Asian goal line bets are, quite simply, an alternative way to bet on the number of goals scored in a football match. The standout thing about Asian goal line bets is that they offer refunds in certain circumstances.
What is Asian Goal Line Betting?
In short, an Asian goal line bet predicts the amount of goals that will be scored in a particular football match. It is a bit like an Over/Under bet, with the main difference being that Asian goal lines offer quarter and half goal options as well as full goal options and the opportunity to get your stake refunded.
Importantly, Asian goal line bets are not the same as Asian handicap betting, which you can find out more about here. Instead, Asian Goal Line betting is all about looking for a certain number of goals to be scored in a match. This can be higher than, lower than or equal to your predicted amount, irrespective of who scores the goals and which team won or lost.

How Does Asian Goal Line Betting Work?
Let’s say that you are placing a bet on over 2 goals being scored in a game of football. We do not need to concern ourselves with which teams will score, because this does not matter for this particular type of bet. Neither does the result or who wins. The only thing that we need to concentrate on is the number of goals.
If the game was to end 3-0, the Asian goal line bet of over 2.0 would win because there were indeed more than 2 goals in the game, as per our prediction. We would not, however, collect any winnings if the game had ended in a 0-0 or a 1-1 draw. We would collect a stake refund in the latter’s case, as this would mean that 2 goals were scored in the match which matches the number of goals in our initial wager and is considered a push.
Full Goals
This is a simple case of winning if you were right and losing if you were wrong about the amount of goals scored in a match. The only thing to remember is that with an Asian goal line bet, your stake is returned if the amount of goals you predicted and the amount of goals scored are the same. This is because the “win” part of the bet only occurs if more or less than that amount was scored (depending on your selection) and you bet the right way.
Half Goals
Asian goal line bets eliminate the draw option, so obviously, as the exact halfway point between two full goals, half goals mean that only two outcomes are possible. For example, with an over 1.5 goal line bet, there can either be more or less than 1.5 goals scored, meaning you can either win or lose.
Quarter Goals
To divide whole goals up even further, quarter goals are between a whole goal and a half goal. When you bet on a quarter of a goal in Asian goal line betting, your stake is split equally between a whole goal bet and the quarter goal. For example, if you place a £20 on over 2.25 Goals, then £10 goes towards the over 2 goals bet while the other £10 will go a wager on the over 2.25 selection. In the game, if there are only two goals scored, a push is created on the whole goal bet and your stake is refunded, but only this part of the bet is returned. Your stake on 2.25 will be deemed to be a loser and the bet is a half loss. Or, if you’re so inclined, a half win.
Examples of Asian Goal Lines
Say that you have placed a £10 wager on over 1.5 goals to occur in a match between Liverpool and Manchester United. Again, as with the quarter bet, this means that half of the stake will go towards the whole number and half towards the fraction. If the game ends 0-0, your bet is chalked up as a loser exactly as you would expect it to be. If the game ends 1-1 then a push is created and will refund half of the bet, but if one of the teams win 2-1, then both parts of the bet win.
Asian Goal Line Betting – Tips & Strategy
The best way to win with a bet such as this is, and this is true for all betting, is to factor in all of the variables that can affect a typical game of football. This might mean knowing how well teams set out defensively, which might determine whether you bet on the underside of the market. Or it could be how prolific up front a team is, in which case you might bet on there being a higher amount of goals hitting the back of the net.
The same is true of managers. Some have a reputation for being defensive and pragmatic, while others are well known for valuing high-scoring wins and set their teams out accordingly. In short, pay attention to the market and do your bettor’s research.

ThePuntersPage Final Say
The difference with traditional alternative goal line betting and Asian goal line betting is that in the former you have three outcomes: over, under and exact amount of goals. In Asian goal line betting, however, you have just the two: over and under, with no exact amount of goals. If you backed over 2 goals and the game finishes with 2 goals, then it is considered a push and your stake is returned to you. If the game ended with less than 2 goals you lose, but if you correctly called that the game would end with more than 2 goals and it does, you are a winner. And that, in a nutshell, is Asian goal line betting. You can also check out our detailed article on Betting Terms & Definitions.
