Asian handicap offers a potentially less risky type of bet compared to traditional "win-draw-win" style betting. If an opponent is considered superior to another, the weaker side is given an advantage, which is added to the result that is actually achieved. An Asian handicap includes two components: the handicap line, which refers to the term of the bet, and the moneyline, which is the payout offered on each team for the given handicap line - to a unit stake of one.
