Handicap +1.25 and -1.25

The +1.25 and -1.25 Asian Handicaps are quarter-goal lines where one stake is divided equally between two neighbouring handicaps:

• +1.25 = +1 and +1.5
• -1.25 = -1 and -1.5

This split creates several possible outcomes: a full win, half win, half loss, or full loss.

What Does a +1.25 Handicap Mean?

A +1.25 Asian Handicap splits the stake equally between +1 and +1.5.

For example, a €100 bet on Everton +1.25 against Arsenal is split into:

• €50 on Everton +1;
• €50 on Everton +1.5.

How Much Do You Get Back on +1.25?

Suppose you bet €100 on Everton +1.25 at odds of 1.90.

If Everton win or draw:

€100 × 1.90 = €190 returned, giving a net profit of €90.

If Everton lose by exactly one goal, you receive €145 back:

• the €50 staked on Everton +1 is refunded;
• the €50 staked on Everton +1.5 wins and returns €95.

That leaves a net profit of €45.

If Everton lose by two or more goals, you lose your full stake.

What Does a -1.25 Handicap Mean?

A -1.25 Asian Handicap works in the opposite direction. The stake is split equally between -1 and -1.5.

A €100 bet on Manchester City -1.25 against Fulham is split into:

• €50 on Manchester City -1;
• €50 on Manchester City -1.5.

How Much Do You Get Back on -1.25?

Suppose you bet €100 on Manchester City -1.25 at odds of 2.00. If Manchester City win by two or more goals:

€100 × 2.00 = €200 returned, giving a net profit of €100.

If they win by exactly one goal, the €50 staked on -1 is refunded, while the €50 staked on -1.5 is lost. You receive €50 back, resulting in a net loss of €50.

If the match ends in a draw or Manchester City lose, you lose your full stake.

Settlement Rules

• Pre-match Asian Handicap bets are usually settled based on the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalty shoot-outs do not normally count unless stated otherwise.
• For in-play Asian Handicap bets, some bookmakers settle the market based on the score from the time the bet is placed rather than the full-match score. Rules can vary, so always check the bookmaker’s market terms.

Can +1.25 and -1.25 Handicap Bets Be Pushed?

A full push is not possible on +1.25 or -1.25. Only the half of the stake placed on the whole-goal line can be refunded, while the other half is settled as either a win or a loss.

This results in a half win or half loss, rather than a full push.

Handicap 1.25 vs Whole and Half-Goal Lines

In short, +1.25 offers more protection than +1, while -1.25 is more forgiving than -1.5.
