What is a 1/4 handicap bet?

A 1/4 handicap bet, also known as a level ball or half-goal handicap, is a common type of bet in online football betting.

A 1/4 handicap means that the team with the handicap is given a slight advantage over the opposing team. If you bet on the team with the handicap, you will win if that team wins the match. If the match ends in a draw, you will lose half of your stake. If the team with the handicap loses, you will lose your entire stake. The same applies in reverse if you bet on the team without the handicap.

What is Asian handicap?

Asian handicap, also known as handicap betting, is used to express the difference in strength between two football teams. This type of bet is widely chosen by many people. The team with the handicap (the upper team) is considered stronger, while the team without the handicap (the lower team) is considered weaker. The purpose of this handicap ratio is to ensure fairness in football betting.

The Asian handicap is valid for the duration of the match, including any additional stoppage time, but it does not include extra time or penalty shootouts. The bookmaker may also offer other types of handicap bets during the match, such as Asian handicap for the first half, second half, or extra time.

In a 1/4 handicap situation:

If you place a 1/4 handicap bet and the match ends in a draw, you will lose half of your stake if you bet on the upper team, while the person betting on the lower team will win half of their stake.
