Ivory Coast vs Germany: Germany Has to Win by Two

Ivory Coast +1 (+111) is a bet against Germany winning by margin.

Germany can be the better side and still fail to beat this number. This is not a bet that Ivory Coast are better on paper — it is a bet that Germany may not separate enough to turn superiority into a two-goal result.

Do not reduce the handicap to a simple “who wins?” bet. **If Ivory Coast wins or the match ends in a Draw, the ticket is a full win; if Ivory Coast loses by exactly one goal, the ticket is a push/refund; if Ivory Coast loses by two or more goals, the ticket is a full loss in 90 minutes plus stoppage time.** A 1-0 Germany result is a refund, not a loss — that one-goal boundary is the battleground.

That is the pressure point: 1-0 Germany is not enough to beat you. Germany needs 2-0, 3-1, or worse to hand you a full loss.

Price discipline matters here: play Ivory Coast +1 at -120 or better; pass at -121 or worse.

THE PLAY: Ivory Coast +1 (+111)
