This refers to how much you have to bet in order to keep the bonus you get from depositing. A "3 x deposit rollover" would mean that you have to make bets totalling 3 times your initial deposit (if you want to keep the bonus they give you.)
Moneyline:
A moneyline of +126 means you would risk $10 to win $12.60.
A moneyline of -136 means you would have to risk $13.60 for every $10 you want to win.
Spread:
A spread of +1.5 means you are getting an extra 1.5 points added to your team's score.
A spread of -1.5 means you are subtracting 1.5 points from your team's score.
If you see +1.5 -136, it means you are betting $13.60 to win $10, and you will win your bet unless your team loses by more than 1 point.
If you see -1.5 +126, it means you are betting $10 to win $12.60, and you will win your bet ONLY IF your team wins by more than 1 point.
Soccer is particularly confusing, because some lines include the tie possibility and others don't. It's not always obvious what's going on. Be sure you carefully read the "soccer rules" before betting.

Thanks Dunbar!
These definitions were extremely useful to me!
I also read some definitions on BetWWTS...they explain a lot of things, I recommend it.
By the way, I´ve signed up on Pinnacle, after that discussion on the other thread
Thank you!
