what is minus -3/4 in soccer?

If you have bet on a team with a ¾ goal start, you will lose 50 % if your team loses by 1 goal. For all other results you will either win 100% or lose 100% depending on which team you backed with your bet. A draw (and thereby a "push" situation) is impossible.

JJ let say i bet Glasco -3/4, IF they win by 1 goal? I win 100%?

If they tie the game? I lose 100%

if they win by 1 goal you win 50% and 50% is a push
if they tie, you lose all

No, you will lose 1/4. Or gain that much if its +1/4

No, they win by 1 goal, you'll win 1/4. If they tie you lose.

A split handlicap like this means that your stake is split in two.

Half the risk amount is wagered at -0.5
Half the risk amount is wagered at -1.0

This is why I like the way Pinnacle displays asian odds, you can just look at it as two different bets. Be careful at live betting with asian odds though...
