Question about point spread lines

[arceo]

thinking about betting on england in case they win i wanna be on it.. but i dont wanna lay the super chalk..what is this alternate line saying?

-1,-1½ -189
-1,-1½ -189 ? so if England wins 1-0 do i lose or just push?

nope if its -1 AND -1.5 it means that if England wins by 1, then you PUSH and LOSE
therefore if you "invest" 100 bucks on that play, and the result is 1-0 for England. You would get 50 back and lose the other 50

alrite thanks!! that shit doesnt even sound good lmao might as well bet england with 2 goals then cause id need it lol

 

[Martinga]

well, its one of those plays that "guarantees" that as long as England wins by a goal, you won't lose all money.....
if they score 2, you win it
