Let me get this straight. Score is now 1-0. Assume I've placed a bet on each column of Inter Milan.
-0.5 means Inter are winning by 0.5 goals instead of 1.0 so need 1 goal for my bet to win.
-0.5,-1.0 means Inter means Inter are winning by 0.5 goals instead of 1. If it stays 1-0 I get half my money back, if Inter win by 2, I win.
-1 I have absolutely no idea.
Depends. Is it in-play and perhaps bet365?
If so, they do not *count* that first goal for this so to win Inter would have to win by 3-0 or bigger. 2-0, you get your stake back, and if it's just a goal advantage win, draw or loss, you lose.
Funnily, not the case with goal line.
Slev go watch a youtube video on handicap betting it will explain it better than me. When you bet the handicap inplay, the handicap is in effect at the correct scoreline. So at -1 while they are winning by 1. You will need to win by 3 goals to win the bet but you would get your bet back if they only win by 2.
Silly bet365 has me winning "over 1.0 in first half" bet. There was some feck up, and they had 2-0 score for a minute or so. Enough for me to *win*. Waiting now for message and them taking away the winnings.
Going to keep an eye in-play on all the First Division games in Denmark for goals today, in particular Frederikia v Nykobing at 12:45. 39 goals in 8 games for Frederikia so far, and plenty in Nykobing's too.

Score stays 1-0.
-0.5 you lose
-0.5, -1.0 you lose
-1 you lose
-1.0,-1.5 you lose
-1.5 you lose
Score is 2-0 (or 3-1, or 4-2, etc)
-0.5 win
-0.5, -1.0 half stake wins, half stake you get back
-1 whole stake back
-1.0,-1.5 half stake back, rest you lose
-1.5 you lose
Score is 3-0 (or any win with 3 goals advantage)
You win all five.
That's for in-play, and placing the bet when it was already 1-0 for Inter.
And of course, it happened. Blast it!
Let's imagine you put $1 on that wager.
It's spit into 2, 0.50 on -1.0 and 0.50 on -1.5.
If they win by 1 goal, you get your 0.50 back on the -1.0 wager and lose the -1.5 wager. So you would only get half your money back.
If they win by 2 goals or more, you win both wagers.
Hope that's understandable.
Sorry didn't see the question was already answered.
Thank you both.
I think I understand now, one or more examples in later games and I should get this. Seems a way better bet than 1X2
Playing handicap always better rather than 1x 2.
You can also play mix parlays with handicap, even the odds will be little lower but the chance of losing money can be reduced.
@Slevs , this is my parlays for an example :
Burnley@0
Swansea@0
Hertha@0
Schalke@0
Lazio@0
Udinese@0
Villareal@0
St. Etiene@0
Vitoria Guimares@0
Aves@0
Estoril@0
That parlay will give an odd of 92.76 in bet365...i put $2 for it.
And you can also cash out if the time of the games are difference.

Persic saved my bet! Burnley @2.20
Easy like Sunday morning, mate. Burnley 1-0.
Been reading up on it. Kind of understand but didn't encounter at 0? What's that.
Burnley -0.5,-1 @ 2.5
Lumped on Burnley. Can't believe their price today.
Frederikia 1-0 up at HT. They're yet to keep a clean sheet all season and they're up against a strong Nykobing side. BTTS is 4/6, Nykobing over 1.5 goals 10/3 and DNB 7/1. Probably small stakes on latter two and a bigger one on the first if it reaches evens in-play.
Burnley - Palace, over 1.5 goals in 1st Half @ 1.66 (1-0, 13th minute)
It means if the team wins you will get the winning money.If the team draws, you will get the bet stake refund. It's more like draw no bet.
It is the handicap. At 0.0. if draw you will not loose any of your money.
Sooner they get the 2nd goal the better!
AC Milan +0,+0.5 @1.91
Gutted. Was super confident Nykobing would bag. Going to try and recover some cash on Milan to score in the second half v Lazio. 2-0 down so have to go for it, Lazio more often than not concede at home (and you have to go back to 2012 to find the last time Milan failed to score here) and most of their clean sheets come against pretty toothless sides. Milan have had a good summer and can bring on Andre Silva and Kalinic if they are struggling. 7/10 to score at the moment, if they start strong in the 2nd half I'll be on that. Also had BTTS at Bilbao after Girona started brightly so fingers crossed there too.
Sunday is turning out to be better than Saturday. First Burnley and now Lazio giving me winnings. Hopefully Swansea can add to it as well.
Yesterday Bayern and United disappointed big time.

Waiting for Red Bull to win after Burnley and AZ, playing 10 men since about 15 mins and somehow one nil down.
Burnley won but Milan totally fecked up. Got a good tennis bet, Daniel Elahi Galan Bogoto final @1.9
Well that was a crazy 90 minutes with Cultural Leonesa v Valladolid. Three penalties, with one of them saved. Leonesa were 2-1 up just after the break. Then Vallodolid scored 3 goals in 10 minutes to go 4-2 up. With 12 minutes left, I gave up on the acca below but I kept watching cause I just knew the madness would continue. Sure enough Leonesa scored 2 more goals on 5 minutes to level the score...and keep my acca alive.
Should I just cash this fecker out. I think Napoli will have one eye on the Champions League games like Atletico, Bayern, Monaco, Real Madrid who all stumbled over the weekend. Don't want to push my luck though. But I do fancy a score draw in that game?

Great bet but why did you atleast not put £1 on it?
I have no advice for that last game it's a bit too hard to call.
Hindsight's such a wonderful thing isn't it? They very rarely come off so I just do them for fun. I might have done 20 or 30 of these hence the very low stakes. If they come off, great. If not, I've only lost a few quid!
Feck off Marseille!!!!!!
Ha I suppose.
I'm not a rich man my any means but should have put at least 50p on each one!
These bets sound quite fun I might even start putting 10/20 50p bets on a week.
Got on after 20 mins @2.025. A first half goal had been scored in Huancayo's last 18/20 aways so the stats were fairly strong. The home side Rosario were a coin flip using the same range so overall pretty happy with that price. Sporting Cristal are the only other team from Peru I'm familiar with tbh. Do you watch the games you bet on over there?
I might do these 3 or 4 times a week in addition to my usual 10-20 fold accas. So you can see I have to keep the stakes on the downlow. I'm not a high roller by any means, though I do make regular donations to my bookies.
Anyway, I cashed that sucker out. Put a few quid on Napoli to draw 0-0 or win 1-0, which means Bologna will score as soon as the second half kicks off.
I've seen bets from other sports in this thread from time to time and was wondering if any other members are interested in horse racing?
Well played, sir. I'm gonna use that!
Nice work!
Yup, I am.
Depends how confident I am in a bet and how much I'm willing to stake. I'll watch them if there's something I'm confident with pre-match and I want to see how likely it looks in-play without relying on the rball, which can be misleading.
Had Malaga vs Las Palmas Under 3.5 goals as part of my acca.
Both teams struggle to score... should've been a sure bet...
Las Palmas have just won 1-3.
