Over/under 1.5/2​

and

Handicap (0/-0.5)​

How do they work?

Over:Under 1.5/2 (or 1.75 as an Asian Handicap) would mean the following:

If the score finishes over or under 2 / you win 100% of the wager - however if the score finishes EXACTLY at 2 on the total - half the wager is graded as a push.

So if you bet $100 on odds of +100 (or 2.0) and you took under and score finishes 0-0 you win $100 for a total return of $200 ($100 risk and $100 win). If the score finishes at 2-0 you would be returned $50 of your stake (losing the u 1.5 wager and pushing on the 2).

Similarly - the second example would be an Asian odds of .25 and would require the team selected to win outright - if the game finishes in a tie - half the wager would be returned (the pk) and half lose (the -.5).

.75 would require winning by multiple goals for both wagers to win - as your betting -.5 and -1, f the team only won by a single goal - the first half is a winner and the second is a push resulting in return of all risk and half of the to win amount.

Thank you! Great explanation
