Asian handicap

A football market that removes the draw by applying a goal handicap to one team, expressed in fractions or quarters (e.g. −0.5, −1.0, −1.25). A team with −1.5 must win by 2+ goals for the bet to land. Quarter-line handicaps (e.g. −0.25) split the stake across two adjacent handicaps. Lower overround than 1X2 because there are effectively two outcomes, not three.
