Asian Handicap betting is a form of betting on football in which teams are handicapped according to their form, so that a stronger team must win by more goals for a punter betting on them to win.
The system originated in Indonesia and has gained popularity in the early 21st century.
Handicaps typically range from one-quarter goal to several goals, in increments of half- or even quarter-goals.

Most importantly, Asian Handicap betting reduces the possible number of outcomes from three (in traditional 1X2 wagering) to two by eliminating the draw outcome.
This simplification delivers two betting options that each have a near 50% chance of success.

An over-under or over/under (O/U) bet is a wager in which a sportsbook will predict a number for a statistic in a given game (combined score of the two teams), and bettors wager that the actual number in the game will be either higher or lower than that number.
For example, in Super Bowl XXXIX, most Las Vegas casinos set the over-under for the score of the game at 46.0.
A bettor could wager that the combined score of the two teams would be either more than or less than that number.
Since the combined score of that game was 45, anyone who had bet on "under" won.
