Why are there 2 numbers in the ps line?
Eg: Germany -1,-1 1/2?

Does that mean germany gives up a point in the 1st half and 1 1/2 in the second?

Thank you. Now some body give me some picks. I got the euro 2012 qualifiers on espn 3 and im laying in bed sick and this seems like a great way to pass the time. Ive never really watched a soccer match mind you but i am a little familiar with the euro 2012 format for qualifying and my intrest is piqued. I just need to spice it up with a few timley wagers

Thank you to the soccer board for helping me out. Here are my thoughts on todays games i watched/ gambled on.
Germany v Belgium: germany played with a deliberate pace until it was time for to counter strike and put in belgiums arse quick.
Georgia v greece: under dog georgia went up early with a goal and greece hung around and came to life in the second period. They fired off a long goal midway thru the 2nd and set up a beautiful poke to seal the deal late in the game. My fave game
Ireland v armenia: frick ireland. They were outmatched at home and armenia played sloppy and killed themselves with stupid mistakes around their own goal. Goalie redcarded for handling the ball outside the box, some armenian dipshit scored in his own goal to cap off a wonderful first period of clusterfricked play. Ireland still couldnt stop armania with a man down from pressing the entire second half. They deserved to lose or draw at least.
Denmark v portugal: idk what happened all i know is the total points scored over +2.5 and that made me happy
Esp v scotland: spain was toying with scotland and was very fast and athletic but i think Germany was the best team I saw play today.

I plan on wagering on more soccer matches in the future.

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.
