Barca -1 1/2 or -1 3/4? Difference?

I want to take the Barca spread but I have two different lines (from my two online sportsbooks) I can choose from

1) Barca -1 1/2 -145
2) Barca -1 3/4 -115

Wouldn't it be wise to just go with the #2? Is there any difference?

30 cents difference for a good reason. Don't bet on this sport if you don't understand asian handicaps.

#1 Barca needs to win by 2 goals to win the bet

#2 Barca win with 3+ (3-0/4-1 etc) you win the bet, Barca win by 2 you get half win, Barca win by 1 you lose

I honestly think if Barca can get it to 2-0 they will get at LEAST one more goal because chelsea will have to try to attack

I hope they get crushed...would be pretty dissapointing to see a team like Chelsea stay within the box for the whole final

I like for Barca to bounce back today after that disappointing loss last week to Chelsea. I'm going with the -1 1/2

-1½ and -1½, -2 are quite different. I laid the extra juice with -1½ because Barcelona will have to cover that to advance (unless they win exactly 1-0 and go extra time but that is highly unlikely) -1½, -2 means they will have to win by 3 to win the whole bet and that's a tall order. I'm expecting 2-0 or 3-1 final.
