Topic: Asian total (Read 178 times)

In a multi bet, it should be the same, you'll lose half of your stake in the multi while the other half goes on with adjusted odds and winnings because that other half from the total got pushed/voided, think of it as having two multis.

If you win half of every leg of the multi bet, the original odds of each bet will be reduced by half (1.90 to 1.45 as an example) and the winnings will readjust accordingly.

Imagine being the owner of a gambling platform. Why would I choose to set up a platform just for gamblers in my country and then include such odds? The odds in sports betting are simply the same odds used in other gambling platforms. Just that sometimes some odds have different names but its the same thing. The Asian total is a new gambling combo odds, especially in sports betting so I won't expect every gambler to be familiar with it.

That is the main reason for this discussion. I have been skipping that odd but I always wanted to know how to bet on it, not until these day. This is a good topic from the OP.

The figures you see for the one you called Asian total  is as same thing you explained, only difference between of them is the decimal points that being attached to them and if you removed the decimal points is as same as what you said, the thing is that I don't think that rating of prediction of matches as figures some out, is as same as the other countries, I believe that countries may have different ways of having their own booking bet or gambling winning code that is making you to be confused, even myself I will think twice for such, but basically when looking at it, you will see that they are saying same thing

When you mean by foreign site I wonder. This is because those gambling platforms you refer to as foreign are simply local sites to other persons. Let me be honest even local gambling platforms from your region possibly have these odds. I saw it in Sportybet and I skipped the odd though it was tempting and was looking similar to the over 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and above.

This is a well-explained response thank you. It seems similar to a 2x combo. This means instead of just betting on over 2.5 and the game ends up in 2 goals you won't lose your bet. Hold, I still get confused in a way. Imagine you picked these odds in 3 different matches. How would the booker split the wins in half? That is what I don't really understand.

For someone who has been placing bets for a long time, this is the first time I'm understanding how the Asian total actually work. I've been a big fan of the common under/total markets because of their simplicity. Asian total under/over just added another complexity overhead that I thought it would be too hard to understand. Every time I did bet on Asian totals, I always did a quick Google search and rinse and repeat next time so basically zero efforts to understand the logic around how it works.

Thanks @Oshosondy for bringing this up and to @ralle14 for the explainer. Not forgetting @stompix for posting that table as well

Truly, learning never stops.

I never thought that the Asian Total works like that and I keep ignoring it just because I don't understand it aswell, even though I have been betting for a long time right now, because of that ralle14 is a pretty interesting find for me so thank you,

maybe I will now use this in my future bets that juicy 1 bet can have a slightly fair chance of winning and I never expected that Asian total to be this handy so hats off to you I now see the lack of knowledge I have when it comes to other stuff in the online gambling site, what other things you might have known you can surely make a thread about other stuff that mostly gamblers don't know in gambling sites and that will be a great help for sure.


It was really a great explanation and I admit it was my 1st time understanding this Asian total thing on the gambling site pretty much a bummer for not knowing it early on and it is pretty much available with betting in sports that have scores like Basketball, Football, etc.. and because I mostly bet on fighting sports like UFC and Boxing I never really have a chance in using it.

This is wrong, if you bet under 1.5 and the score is 1:1 you have lost the bet, there are two goals scored and you have chosen 1.25 and 1.75, both are lost.
This bet is for the total goals of the match not for one team, that's a separate thing altogether, in this match you've got 2 goals so it's a loss!


The first thing is that most websites have Asian total and Asian handicap options, Stake has it, Sportsbet has it, and even bet365 has them!
Second, there is obviously a difference, a 2.25 for example is like an insurance bet, where if there are only two goals you get half of the bet, if you had played a normal 2.5 the bet would have been a total loss.

What is the asian total is hahah Im still confused either I just came here because I thought there is some game that involve asian since I am also from Asia  but didn't understand what is that. But hey I just do quick google search and found "The Asian total goal bet is a 2-way bet that provides the option of wagering on whether the total number of goals/points scored is over or under a predefined threshold. Unlike the European variant, there are not only half increments (1.5, 2.5 etc.), but also 0.25, 0.75 and 1.0 increases." https://www.swisslos.ch/en/sporttip/information/help/bet-types/asian-total-goal-bet.html

Well that is the way I understand it and will that method I have been winning although even though I didn't regularly stake with huge amount or compounding much games in the slip I do win. Example; I chose about 3-6 games as multiple bets and stake with a riskable amount. I don't usually allowed those decimals to affect me or make changes focus as they mean same thing while choosing your options.

Well your explanation is true but in this context I think what the op is emphasizing is the over/under 1.75, 2.25, 2.75, 3.25, and 3.75odd. you can hardly see such option in the regular betting site. Like me I am familiar with over/under 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4odd and above but nut used to those ones I have explained above. I think I am equally confused about this but with the help of some explanation I see in the comments section I am able to grab something. I just understand that there is no much difference from the normal over/under of Asian total from the normal, but the numbers make it look quite different.

