Eg: Germany -1,-1 1/2?

Also can be represented by -1.25

It's called asian lines. Half your money is bet on each line. If Germany wins by 1 one pushes and one loses (you get 1/2 of your money back and lose the other half), if Germany wins by two you win both bets (the whole bet is successful).

Germany won by 2 so in this case you win both.
