This allows me to increase this week's overall prize pool
For those not familliar with asian handicaps, it allows for 50%-50% situation in a football match so nobody can get an advantage by just taking the teams who are more likely to win.

Best of Luck
Thx for the invite @costanza. I have never even seen these Asian Betting Lines before. I took one look at them and said to myself..."Self, this is going to take entirely too long to try to digest what all these numbers mean, so let's just table that for another day."
But I think I have now at least figured out what the numbers mean, and now I can actually translate to what I think is going to go down this weekend - with my commentary of course, because...well...I just had to...
Man United -1.25 (of course, because I'm a MU homey) Burnley Under 2 (which West Brom defender will score this week?) Liverpool Over 3 (defense? what the hell is that?) Southampton Under 2.5 (both shot blanks last weekend) Newcastle +.25 (they really got jobbed last weekend v Spurs)I'm probably not playing the odds right, as far as the payouts play into things. But, hey, I'm taking a shot!
Thanks for your patience with me, and let me know if I miss something.
Once you get these handicaps they are really easy to understand, they just require some initial mental effort.
Your bets are noted, thanks and good luck !

Quick question I see you have put the handicaps in the sheet . So we can only pick one option so for example as your example states either Swansea +1.25 or Swansea 2.5 , with the second option favouring Man Utd (went to llok up link for asian handicaps and it doesnt work ). As always I will run my predictions and let you know
This is how you read the numbers on Swansea - Man United
+1.25 = handicap on home team (so Swansea +1.25)
2.00 = odds on home team handicap (so Swansea +1.25 @ 2.0 with a 1-1 score will win +1.00 units)
1.925 = odds on away team handicap (so Manchester -1.25 @ 1.925 with a 0-2 score will win +0.925 units)
2.5 = the total handicap Line (so 0-0 1-0 0-1 1-1 = under bigger scores go over this line)
1.892 = odds on Over (so over 2.5 @ 1.892 with 1-2 score will win +0.892 units)
2.03 = odds on Under (so under 2.5 @ 2.03 with 1-1 score will win +1.03 units)
Thanks again dude sorry to always bother you with dumb questions
No problem, I know these asian handicaps can be a bit confusing.
These are my choices with explanations so I can see what the right number to put next to it is . Thanks for your patience
Burnley (draw or win by one)
Southampton (think West ham will win by 2 goals)
Huddersfield (Huddersfield will win by one goal)
Leicester (Leicester to win by 2 goals)
Man City (draw or win by one)
I have no idea where you are getting this from.
There are 40 options to choose from
Swansea +1.25 | Man United -1.25 | Swansea Over 2.5 | Swansea Under 2.5
Bournemouth -0.5 | Watford +0.5 | Bournemouth Over 2.5 | Bournemouth Under 2.5
Burnley -0.25 | WBA +0.25 | Burnley Over 2 | Burnley Under 2
Leicester -0.75 | B&H Albion +0.75 | Leicester Over 2.5 | Leicester Under 2.5
Liverpool -1.5 | Crystal Palace +1.5 | Liverpool Over 3 | Liverpool Under 3
Southampton -0.75 | West Ham +0.75 | Southampton Over 2.5 | Southampton Under 2.5
Stoke +0.75 | Arsenal -0.75 | Stoke Over 2.75 | Stoke Under 2.5
Huddersfield -0.25 | Newcastle +0.25 | Huddersfield Over 2.25 | Huddersfield Under 2.25
Tottenham -0.25 | Chelsea +0.25 | Tottenham Over 2.5 | Tottenham Under 2.5
Man City -1.5 | Everton +1.5 | Man City Over 3 | Man City Under 3
The brackets are what I think is gonna happen. I then need to figure out how the handicap numbers fit with what I think wil happen. To be honest those numbers mean nothing to me in terms of a draw or if the home team will score 2 more goals than the away side . I am not establishing a connection between the handicap numbers and the predicted outcome.
ok, I thought this was your entry for the contest.
OK here is my entry with numbers
West Brom +0.25
West Ham +0.75
Huddersfield +0.75
Leicester - 0.75
Everton +1.5
The line on huddersfield does not match, it's -0.25 instead of +0.75
West Brom +0.25
West Ham +0.75
Huddersfield -0.25
Leicester - 0.75
Everton +1.5
Sorry I did not have time. In the next contest I will definitely take part.
did someone got arsenal right? lol
