Reading Asian handicap odds:
Non-handicap odds [0:0, Draw or lose]
[0:0] odds imply that the bet is based on the actual result of the match, without any added odds. This type of bet is common in Europe, where all football matches are considered [0:0], with only varying odds.
When a stronger team wins against a weaker team, the payout will be lower. Conversely, when two evenly matched teams play, the odds will be higher.
Level ball/half ball handicap (0.25)
The upper team gives a handicap to the lower team. If you bet on the upper team and they win, you win the full amount. If the match ends in a draw, you lose half your stake. If the upper team loses, you lose the entire stake. The same rules apply if you bet on the lower team.
Half ball handicap (0.5)
The upper team gives a handicap to the lower team. If the upper team wins by one goal, you win half the stake. If the upper team wins by two or more goals, you win the full stake. If the match ends in a draw or the upper team loses, you lose the entire stake.
One ball handicap (1)
If the upper team wins by exactly one goal, the bet is void, and you will receive a refund. If the match ends in a draw or the upper team loses, you lose the entire stake. If the upper team wins by two or more goals, you win the full stake.
One and a quarter ball handicap (1.25)
If the upper team wins by one goal, you win half the stake. If the upper team wins by two or more goals, you win the full stake. If the match ends in a draw or the upper team loses, you lose the entire stake.

If the upper team wins by one or fewer goals, you lose the entire stake. If the upper team wins by two or more goals, you win the full stake.
