The hottest market for sports betting by professional audience is also one of the most complex, so many beginners in sports betting will have doubts about how the Asian handicap works in particular. Because Asian lines are really confusing. It is a more complex market and needs a more adequate study to understand. However, by far it is the most valuable and important market in sports betting.
 
Known as the professional market, the Asian handicap or handicap holds several striking particularities. Since it gives you more interesting and more competitive betting options. Even the question of giving you greater betting limits.
 
 

What is the Asian handicap for?

 
The Asian handicap market balances the events, giving more interesting odds for the possibilities. It is a market that aims to create greater difficulty, equaling the chances of those possible events occurring. Even if they were different possibilities.
 
In a simple example, in the Champions League clash between Liverpool and Porto. Liverpool's victory in England pays about 1.33 in odds. That gives Liverpool all the favoritism. At the same time, it makes more conscious bets impossible for Liverpool to win, due to the low odds.
 
In this way, a goal difference is created between Liverpool and Porto, where Liverpool start the match at a disadvantage. In this specific case, this disadvantage is 1.5 goals. That is, if you bet on the starting line of the game in favor of Liverpool, you would need Liverpool to win the match by 2 goals difference or more in this -1.5 handicap. In this example Porto start the match by winning by 1.5 goals and if Liverpool cannot win by more than 1 goal, you would lose the bet.
