How asian handicap comes back.
- Market key asian_handicap, one market per period, every line inside it.
- Each outcome is home or away and carries that side's own line: home -0.5 pairs with away +0.5.
- Quarter lines (-0.25, -0.75) come back as numbers. Three-way handicaps are a separate key, european_handicap.

Two-way modelling. With the draw gone, AH prices turn cleanly into a win probability on the line, easier to model and to hedge.
Exchange depth. Betfair Exchange returns back and lay ladders on its AH lines, with the size available at each price.
