Algeria vs Jordan: Algeria Must Find a Second Goal

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

Jordan +1 (+103) refunds on a one-goal loss. 

Jordan +1 is a margin-and-protection ticket: Algeria can win the match and still not beat your number. The whole bet lives in that one-goal band where the favorite’s win isn’t enough to turn it into a loss.

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

Senegal vs Norway: The Bar Norway Must Clear

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

Senegal +0.25 (+100) still pays half on a Draw. 

Senegal +0.25 is a quarter-goal position that pays you for landing on level—useful when the Draw is the pressure point in this price range. You’re not buying a full Draw cushion like +0.5; you’re buying partial protection while keeping full upside if Senegal wins.

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

Austria vs Argentina: Argentina Must Win by Two

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

Austria +1 (-107) refunds on a one-goal loss.  

Austria +1 is a margin bet with built-in protection: Argentina can win the match and still not beat your ticket unless they add a second goal. That’s the whole job of +1 here—own the one-goal band and force the favorite to separate on the scoreboard.

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

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

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

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.

Iran vs Belgium: The One-Goal Gap Matters

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

Iran +1.25 (-101) still pays half on a one-goal loss. 

Iran +1.25 (-101) is a quarter-line built for the gap between Belgium winning by one and Belgium winning by two. It’s not asking you to fade Belgium outright; it’s asking Belgium to do more than just win by a single goal to punish your ticket.

If Iran wins or the match ends in a Draw, the ticket is a full win; if Iran loses by exactly one goal, the ticket is a half-win; if Iran loses by two or more goals, the ticket is a full loss in 90 minutes plus stoppage time.

Curaçao vs Ecuador: Even a Two-Goal Ecuador Win Still Pays Half

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

Curaçao +2.25 (-112) gives you protection across the one- and two-goal bands.

Ecuador can be better and still not do enough to beat this ticket cleanly. The bet is not asking Curaçao to win the match. It is asking Ecuador to avoid turning a favorite role into a three-goal result.

Do not lump a one-goal loss and a two-goal loss together as “a cover” or “a loss.” This quarter line keeps both bands alive while still letting you cash on the best outcomes.
