    Can Someone Answer This Please?

    When Turk posts his bet like this:

    Italy U21 v Serbia U21- 19:30 (GMT)
    Pick: Italy -0
    Odds: 1.5/ -200

    What exactly is he betting? Sorry for such an ignorant question, but having never bet really bet on soccer I want to make sure I understand.

    Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

    -0 is the same as PK or Pick. so in this case he picks italy to win by any number of goals. this is different than a ML as a draw results in a push.

    it's a split handicap, with half the stake on each.

    So if you bet $100 on -0, -1/2, then $50 is on -0 and $50 is on -1/2? If the teams tie you lose $50?

    For example:

    Spain -2½,-3 -121 means if you bet $242 and Spain wins by 3 you get $121 back and win $221 from the other half of the bet?
