Handicap betting — or kèo châu Á — is one of the most popular forms of kèo nhà cái in Vietnam. It levels the playing field between strong and weak teams, making even one-sided matches interesting to bet on.
What Is Handicap Betting?
In a handicap, the bookmaker gives one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage before the match starts. For example:
- Team A -1
- Team B +1
If you bet on Team A, they must win by 2 or more goals for you to win. If they win by only 1, the result is a draw in the betting market.
Popular Handicap Lines
- 0: No handicap. A draw refunds your bet.
- 0.25 or 0.75: Split bet across two lines (half win/lose)
- +1.5 / -1.5: Larger goal difference required
The smaller the number, the closer the matchup. Large handicaps usually appear when a big team faces a clear underdog.
Why Use It?
Handicap betting is perfect when:
- A favorite is too strong (bad odds on straight win)
- You expect a tight game
- You want better payouts on the underdog
It adds value to matches that would otherwise be poor betting opportunities.
