In the Indian betting market, understanding how points work in football betting is crucial for local punters. The points system primarily revolves around handicap betting, where one team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field.
For Indian bettors, the most common points system is Asian Handicap, which eliminates the possibility of a draw. Teams are assigned point handicaps like -0.5, -1, or +0.5, +1. The minus sign indicates the favorite team must win by more than the handicap, while the plus sign means the underdog can lose by less than the handicap or win outright.
Another popular points system in India is Over/Under betting, where you bet on whether the total points/goals in a match will be over or under a specified number. This system is particularly appealing to Indian bettors who prefer straightforward wagering options without complicated calculations.
Indian betting platforms also offer quarter-point handicaps （like 0.25, 0.75, 1.25） to prevent push results and ensure clear winning outcomes. These fractional points help local bettors avoid tied bets and receive either full wins or partial refunds depending on the match result. |
