Ties are common in the game of Soccer, and with traditional fixed odds, are treated as an additional outcome to the game – bettors lose when they place a bet on either team to win and the game ends in a draw.

Ties are eliminated with the Asian Handicap system by the use of a handicap that forces a winner. Each team has a 50-50 chance of winning which is similar to the odds for a baseball or basketball game where ties are impossible.

Asian Handicaps start at a quarter goal (0.25) and can go as high as 2.5 or 3 goals in matches with a huge disparity in ability between competing teams. By using quarter goals, the handicap gets as close as possible.

An example of how the system works: Team A vs. Team B. Team A has a 0 handicap while Team B has a 1.5 handicap. This means that Team B is starting the game with a 1.5 goal lead. If the final score of the game is Team A 2, Team B 1, then a bet on Team B wins because the final score, with the handicap figured in, is Team B 2.5, Team A 2.

Handicaps that are whole numbers, 1, 2, etc., still allow bets to be refunded in the case of the match ending in a draw once the handicap is figured in.
