Asian lines are a type of Spread bet that add another layer to betting, offering different strategies and outcomes.
A spread means that one team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage (represented by a number of goals, points, or sets) before the match begins, for the purpose of the bet.
Types of Asian Spreads
There are a variety of Asian Spreads available under the Asian Lines Market for most events.
These are:
-
Whole Line - The virtual lead is represented as + or - a whole number.
-
Half Line - The virtual lead is represented with + or - 0.5,1.5 a half number.
-
Quarter or Split Line - Is a combination of both whole and half lines.
When you select one of the above Asian Spread lines, a virtual advantage or disadvantage is created for either Team A or Team B, and a hypothetical + or – score is added to your selection.
Whole Line Asian Spread
Whole Line Spread bets can be identified by the + or - whole number.
For example, if the final score in the RB Leipzig v Liverpool match is 0-2 and your selection was Liverpool -1.0, the final settlement score is 0-1.
Good to know
If a match ends in a tie after a Whole Line Spread is applied, your bet is deemed no action and your wager is returned, eliminating the tie.
Half Line Asian Spread
Half Line Asian Spreads eliminate the tie outcome after the spread is applied.
For example, Roma are given a +1.5 virtual lead over Celtic, and the match ends 2-1 to Celtic. When adding the +1.5 to Roma’s score, the final settlement is 2-2.5, making Roma the winning selection.
Split Line Asian Spread
Split Line Asian Spreads and Quarter Line Asian Spreads split your wager between a Whole Line and a Half Line Asian Spread.
For example, if you placed a spread of Nottingham Forest -0.5,-1.0:
-
If Nottingham Forest win by 2 or more, your bet would be settled as a winner.
-
If Nottingham Forest win by exactly 1, half of your wager is settled at the price you took when you placed the bet. The other half is refunded to you.
-
If Nottingham Forest tie or lose by any score, your bet would be settled as a loser.
Live Betting
When betting Live on Asian Spreads, any goals scored before you place your bet don't count for settlement purposes. This means that the current match score is effectively reset to 0-0.
Good to know
Live Asian Spreads reset the current match score to 0-0 when you place your bet, with the odds and available lines reflecting this.

As an example, if you bet on Team B with an Asian Spread of +1.5 goals when they are losing 2-0, this gives Team B a virtual 1.5 goal lead.
If Team A scores again to make the score 3-0, your bet effectively sees it as 1-0 to Team A. However, with your +1.5 advantage for Team B, the score becomes 1-1.5 and your bet wins.
If Team B scores to make the score 2-1, your bet effectively sees it as 0-1 to Team B. With your +1.5 advantage, the score becomes 0-2.5, meaning your bet wins.
