Conversely, if you bet the spread on Team B at +0.5, +1, or +1.5, Team B would need to win or draw to cash a bet of +0.5, or win, draw or lose by no more than one to cash a bet of +1.5. Should you bet Team B at +1, your bet would win if Team B draws or wins by any amount that is by more than one goal.

Football betting with +1.5, also known as Asian Handicap betting, is an increasingly popular way to bet on football matches. This type of bet gives one team a handicap, meaning that that team needs to win by two or more goals for the bet to be successful.
