Anyone watching NBA ? We're witness history of what Harden is doing , I can't believe it! The man is a monster when it comes to points and not even Jordan had a season debut like his , the commentators just told this as his step-back shot trick is beyond any guard ...it simply cannot be guarded. Also Giannis from Bucks has a good night too with a lot of dunks and points as he's carrying the team like he always does.
Again, Harden making history.

Is each team going to score 4 Goals?
I will go for Ireland - Denmark over 2.5. I know it is statistically not a bet I should be taking, both teams are more defensively oriented but it will be a game in which one team always needs the goal so I will try this one.
I might even try for more money if half-time ends without goals because Ireland will need to open up.

What do you guys think of today's matches and Sportsbet Special in particular which is Over 1.5 Goals in Each Match?
There are a total of 8 games scheduled for today, with Ireland vs. Denmark and Greece vs. Finland being the only ones giving me a pause to take that juicy 4.5 odds.
Ireland needs a win to get one of the first two spots, while a draw would be just fine for Denmark. If there are no early goals this could turn into a very defensive game imo.
Maybe @efialtis can bring some inside info on Greece and what to expect from them in this game?

Lol! Finally that newly added style of Asian Handicap in Sportsbet is brought up here. Thanks guys and to SyGambler and Darkstar_ for the enlightenment.
I remember the first time I saw it on Sportsbet. I asked Sportsbet support and it took a lot of time before the guy on the line answered every single questions and examples. What annoyed me was he kept getting wrong on his explanations and examples that confused me more. He was wrong many times and gave me another sets of explanations and examples. There was a point that he mixed his words with Spanish or Portuguese (can't remember which of the two languages) and asked me if I understand Spanish or Portuguese. I was in the midst of closing our conversation because I was starting to get mad and I wasted time. I just told him that I got it to end our convo. After that I think about reporting that guy but didn't do it.

Cool reading all the explanations on the same outcome/different odds,,, and Asian handicap everyone!
I am from Asia and we are familiar with the full and half units, we always for sure use it in football betting with each other. We'll say I take Arsenal and give you half ball, or negotiate 2 balls, etc,,, and the prize is just the agreed amount in betting against each other. Sometimes I take it against a friend when I know it is less than 2.0 for the same option at a bookie:)

it looks hard at first but with time and little bit of betting it becomes easy , have you tried googling it ? I will try explaining it a little bit but I don't think I will give any better answers than google
in the screenshot you posted here is what Asianhandicap means :
Albania +0.5/+1 ( in other sites you may see it +0.75 ) means that your stake will be split in half , like if you bet 100$ on that game 50$ will be at +0.5 and the other 50 will be at +1
the +0.5 means you want the team to be ahead by half a goal , so you need the team to win or draw
the +1 means that you are adding to that team 1 goal , if the teams win you win the bet if it loses by 1 goal you get a refund and if it loses by more than one goal you lose the bet
the +1/+1.5 ( in other sites +1.25 ) apply the same concept before so now you are splitting the stake on +1 and +1.5
the opposite goes for negative
I really don't know how to put it in simple words actually but try quickly googling it and if you didn't understand any part let me know through pm and I will help you with that
the european handicap is much more confusing IMO
I rarely bet using Asian Handicap and only understand if one team is negative like -0.25, -0.5, and several others. I think if I choose a positive team the allocation will be different but by reading this I understand. in the screenshot you posted here is what Asianhandicap means :
Albania +0.5/+1 ( in other sites you may see it +0.75 ) means that your stake will be split in half , like if you bet 100$ on that game 50$ will be at +0.5 and the other 50 will be at +1

The example you gave was clear to understand but it seems in the other choices I am still a bit confuse. I will do some study in google and will PM you if still I have questions.the european handicap is much more confusing IMO
Thanks for your time buddy.

Thanks for this, man. Simple explanation, I finally understand it. I did not think that +0.5/+1 equals +0.75, now it is completely understandable to me.
Good feedback everyone on -0 Asian handicap, I learn something new every day, and would never have learnt this if I never signed up for Sportsbet.io either!
Actually I looked online and I couldn't find a -0 or even +0 either, definitely more used to seeing half or quarter points in AH. One more thing to add, some bookies actually have trouble settling parlays that use AH, since bets are split!
Anyway, yeah great point is always to use best odds. It matters.

