If you successfully got to grips with full goal and half goal asian handicaps, then you will have no trouble at all to befriend quarter goal handicaps - they are not another type of handicap, they are simply a combination of those two aforementioned. Simple as it is: quarter goal asian handicap is split between two surrounding handicaps, with half of total stake going to each one of them.
If you staked 10 units at, say, asian handicap +1.25, it actually consists of two handicaps: +1 with stake of 5 units, and +1.5 with stake of 5 units. You need to settle them both, as per rules explained in previous sections, and then sum of profit/loss on both handicaps gives you final outcome of your bet.
As usual, it's easiest to get it while looking at example. Let's check match between Chelsea and Everton, which ended 2-1.
Let's say, we bet on Chelsea AH -0.75, with stake of 10 units; available odds at Pinnacle were 2.03.
As explained earlier, that means we actually have two bets: Chelsea AH -0.5 and Chelsea AH -1, both with stakes of 5 units.
Now we know how to settle those two bets: first one was won, second one was void. That means, bet was half won - half of the stake, 5 units, is settled as won at given odds, while the other half, other 5 units, was refunded. So, return is
5 * 2.03 + 5 = 15.15 units
i.e., net profit is 5.15 units.
Let's check what would've happened if we bet on Chelsea AH -1.25, with stakes of 10 units and Pinnacle odds of 2.84.
Again, bet consists of two bets: Chelsea -1 AH with stake of 5 units, and Chelsea -1.5 AH with stake of 5 units.
Obviously, first bet was void, while second one was lost; it's said "half lost". That means, half of our stake, 5 units, was refunded, while other half was lost; so, return is 5 units, i.e., net loss of 5 units. Looks like odds were irrelevant - bet was simply lost.
One can easily conclude that any quarter-goal handicap below -1.25 (-1.75 AH, -2.25 AH, etc.) would result in a full loss, and any quarter-goal handicap higher than -0.75 (-0.25 AH, +0.25 AH, etc.) would result in a full win. Naturally, odds for those lower handicaps would be higher, and vice versa - bigger headstart you give to Chelsea, bigger the chance they will win.
In the same way, we may derive that bet on Everton +0.75 AH would result in half lost bet; Everton +1.25 AH would result in half won bet. Bets on Everton +0.25 AH or lower would be fully lost, while bets on Everton +1.75 AH would be fuly won.

Various bookmakers write quarter goal handicaps in different way; the easiest one in my opinion is to write it as plain decimal number - 0.25, 1.75, etc. Some they will write "AH 0 and 0.5", "AH 1.5 and 2", or "AH 0/0.5" and "AH 1.5/2".
One of the most respected asian bookmakers, Pinnacle, writes 0.25 handicap as "AH pk and 0.5", with "pk" standing for "Pick'em all".