When I was very much active on using stake.com I usually comes across all these but then there is no much changes because it is same thing and you shouldn't be confused about how it's placed there. What matters is if you know already understand it from the previous site, because the Asian total is just normal betting system, which you just have to pick.
Let say 'Under 1.5 is equal to 4.50 odds, while the 'Over 1.5 is equal 1.20 odds. If you pick 'Under' means if any the team scores 1 goals you still win the match, and again if the other team still score goal to make it 1:1 you still win the bet, but if one of team score 2 goals on a straight making it 2:0 or 0:2 then you lose the match, so is applicable to options.
Then let me also explain the 'Over' for instance, when you have about only 0:1 or 1:0 then you lose the match, but if you have 1:1 or 2:1 or 2:0 you still win the match same way it's applicable to rest options in Asian total.

Wow this is well explained, of a truth I find this Asians total bets chart quite confusing and fustrating and having tried to place  a bet on it sometime ago and due to the situation of how's it's been calculated I stop betting on it, but with this explanations of yours and how to go about it I believe I can be able to calculate my bets under and over and know when I win the bets as well, and with this have been able to understand that the blue numbers in the right hand side is for decimal odds while the left hand side is the total number of goals. This is quite a relief.

Asian charts are not much different from Over/Under bets, except sometimes they use 4 or half odds bets, like 2.25 or 2.25 75. Example: If you have made a bet for Over 2.25 which should be split between Over 2 and Over 2.5 if the total goals scored in The match are precisely 2, you will lose half your points. Under 2.75 splits to Under 2.5 and Under 3. In case you score 3, you'll lose half the points. under 2.5 lost. The other half, however will be restored, as it is a question of under 3 goals. --- More than 2 goals guarantee a win.

Similarly I think to the minimum point of 1.25 is divided between the minimum point of 1 and the minimum point of 1.5 if you actually hit exactly 1 target. You will get half of your money refunded, and the other half is yours. No target is a guarantee win. Examples of numbers are: Over 1.37, over 1.6, and over 1.77. That means how much you will have on the dollar-for-dollar amount you win on what you bet. That is, you will receive $1.77 back for every dollar won if you had bet over 1.77. Hope I make it easy for you gal



I totally get where you are coming from on this, especially Asia sports betting, which tends to be confusing to a lot of people, even for anyone with general knowledge about betting. It's a learning curve. I think it's only natural that people do not start off with traditional markets. It is just a question of picking a winner.

When different types of online platforms and markets more accessible You get the feeling that many people are curious about details like the various up/down options. or other special forms of betting I think more conversations like this would help clarify things for everyone. As we become more familiar with these terms It's always great to see how knowledge sharing can transform these ideas to be more accessible to the community.

I admittedly have also had this wrong for a very long time and had some misconceptions on how it works, especially, over or under 2 or 3 without any decimals.

How does this work if it is part of a multi bet? Will I be losing half of the expected odds on that game, so my total winnings will reduce or I'll be losing half of my stake?

This is good explanation and really easy to understand because basically some people even though they have known gambling for some time still can't understand or comprehend how the explanation and how it works in the sports betting market.
But I was quite surprised when people here didn't really understand how it works and the meaning of the various types of sports betting markets as questioned by OP related to Total Asian under/over, but it makes sense because I didn't know much about it when I first tried playing on gambling site because in land-based betting shops there was only the choice of winning.
There are many more types of betting markets and maybe some people also don't know or don't understand them all one by one, I think there will be more questions here in the future.

Here is a table for it

Just a part of the table since obviously, 2.25 is a repeat of 1.25 with an extra 1.



You're right, you lose, for 2.5 it works as simply 2.5 over/under in us betting.

Thank you @ralle14. I have been meaning to ask the same question because I don't understand the Asian total either. Yeah, I have been betting on sports for a long time and I am still confused with it just like OP.

So it's like a "fail safe" but you only get half of your total bet in case it loses. What if you pick the Over 2.5 and the result ends with 2 only? You won't get anything back, right? Because your safety is 2.25 and 2.75. Correct me if I am wrong, please.

I've never bet on Asian options because I don't understand it, I guess testing it will help me gain experience and understand it.

The blue numbers on the right side should be the decimal odds while the numbers on the left are the total number of goals.

Betting on over 2.25 goals means you'll be betting on both over 2 and 2.5 so if the match ends with two goals you still get half of your bet back because your bet was split in two (2 and 2.5).

The same applies for under 2.75 goals, you win your bet completely if it ends with two goals, and you only lose half if it goes to three.

Do not mind me for this question.

I know about total (under and over) but this is used on local betting sites unlike the foreign betting sites that are using Asian total. I prefer to use crypto for betting instead. I do not bet on Asian total because it is confusing me.





For total: If it is under 1.5, it means the club will not score up to 2 goals for you to win the bet. If it is over 1.5, it means the club will score more than 2 goals for you to win the bet. The next will be under/over 2.5, under/over 3.5 and so on.

But I do not understand Asian total. What is over 2.25, under 2.5 and under 2.75? Also what does under 1.25, over 1.37, over 1.5, over 1.6 and over $1.77 means?