This information that Asian 0 is equal to draw no bet could be very profitable. From the example mentioned above I have a feeling that the odds are much better than what fiat betting sites usually offer for draw no bet markets. Draw no bet is usually just a little bit higher than double chance which was always a nonsense for me since that doesn't offer any value.
yeah it's the same and most of the times the odds for +/-0 are better than betting draw no bet , for example if you check Greece vs Finland you will see draw no bet odds are 1.42/2.7 but for asian handicap 0 they become 1.47/2.87 ( see the huge difference even in the same site ? )
we discussed this thing a little in another thread how sometimes same options can have different odds , feel free to check it if you have time
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/different-odds-for-a-same-bet-5200950
so understanding all the betting options that the book offers will make you much more money long run , even if someone finds himself don't need to bet Asian handicap he will still be making more money if he understand it since a lot of the casual bets can be covered with the handicap ( Moneyline , Doublechance and draw no bet )
Thanks to SyGambler and DarkStar_ for Asian handicaps explanations. This was more than enough for me to get grasp on them.

I'll make a comparison on the next interesting game to see how big of a difference it actually is and if it is worth to include this market in my "favorite list".

I never understood this handicap market very well. It's confusing to me even I am a regular gambler. Always avoided this market :-D
And since I become a part of this conversation from this post, can anyone help me to understand what this odds means for this market below:
I know when we take anything seriously we figure it out finally.

There are tons of games that are "easy to pick" but also the results are quite in for most of the teams so I don't know if they will play with a winning mindset or not. For example we have Portugal versus Luxembourg, do you have any single doubt that Portugal may lose? I don't see that at all, just to compare it to trading there are very few traders who would say no to a guaranteed 7% return, that is literally one day 7% increase in your portfolio.
But, gamblers are different, they know the risks, Portugal HAS TO win this game, they are just one point above Serbia and Serbia is playing Ukraine, Ukraine doesn't care anymore because they are the leaders by 5 points so they already ended the game, do we take the risk or do we just not go for that 7% return? Tough question.

Yup, I hate asian handicaps as well. I always Google it before placing a bet, especially the 0.25 ones. It just does not make any sense to me 
~snip~
Asian Handicap of +/- 0 is both equivalent to Draw No Bet. You're referring to a 0.25 handicap which is split between the 0.5 and 0 handicaps.

Generally yes, but Sportsbet today Asian handicap for Ukraine (-0) is 2.75 whereas moneyline is 3.75 (huge difference). But for under 0.5 goals it is 11.00 and for 0-0 score it is 9.40. This is on sportsbet.
That is not the same bet. I believe that Asisan handicap 0 means that you put half of your stake towards win and half towards draw, so you would get something back even if Ukraine doesn't win. Generally whole number Asian handicaps mean something more and you should check exactly what you are playing. You are safe to play .5 handicaps they work same as regular ones so less confusion there.

My understanding of Asian handicap that you're talking about is is +0.25, where half is 0 and half is +0.5, so is this what Sportsbet does with -0?
So okay, now I know -0 in Sportsbet means +0.25?
I am not sure either, we should definitely check that. Maybe Steve will come along and shed some light on this. That was my "educated guess" based on the odds difference and knowing about splitting the stake when using some Asian handicaps.
For now it is enough that I know what .5 handicaps stand for and I am using them often since they provide better odds than double chance.

That's definitely confusing, so good thing I don't do much Asian handicap if at all!
Either way, damn Serbia. Lost my parlay cause Ukraine couldn't win but I guess all those betting on Serbia as favourites also lost!
But for under 0.5 goals it is 11.00 and for 0-0 score it is 9.40. This is on sportsbet.
See? I have never seen something like this anywhere else. Wherever I played before, these odds are always identical.
Is it a promo pair of some sort or does it happen all the time?
This is actually not only happening on sportsbet - you can find such examples every day at every bookmaker actually when it comes to asians --> which is also why you should always have a close look so you take the best odds!
Side note: Even though I have been placing bets for more than 15 years now, I have never understood WHY the bookies are doing that. Been discussing this with fellow bettors many times and nobody could explain 100%.
