I wonder what he had for Russia at +1/2. Could have made for
a profitable scalp if high enough.

sorry for the ignorant question? ... what is a scalp?

betting both sides and ensuring a profit

example

Spain -250
Russia +.5 +300

You could bet Spain to win $110 at a cost of $275 and bet Russia to win $300 at a risk of $100. If Spain wins, you win $110 and lose 100 for a $10 profit, if it is a draw or Russia wins, you win $300 and lose $275 for a $25 profit.
