  Key Angle: Algeria win or Draw cashes
  Line Discipline: Play Algeria +0.5 at -120 or better; pass at -121 or worse.

Algeria +0.5 is a protection buy: it shifts the question from “who wins?” to whether Switzerland can actually get over the win line in 90 minutes plus stoppage time. That’s the pressure band—Switzerland doesn’t get to simply avoid losing; they have to take the match.

Do not read Algeria +0.5 like an Algeria moneyline. A Draw is not dead weight here; it’s part of the payout. If Algeria wins or the match ends in a Draw, the ticket is a full win; if Algeria loses by any margin, the ticket is a full loss in 90 minutes plus stoppage time.

That means a 0-0 or 1-1 still cashes, and Switzerland must win outright in that window to beat you. The clean losing script is simple: even a 1-0 Switzerland win snaps the ticket.

This is also why it matters versus Algeria moneyline: the moneyline needs Algeria to win; +0.5 pays on the win-or-draw band you’re buying. Keep it disciplined on price: play Algeria +0.5 as long as it’s -120 or better; pass at -121 or worse.

THE PLAY: Algeria +0.5 (-110)
