Asian Handicap -1 removes one goal from your team's score. Your team must win by two or more goals to win the bet. If they win by exactly one goal, it's a push and your stake is returned. If they draw or lose, you lose the bet. It's used when backing strong favorites who are expected to win comfortably.
One goal is deducted from your team's score. If they win 2-0, adjusted score is 1-0, you win. If they win 1-0, adjusted score is 0-0, which is a push — stake returned. If they draw 1-1, adjusted score is 0-1, you lose. The push when winning by exactly one goal is the key feature of -1 that differs from -0.5.

Asian Handicap -1 removes one goal from your team's total. They need to win by at least two goals for your bet to win. A one goal win is a push (stake returned), and anything else is a loss.
It's a push. The handicap reduces their score to 0-0, which is an exact tie, so your stake is returned in full.
-0.5 requires any win. -1 requires a win by two or more goals but gives you your stake back if you win by one. The odds on -1 are higher to compensate for the harder requirement.
Use AH -1 when you think a strong team will win convincingly but you want better odds than -0.5 provides, and you're comfortable with the risk of a one-goal win only returning your stake.
