    Stupid Soccer Question

    When the line is like this....

    32 Real Madrid -½ +120 +120
    O-125
    U-105
    Show PropsShow Periods



    What does it mean if I pick real Madrid and the score is 1-1 or a draw with a line of -1/2 +120? Do I lose my bet or is it the same as a DNB?

    That selection only wins if Real Madrid wins the game. Final score for example Man U 1 Real Madrid 1, you then take half a goal (-1/2) from Real Madrid and it finishes Man U 1 Real Madrid 0.5 - you lose.
    But if its Man U 1 Real Madrid 2, you take away half a goal from RM and they still win..
    The dnb price on RM is around 1.67, sorry i dont know what that is in US odds - something like -130 i think.

    Thanks OnMG! I appreciate it. Why in the world would they even offer that line? It is the same as the ML? Essentially it is the same.

    Yeah when its 1/2 handicap its mainly used for the +0.5 side. Man U +0.5 would cover draw and Man u win, but Man U money line doesn't cover the draw obviously.
    Sometimes -0.5 pays better/worse than the ML as well, on b365 RM -0.5 is 2.30 but RM ML is 2.20 even though its the same thing... on your book its the same though.
    Anyway gl.

    Yep (-0.5) and ML are the same. -0.25 means if they draw you get half your money back.

    Thanks guys, really appreciate it. What do you guys think about today? No sound reason for it, but I think it may be two road teams today. Kinda hard not to take any + Madrid money. They are just clicking now and on a hell of a run. B2B against Barca, I'm thinking MU might look like an U20 game to them.
