In Asian Handicaps, a "-" denotes the favourite, & "+" denotes the underdog.

With an Asian Handicap, one team (usually) has a "virtual" start which is a fraction (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 etc) of one goal.

In effect, with Asian Handicaps, there are only TWO outcomes to a football match - win or lose. It's a bit like Spread Betting in many ways.


Here's a brief explanation of Asian Handicaps.

Except of course that a spread market is fluid and therefore you can mitigate potential losses or lock in a profit by closing your position. Similar to trading in and out on an exchange. Not sure if Asian Handicaps or any handicap bet can be traded in running.
