added/removed result in an integer score. If the result after adjustment is exactly 0, your stake is refunded.

Half Handicap (e.g., −0.5, +0.5, −1.5, +1.5)\nA half handicap eliminates any possibility of a push (void bet). There is always a winner and a loser. These are the most popular Asian Handicap lines.

Quarter Handicap (e.g., −0.25, +0.25, −0.75, +0.75)\nQuarter handicaps are a combination of two bets. Your stake is split equally between the nearest whole and half handicap. For example, −0.75 = half of your stake on −0.5 and half on −1.

Line	Outcome if chosen team wins by exactly 1 goal
−0.5	Win
−1.0	Push (stake returned)
−1.5	Lose
−0.75	Win half, push half

1. Better odds than 1X2. By removing the draw outcome, bookmakers offer better odds on both sides. An Arsenal win at 1.65 in the 1X2 market might be 1.92 in the Asian Handicap −0 (level ball) market.

2. Lower bookmaker edge. AH markets typically have 2–4% overround vs. 5–8% for 1X2 — meaning more value for the bettor.

3. Insurance on the draw. Quarter handicaps on a −0.75 or +0.75 line provide partial insurance if your team wins by exactly one goal (or the opponent holds to a one-goal loss).

4. Better for data-driven bettors. Asian Handicap markets follow expected goal differentials closely — making them ideal for bettors using xG or AI models like OddsWiki.

Follow the xGoals differential. If OddsWiki's model gives Team A a +0.8 xGoals advantage over Team B, the most efficient bet is typically Team A on the Asian Handicap around −0.5 to −0.75, depending on odds.

Look for AH line discrepancies. If your model suggests a −1.5 AH is correctly priced but the −1 AH offers significant value, take the better price for more coverage.

Avoid heavy favourites at −2.5 or higher. The variance of football means a −2.5 handicap loses frequently even for dominant teams. Reserve these for exceptional mismatches.

Use AH for away underdogs. Asian Handicap +1 for a solid defensive away team is one of the highest-value bet types in the market — especially in leagues where home advantage is diminishing.
