Australia vs Paraguay: The Handicap Number at -120

Australia +0.25 (-120) still pays half on a Draw.

Australia +0.25 turns the match into a Draw-pressure bet: A level finish does not beat Australia +0.25; it pays half the ticket. That’s the point of the quarter line here—make the favorite do more than “not lose” in 90 minutes plus stoppage time.

Do not treat +0.25 like +0.5. The Draw helps, but it only pays half, not the full stake, which matters if you’re expecting a full cash on a 0-0 or 1-1.

If Australia wins, the ticket is a full win; if the match ends in a Draw, the ticket is a half-win; if Australia loses by any margin, the ticket is a full loss in 90 minutes plus stoppage time.

Playable to -120; pass at -121 or worse.

THE PLAY: Australia +0.25 (-120)
