To answer the first question, +0.5 and +1 means your bet gets cut in half like Ace Ace just suggested. If you bet $1000 on +0.5 and +1 at +100 (something you can't find anymore, but it's an easy math example), you have bet $500 on the team +0.5 and $500 on the team +1 (both are to win $500). If the team you are betting on +0.5 and +1 wins or draws, you win both bets. If they lose by 1 goal, you lose half your bet. If they lose by 2 or more goals, you lose the entire bet.
Ace, it appears as though you are "capping wise" on the right side of this wager. Minsk has been disappointing this year, in 8th place in their league, but since firing their previous manager, have won two out of three including knocking off the team in 2nd in their league. The problem that Minsk runs into is knowing that they have to score today to have any chances of going through. Should they be successful, both you and them should be celebrating. But should they fail, Anorthosis will be advancing to round two of the competition. Anorthosis is missing some players on their squad that were around in leg 1 in Minsk and the first leg was Anothosis's first go around with these players while Minsk in is mid-season form...
But to suggest that this game is rigged up once again is a bit concerning and baffling. Again, handicapping wise, I think you were on the right side at +1, as the worst case here is likely Anorthosis by a single goal (as if they score in this match, they know the worst case scenario is that they go to extra time unless they lose 2-1... but if they give up a goal, they know they have to win the match to assure advancing into round 2... if they give up two goals in the match, they have to net at least 3 to advance). But this games means a ton to both sides in terms of money, and just the thought of a Champion's League game being fixed... the greatest competition in Europe... makes me scratch my head.
Hope things turn out well for you, as I still believe you're on the right side... but not through a "fix"... so I hope it was someone telling you about capping and not a "fix"
