help with asian handicap bet

[jeff1212]

Hi,    I need help with an asain handicap bet.     I thought it was just a handicap bet until i looked at my reciept.

The bet i did was last night  and it was palistino vs santiago morning in the chile cup.

santiago were 0-1 up  so i took them at +0.5  to be winning at half time at 1.59   , they were 1 up

in 10 min i did my bet 20 min in.   Half time finished 1-1   

The bookie showed that the bet was lost could someone clear this up for me, i thought i had won

as to me it finished  1-1.5.

any help would be great help.

Thanks

IF you backed either team +0.5 in the halftime market then you should have won given that it finished as a draw. If that's the case it would appear that the bet has been settled incorrectly and you should query it.

The other options are that you actually backed them -0.5 at half time or +0.5 at full time, both of which would have been correctly settled as a loser. (Or I suppose, you could have backed an over/under 0.5 goals line which would also have been a loser.)

Without looking too closely I'd say the most likely scenario for it to be your error is that you inadvertently backed the -0.5 handicap rather than the plus. Double check and query it if necessary.
