In football betting, a +1.5 handicap means that the team you are betting on is effectively starting the game with a 1.5 goal head start. If you bet on a team with a +1.5 handicap, your bet will win if the team either wins the game or if the game ends in a draw.

A 0.5 Asian Handicap is a popular betting market in sports betting. It is also known as a half-goal handicap.
