Asian Total is a special type of Totals bet. Unlike a standard total, it can be graded as half-win or half-loss in addition to the usual Win, Loss, or Push (stake returned).
A totals bet is simply a bet on the combined goals scored by both teams. How it can settle depends on whether the line is a whole number, a half number, or a quarter number.
Whole-number totals (e.g., over 1 or under 1)
With a whole-number line, a push is possible. If the match lands exactly on the line, your stake is returned.
Example: CONCACAF Gold Cup, Honduras vs French Guiana (Over 1 or Under 1)
Over 1:
Total goals | Grade |
2 or more | Win |
Exactly 1 | Push (stake returned) |
0 | Loss |
Under 1:
Total goals | Grade |
2 or more | Loss |
Exactly 1 | Push (stake returned) |
0 | Win |
Half-number totals (e.g., over 2.5 or under 2.5)
Adding a half number removes the possibility of a push. There's always a clear win or loss.
Example: Premier League, Everton FC vs Stoke City FC (Over 2.5 or Under 2.5)
Over 2.5:
Total goals | Grade |
3 or more | Win |
2 or fewer | Loss |
Under 2.5:
Total goals | Grade |
3 or more | Loss |
2 or fewer | Win |
Quarter-number totals (e.g., over 2.25)
Only the Asian Total can use a quarter number (e.g., 0.25, 0.75, 1.25, 1.75, and so on).
Here your stake is split evenly across the two nearest lines. This opens up four possible outcomes: Win, Loss, Half-Win, and Half-Loss.
Example: UEFA Champions League, FK Spartaks Jūrmala vs FC Astana (Over 2.25 or Under 2.25)
Over 2.25 (half your stake on Over 2, half on Over 2.5)
Total goals | Grade |
3 or more | Win |
Exactly 2 | Half-Loss (the Over 2 half pushes, the Over 2.5 half loses) |
1 or 0 | Loss |
Under 2.25 (half your stake on Under 2, half on Under 2.5)
Total goals | Grade |
3 or more | Loss |
Exactly 2 | Half-Win (the Under 2 half pushes, the Under 2.5 half wins) |
1 or 0 | Win |
