Market type
Asian handicap
Asian handicap removes the draw with a goal/point handicap, normalised across the roster — a sharp, low-margin market arbitrage and trading products lean on.
What is asian handicap?
An Asian handicap applies a fractional goal or point start to one side, removing the draw and often splitting the stake across two lines. It is favoured by sharper bettors for its low margins and is a key market for arbitrage and trading.
How OddsRelay delivers it
The feed normalises Asian-handicap lines across books so quarter and half lines align, and pairs back prices against exchange lay where available.
Exchange lay: this market is layable, so back prices are paired against exchange lay and rated.
