Betting Help !!

[Zola1987]

Hi Guys, Apologies if this is in the incorrect section but i was wondering if anyone could help me out with the following bet. Bit of a newbie to betting but I placed a treble which were double handicap selections with the following odds below. 1.Portugal -0.5,-1.0 @ 1.95 2.Germany -1.0,-1.5 @ 1.87 3.Shamrock Rovers 0.0,-0.5 @1.57 So with a £10 stake:- I understand with Selection 1 I believe half my stake is returned and half is a winner at the odds taken? Selection 3 was a winner and selection 2 is tomorrow. Selection 2... I believe if the team wins the match by two goals or more I win. However f it wins by one goal you lose 50 per cent of the stake. So what I was wondering if Germany say won by one goals tomorrow rather than 2. Do I still win money from the previous selections? or is this treble now void?? I'm starting to confuse myself here and do not even know if im making any sense... so any help on this would be much appreciated!! Thanks in Advance Dave

I'm guessing your handicap bets are Asian (2-way) not English (3-way). You can normally tell if they are Asian Handicap because there will be only 2 choices instead of 3. Regarding bet 2 - 2.Germany -1.0,-1.5 @ 1.87 Half the bet is -1 and half is -1.5, so for the whole bet to win, Germany have to win by 2 goals. As far as I know, if Germany fail to win by at least 2 goals, the treble accumulator loses. You'll find a 'football betting rules' section somewhere on the bookmaker's website which will confirm.
