    USA is +200

    Ghana is +145

    If I do the same amount on both teams isn't this guaranteed profit. I never did soccer before so is there something I'm missing? Info appreciated

    If they finish 1-1 a draw, you lose both bets.  Draw is at +240.

    Ghana is the strongest and more complete African team in the tournament. I just don't see USA beating them.

    Three options provide a different type of betting than most of us are familiar with - draws in WC are always possible - I prefer to just pick a winner and understand a draw will take me out - extreme juice for many of these 
    Brazil -315
    Chile -233
    France -330 
    High risk low reward , haven't been burned yet , considering the Dutch at -400 for next venture in to the high juice world

    Can someone explain:
    USA +120pk
    Ghana -145PK
    O 2.5
    U2.5
    USA +195
    Ghana +145
    Draw +240

    The first set equals a draw as a push? Where the second is -.5 for both plus the draw?

    The first set equals a draw as a push? Where the second is -.5 for both plus the draw?

    The first two options has no draw. A tie will indicate a push. There is no line between the two. You just pick (PK) a winner. However, if you bet USA (+120), you will win more than you risk. On the other hand, if you bet Ghana (-145), you will risk more than you will win.

    The next two set of numbers are over/under. You're betting if the total amount of goals on both teams combined will be over/under 2.5 goals.

    The last three set of numbers are called MONEY LINE. Either team has to win by 1 goal in order for you to win. Draw will be considered a lose. All three options are winning more than you risk. Just multiply the decimal value of each (+/-) sign to what you are betting.

    Example.

    USA +195; Betting $100

    1.95 X $100= $195

    Risk $100    Win $195

    (Negative sign will indicate the opposite of risk/win)

    The first set equals a draw as a push? Where the second is -.5 for both plus the draw?

    The first two options has no draw. A tie will indicate a push. There is no line between the two. You just pick (PK) a winner. However, if you bet USA (+120), you will win more than you risk. On the other hand, if you bet Ghana (-145), you will risk more than you will win.

    The next two set of numbers are over/under. You're betting if the total amount of goals on both teams combined will be over/under 2.5 goals.

    The last three set of numbers are called MONEY LINE. Either team has to win by 1 goal in order for you to win. Draw will be considered a lose. All three options are winning more than you risk. Just multiply the decimal value of each (+/-) sign to what you are betting.

    Example.

    USA +195; Betting $100

    1.95 X $100= $195

    Risk $100    Win $195

    (Negative sign will indicate the opposite of risk/win)
