Asian handicaps are a form of betting used primarily in soccer that aims to level the playing field between two teams of differing abilities by giving a virtual advantage or disadvantage to one team. In this system, a "handicap" is applied to the final score of a match to eliminate the possibility of a draw, allowing for two possible outcomes for bettors. For example, if Team A has a -1 goal handicap against Team B, Team A must win by at least two goals for a bet on them to win; if they win by just one goal, the result is a push (refund), and if they draw or lose, the bet loses.
