Paraguay vs Turkey: Take the Half Goal at -117

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

Paraguay +0.5 (-117) cashes if Paraguay avoids defeat in 90 minutes plus stoppage time.

You’re not picking a straight winner here—you’re buying a half-goal of protection that turns the decision into “can Paraguay avoid defeat?” rather than “will Paraguay win.”

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

That’s the key mechanism: the Draw is part of the payoff, so a 0-0 or 1-1 is a full cash instead of leaving you empty-handed the way a Paraguay moneyline would. In exchange, you’re paying a bit more for that protection.

Turkey must win in 90 minutes plus stoppage time to beat this handicap.

Play Paraguay +0.5 at -120 or better; pass at -121 or worse.

THE PLAY: Paraguay +0.5 (-117)
