Pinnaclesports - noob point spread question

-1/1.5 means you need to win by 2
If they win by 1, you'll lose half your stake.

So if you wager 100 and they win by 1, you'll lose 50 bucks. If they win by 2, you'll win whatever price you got.

yes, and for instance if you see -0.5 and -1, that's like this : if they win by 2 or more, u win, if they win by 1, you win only half of your stake.
e.g : u bet 100 bucks on -0.75 @ odd 2.00 and you teams wins 1-0. you will win 150 bucks, so a smaller profite.

I hope anticipated your next question

The same is available for under/overs

I usually just stick with MLB but every so often I will venture into this forum. These soccer bets have always confused me. I get the over/under but take this bet for example. If I take Estudiantes at -1 how is that any different that Estudiantes at -200? Is -1 a push?

ATLETICO TUCUMAN+425o2½-110+1-130

ESTUDIANTES DE LA PLATA-200u2½-130-1-110
Draw+235

if you only have team x -1 and team y +1 and team x wins by one goal, you get your money back. this type of bet and the ones me and ace of spaed told you before are called asian handicap.
if you also have the option of a draw, you have to bet that team x will win by exaclty 1 goal, but i strongly recommend you to avoid this kind of handicap.
Good luck

Think of it as a mlb bet with a -1 RL
If the team wins by 1 run , it's a push. More than 1 run win - and you win.

The -1 RL will obviously have better odds than the ML
The same applies to the soccer bet you mentioned.
