It is an asian handicap which basicaly puts half of your bet on the pk and half on the +.5 with both at -105. Betting against the Gunners, risky, hope it works.

Chelsea are up 1-0 now after having a goal wrongly cancelled for offside.

Seems you were right. Arsenal leading 2-1 with only 5 minutes left.

So one wagers a dollar. $50 is on pk & $50 is on +.5? Can you defer one or the other?

Yes General .5 is on a pk at -105 and .5 is +.5 at -105. But no you can not defer either half. Normally Pinnacle will let you pick your line with the use of a drop down menu, i.e. (pk, pk & +.5, or +.5), all with differnet payouts of course. But they don't get as much action on FA cup games so they don't bother.

If you like the Pinny line but only want half of it you could offset the half you don't want at another book. But then of course you could have bet the half you did want at that book as well.
