What are Asian Lines?
Asian Lines are a specific type of spread bet that adds an exciting layer to betting, offering different strategies and outcomes. A spread means that one team has a "virtual lead" over the other side for the purpose of the bet. Asian Spreads also eliminate the chance of a tie in a match, giving you a unique way to bet on your favorite team!
What types of Asian Spreads are available?
There are a variety of Asian Spreads available under the Asian Lines section for most events:
-
Whole Lines
-
Half Lines
-
Quarter/Split Lines
What is the difference between Whole, Half, and Split lines?
-
Whole Line - the "virtual lead" is represented as +/- a whole number
-
Half Line - the "virtual lead" is represented with +/- 0.5,1.5, etc.
-
Quarter or Split Line - is a combination of both whole and half lines
How do Whole Line Asian Spreads work?
Imagine you've placed a -1.0 Whole Line Asian Spread bet on a team, once the match ends, we subtract one goal from your team's final score. So, if your team wins 2-0, with the spread applied, the result changes to 1-0, and you have a winner!
Don’t forget Asian Spreads eliminate the tie!
If the match ends in a tie after applying the spread, your bet is deemed no action, and you get your wager back. For instance, in the example below, if your team wins by just one goal, the adjusted result is a tie and your wager is refunded.
Can you explain Half Line Asian Spread?
Half Line Asian Spread eliminate the tie outcome after the spread is applied. So, if you go for a +0.5 Asian Spread bet and the match ends 1-1, your team's adjusted score is 1.5-1, meaning you have a winner!
And Split Line Asian Spreads?
Split Line Asian Spreads or Quarter Line Asian Spreads split your wager between a Whole Line and a Half Line Asian Spread. This dual approach can offer more betting options. Want to know more about how these bets are settled? Check out our example below.
In the above example:
-
If Nottingham Forest win by 2 or more, your bet would be settled as a winner.
-
If Nottingham Forest win by exactly 1, half of your wager is settled at the odds you took when you placed the bet. The other half is refunded to you.
-
If Nottingham Forest tie or lose by any score, your bet would be settled as a loser.
Why is the Asian Spread line 0.0?
There will be occasions where no spread is applied to either team. This happens when we feel teams are evenly matched, therefore you are betting on the final result with no spread applied. If the match were to end in a tie, you would get your wager refunded.
What about Live In Game betting?
When betting Live In Game, Asian Spreads have a special rule. Any goals scored before you place your bet don't count for settlement purposes. It's as if the score is 0-0 when you make your bet, with the odds and available lines reflecting this.
How does Asian Spread betting work during a live game?
Imagine Leeds United are leading 2-0 against Wrexham. You decide to place a Live In Game Asian Spread bet on Wrexham with a +1.5 goal advantage. This means at the moment of your bet, Wrexham is given a virtual lead of +1.5 goals, and the effective score starts as 0-0 from this point.
If Leeds score another goal, making it 3-0 in the match, your bet views it as 1-0 for Leeds, because the earlier goals don’t count for your bet. However, since you placed the bet on Wrexham with the +1.5 goal advantage, the effective score becomes 1-1.5 in favor of Wrexham, which means you win your bet.
Alternatively, if Wrexham scores instead, bringing the match to 2-1, your bet sees this as 0-1, and with the +1.5 goal advantage, the effective score becomes 0-2.5, which is also a win.
This virtual edge given by the Asian Spread allows you to enjoy betting on the underdog, making it an exciting option until the end of the game!
