    Soccer betting question

    OK, so I hardly ever bet on soccer and I have a question that probably sounds ridiculous to you soccer gamblers.

    Im looking at the Morocco/Iran game and Morocco is -.25 on the spread and I also see the total listed at 1.75. What the fukk is the difference? Should it just be .5?

    Those are "Asian handicap" wagers.

    for the total 1/2 of your bet is on 1.5 and the other 1/2 of you bet is on 2 so if the game lands on 2 you win half of your bet

    Yeah looks daunting, basic rule of thumb is any bet ending in 0.25 or 0.75 is really two bets dividing your total stake in half.

    Thanks for the info. I’m glad I asked before betting.

    Morroco -0.75 means if your wager is 200 u will have a $100 play on -0.5 and $100 play on -1

    It's definitely confusing at first but it's pretty cool betting option in the right spots
