Handicap 1.5. How to Bet with a 1.5-Goal Edge?

What is Handicap +1.5/-1.5?

Asian handicap +1.5 and -1.5 (aka point spread) is a type of half-goal spread where you give or take a 1.5-goal edge to or from a team before the game starts.

Note: It works for any sport where players can score (goals, points, pucks, sets).

What It Means in Sports Betting?

• +1.5 means that the team you pick starts the game with a 1.5-goal lead. This means that they only need to draw or lose by 1 goal to make your bet win.
• -1.5 means that the team you pick starts the game with a 1.5-goal deficit. This means that they need to win the game by at least 2 goals to make your bet win.
• +/-1.5 also means that there are no draws possible. There are only 2 outcomes: win or lose. This is different from the regular whole-goal handicap, where you can get your money back if the game ends in a draw after applying the handicap.

Note: The sign (+ or -) before the number shows which team has the edge or the gap. The number (1.5) shows how big the edge or the gap is.

How It Works: In Action

Let’s say you want to bet on the game between Aston Villa and Everton. Everton is the favorite team, so they have a -1.5 handicap. Aston Villa is the underdog, so they have a +1.5 handicap.

The table below shows the outcomes of betting on either -1.5 or +1.5, depending on the actual score of the game:

Note: The adjusted score is the real score, plus or minus the handicap.
