well this double odds bet - arsenal to be winning by halftime, then by the end of the game it ends as a draw...
500quid - returns 7500 - total of 8k in your pocket
im tempted i have to say..
But it's good returns because bookies think it's less likely as Barcelona are the stronger team (if the odds are correct). 50% chance of Barcelona winning according to Betfair odds.500quid - returns 7500 - total of 8k in your pocket

Do you think the odds are incorrect?

yep.. i can imagine arsenal scoring early though... (been a arsenal fan since i was a baby so i might be biased) however... it is possible but 500 pounds is alot...the odds of arsenal winning by halftime then drawing at the end? no however the odds being hugely stacked in barca's favour are...
recall the last few years - arsenal have done ok in the first leg then got humilated in the 2nd leg

At any point? Can they win part of the way through the game then?

The win will be twice as good... but the loss will be twice as painful.Apply the Emotional Hedge: lay bet your team to win.
Edit: this is brilliant; looks like I'm not the first to use an emotional hedge bet... I always thought it was my stupid little idea.

How about see how it goes in-game. Based on the way the odds move, they will be as follows depending on outcomes:
-If Arsenal score first, it should send the odds down to ~2.5 and Barc's odds up to about 4. The draw won't move much after the first goal in the first half so may be around 4 still.
-If Barc scores first, the odds for Barc will drop to ~1.5. Arsenal odds will jump to ~15.
-If no goal scored in first half, Arsenal odds will be about 5, Barc odds about 2.5, draw about 3.5.
With this in mind... Ok, I have no damned idea what you can do to make decent money from it.
Interestingly, www.soccervista.com doesn't have a prediction for these international games...
Oh, and on Betfair, the big money is being matched on Barc. So... perhaps all the fanbois are betting on Barc so laying Barc could be a cheaper/better option? I'll let you know at 10pm tonight.

OP, your sounding like a bit of a novice. £500 sounds like far too much for you to be risking on this type of game, is it your money? I see your logic in that Arsenal usually perfrom well in the first leg but then your reasoning the arguement by dreaming of what you can buy. It sounds as if £800 would be a good return for you, why not just stick to your £50 stakes?
Me personally, i'm going for a Barca and Notts Forest double tonight, pays just under 3/1. Cannot see that Arsenal defence and keeper stopping Messi, Villa, Pedro, Xavi and Iniesta...
Good luck with whatever you do...
ETA, just read your other thread, why not put 250 on Arsenal/draw and 250 on Arsenal/Barca?
