Effective Bankroll Management For Asian Handicap Betting

Effective Bankroll Management For Asian Handicap Betting

Handicap betting is a popular way to bet on sports in modern times, and Asian handicaps are advancing that strategy. In sports today - team sports like basketball or soccer or individual sports like tennis - there are huge discrepancies in the relative strengths and prowess between the competing entities. Using soccer as an example, teams from the top half - or at least the top quarter - of the league table are expected to beat teams languishing in the bottom half. These are classic favorite vs. underdog scenarios, and at such times, bookmakers rarely offer profitable prices for predicting an obvious victory. Asian handicaps are especially useful in these situations.

Asian Handicaps To Improve Betting Odds And Profit

Sometimes there's such a gulf between two opponents that everyone can see the favorites winning the contest long before it has even begun. Since bookmakers won't pay out anything respectable for making easy predictions, Asian handicaps can level the playing field between the teams/athletes and improve profit-making potential. By applying a handicap to sports betting, a punter is trying to show how confident they are about a team/athlete by banking on a victory but a win by a certain margin of victory. By hypothetically deducting points or goals from a favorite or vice versa for an underdog, handicaps ensure prices for making predictions improve. For instance, instead of simply predicting that Barcelona will beat an underdog team like Deportivo Alaves in La Liga, a prediction that Barca wins by a margin of at least two goals allows the punter to drive up the betting prices. With the higher betting prices, the bookie must pay more money to reward these daring predictions.

Asian Handicap Betting Bankroll Management

Asian handicap are an excellent way to bet on soccer, rugby, and basketball. However, without good bankroll management, it's easy for a punter's handicap betting efforts to go to waste. Bankroll management means taking charge of finances and, more specifically, having conscious control over the money you've deposited as capital for betting. Serious punters set out to make money from betting, and this is impossible without efficient utilization of the betting bankroll. Here are a few pro tips on how to manage betting finances in Asian handicap betting:

• Determine the fixed size of the bankroll. This means one should always know what amount they wish to use as a bankroll. The bankroll must be well thought out - a financially sensible amount considering other necessities and life expenses.

• Always stick to the budgeted bankroll. In handicap betting, many temptations always exist to go beyond budget, especially when chasing losses. A good punter must maintain discipline, using only the set bankroll as capital, and not randomly making new deposits before that betting period ends.

• Use statistical analysis for betting. Consider teams' and athletes' historical performances and other variables to inform your betting choices. This way, the punter can improve their betting success rate and generate wins to keep their bankroll afloat.

• Avoid steep handicaps. In as much as Asian handicaps involve backing clear favorites against underdogs, some handicaps might prove unreasonably too big for any team or athlete to overcome, no matter how stronger than the opponent they are. Use the betting odds to balance how much risk is worth taking when making handicap wagers.
