Egypt vs New Zealand: New Zealand +1 Protects the One-Goal Band

New Zealand +1 (-115) refunds on a one-goal loss. 

New Zealand +1 (-115) is a protection-first number: Egypt can win the match and still not beat your ticket if the margin stays to a single goal.

If New Zealand wins or the match ends in a Draw, the ticket is a full win; if New Zealand loses by exactly one goal, the ticket is a push/refund; if New Zealand loses by two or more goals, the ticket is a full loss in 90 minutes plus stoppage time.

That refund band is the entire point. A 1-0 Egypt win lands in the push lane, not the loss lane, which means the favorite has to clear a higher bar to do real damage. The clean beat comes only when Egypt win by 2+ in that 90-minute window.

Treat this like a margin ticket, not a “New Zealand must win” bet. Price-wise, keep it disciplined: play New Zealand +1 at -120 or better, and pass at -121 or worse. The way this loses is straightforward—Egypt win 2-0 or 3-1 and the protection disappears.

THE PLAY: New Zealand +1 (-115)
