So far I still don't understand soccer betting terms

0-1 is not a HT/FT prop like X/1, X/2 by the looks of it. Just looks like a scorebet, as in this will be the final score. Don't mean to be rude or anything, but can't the bookie in question probably answer your questions of their type of bets in their customer support? Quicker answers can usually be found here, but no such luck today, eh?

You're correct on all the others, unless 1-1 refers to a scorebet. FT/HT bets are usually recognized by being put apart by a /. - are usually used in scorebets.

1-1 and 0-1 should be bets on the correct score. Whereas a slash indicates a HT/FT bet. So the correct term for betting on Draw (HT) / Home win (FT) would be x/1.

Unless the bookie is retarded a draw is always indicated by an 'x' and not a '0'.

Thanks. I will have to study more.

Some books display the european handicap 0-1 which is same as -1.5

It can be a handicap like Slainte said -1.5 but sometimes instead of draw X bookies use 0
so 0-1 means draw HT and home team FT

I do agree with Slainte and Tommy. This is not about the bookie but about the handicappers who give away their pick for free. I sometimes see 0-1 or 2-1 or 1-2.
If it goes to the correct score, the odds will be at least >6.
The correct score mostly use 0:0 or 1:0.

my local book, bet 365 and other europe based books by 0-1 (not the same notation as 0:1) mean the sum of goals. some books call it multi-goal. so you have three options, most of the time. they are 0-1, 2-3, or 4+. it's similar to over/under but here you have three possible outcomes and no push. some cappers say it's pretty easy to hit 2-3 multi-goal - i guess they have some kind of system.
