[00:00] winning Asian handicap betting strategy is reliant  on a few simple factors executed well I'll explain   what Asian handicap betting is how it works a  successful betting strategy and where to apply   it along with some simple examples and results  within this video it's far simpler than you   [00:16] might think as you'll see in a second but first  I need to explain how it works so everyone will   understand clearly jumping ahead just leads  to confusion understanding the what and why   [00:28] is way more useful than just giving out football  betting tips is you can identify opportunities   and value for yourself plus more often than  not betting odds change while we look at them   [00:40] thank you so for context Asian handicap betting  is a type of football bet that aims to give   the player a more attractive bet in price and  additional options with their bet especially when   [00:52] there's a match between two unevenly priced teams  it appears a bit daunting at first but really it's   incredibly simple it works like this if Liverpool  are playing Bournemouth then a price of 1.245 so   [01:06] Liverpool is quite unappealing punters may want to  back them but a winning return of 24.50 for every   100 staked just isn't much profit Asian handicap  betting resolves this by applying a handicap   [01:19] figure to a team in doing this it eliminates  the draw and brings the alternate odds closer   together betting odds are a reflection of  probability lower the odds the higher the   chance an event happening so the handicap just  balances things out using our example between   [01:36] Liverpool and Bournemouth Liverpool might  have an Asian handicap of minus 1.5 goals   a price of 1.67 this means that Liverpool are  starting the match with a disadvantage in the   [01:49] betting making their price bigger however they  must win by at least two goals for the BET to   win in this situation if the match ends in a draw  or Liverpool lose the bet is also the loser this   [02:02] is known as a single Asian handicap bet the more  extreme the handicap margin the bigger the betting   price bid comes for example if we select the 2.5  handicap line instead the price is 2.621 now you   [02:17] may have noticed the 0.5 figure ensures our bet is  either a winner or a loser if the Asian handicap   line is set at a whole number such as -1 and  the handicap team go on to win by exactly one   [02:30] goal the bet is void much like draw no bet and  finally there's an additional variation called   quarter Asian handicaps or split handicaps as  they sometimes referred to they're represented of   [02:42] numbers like 0.25 0.75 1.25 and so forth quarter  gold handicaps split your bet into two bears each   with a different handicap for example when you bet  on a team with a plus 0.25 handicap half of your   [02:59] bet is placed on the level handicap of zero goals  and half on the 0.5 goal line so if the match ends   in a draw the bet at the zero line is returned  well the half bet at 0.5 wins however if your   [03:15] team loses you lose both halves of your bet just  see how the analytics chart looks different here   over on the right similarly if you bet on a team  with a 0.75 handicap half of your bet is placed at   [03:28] the 0.5 line and half on the plus one if the team  loses by one goal the half of your stake at the   plus one goal line is returned well half stakes at  the 0.5 loses however if your team draws or wins   [03:41] them match both halves of you bet win so depending  on the match result you can win both bets lose   both or get a refund on one while winning or  losing the other it just adds more nuance and   [03:54] flexibility to your bet spicing things up in  terms of the potential returns in the process   if that's confused you keep an eye on the simple  chart explaining the different outcomes here over   on the right of the screen so now everyone's in  the picture let's take a look at Asian handicap   [04:09] betting strategy as with any form of betting you  have to get value to win over the longer term   to do that you need to get the best odds without  your betting Stakes being restricted which is why   [04:21] betting agent is the go-to for this example their  product black offers the best prices from the shop   of sports books and exchanges in the world think  of it as a single point of access for getting the   best betting odds which is useful because we must  get a positive expected value on our football bet   [04:37] in order to win over the longer term if you're  unfamiliar with positive EV is explained in our   previous upload football knowledge team news and  metrics like expected goals are useful variables   [04:50] when it comes to finding a value bet focusing  on changing information as it happens is the   quickest way to find some definable betting value  the prices on Premier League matches like this one   often change a lot in the final hour to kick off  especially when the opening lineup is different   [05:06] to the Public's General expectation when that  happens it's the fastest finger first another   tip is to compare Asian handicap odds with the  draw no bet lines on the exchange occasionally   there's an Arbitrage opportunity the trick is to  back the Asian handicap line when the odds are   [05:22] overpriced representing value so in this example  I'm back in Brentford on a 0.5 goal handicap for   50 euros a price of 2.71 you can see we stand to  win 85.50 or lose 50 depending on the different   [05:38] outcomes from there we have two options we'll  run through them both here on the screen first   we can monitor the betting Line's price and  potential outcomes via the black platform the   [05:51] data is consistently updated in real time and  betting Asia's grid tool shows us what should   happen for all of the different potential outcomes  as the goals are scored and the prices change for   example here a one all draw makes our bet a loser  whereas a three-nil victory to Brentford gives us   [06:07] 85.50 in profit Asian handicaps are extremely  popular on BET in Asia and they welcome winners   so there's great potential to get decent Stakes  on without restrictions if you want to instantly   cash out your bet at the current price they have  the functionality for it by clicking here on the   [06:24] screen now Cash Out works by placing a second  bet against the original outcome so the cash   out figure is dictated by the current betting  price so Yuan whistle scored for Brentford in   the 44th minute drastically changing the odds  of our bet looking at the analytics grid you   [06:39] can see that the cash out figure on the Asian  handicap it has now changed to around 36 Euro   profit but as the game progresses the Oz will  contract further in our favor unless there's a   [06:52] counter goal from Fuller so if we want to we can  set a predetermined Cash Out bet at custom modes   here on the BET slip by setting a timeout figure  the bet is canceled if it isn't matched within   the time frame ideal for set and forget trading  strategies now in this instance it's almost half   [07:08] time so I'm cashing out for 36.37 profit depending  on how you want to play it all the functionality   is there to trade Sports directly from betin  Asia interface works the same on mobile too [07:23] second option is to take a longer term view on  the initial value instead of cashing out you'll   need to keep better results around historical  performance although it doesn't require you   to be at the screen while a match is in play it's  what's known as positive EV betting strategy last   [07:39] week's video explains where and when these  opportunities crop up so check it out now
