Asian Total
Sports bettingAn Asian total, or goal line, splits your stake across quarter lines so a result can be half-won, half-lost or refunded instead of all or nothing.

An Asian total, often called a goal line, is an over/under market that can use quarter lines such as 2.25 or 2.75, splitting your stake across two adjacent lines. That produces half-win and half-loss outcomes a standard over/under does not have, while whole-number lines return the stake if the total lands exactly there.
Worked example: you back over 2.25 goals with €100. Half the stake sits on over 2.0 and half on over 2.5. If the match ends with exactly two goals, the over 2.0 half is refunded and the over 2.5 half loses, so you lose €50 rather than €100.
The structure narrows the range of outcomes rather than improving expected return; the operator's margin is still priced into both component lines. Settlement normally covers regulation time only.
