The bookmaker sets this handicap bet for the match :
Arsenal to -1 , Draw -1 , West Ham +1
To win the bet on Arsenal -1, they must win by at least 2 goals. To win the bet on West Ham +1, the match must end with a draw or West Ham win. To win the bet on Draw-1 then Arsenal must win the game by exactly 1 goal.
This is where it is different to Asian Handicap as at no point do you get the stake refunded due to the draw handicap being available.
An arb could exist between just a 1x2 handicap bet and an Asian handicap bet. Example:
Hull City
Asian Handicap +1.5 at 2.05
If the match ends with a draw , a Hull City win or a Manchester United win by one goal only then you win the Asian Handicap bet and if Manchester United win by at least 2 goals then you win the 1x2 Handicap bet. This arb is worth 3.73%.
