question about soccer betting

[pita3713h]

quick question, what does it mean when for point spread there are two numbers for example ghana today is +.5,+1 for +144 does this mean ghana cant lose by more then 1? can someone explain this to me.

and moneyline bets that end in draw are a loss?

thank you

one more question, my book has serbia -.5 at -119 and moneyline -115 isnt it the same bet? why would i just not take the -115 because it is lower chalk?

2 numbers is a split handicap. +.5, +1 is also known as +0.75 and means you bet half your stake on +.5 and the other half on +1. So if you bet 10 bucks and Ghana loses by one you lose 5 and push the other 5. Result: -$5

ML and -0.5 is the same. Never understood why the odds sometimes differ either.

Because there is different markets for some bookies
