    Soccer guys give me some help here

    Now this is the line for the USA game

    PORTUGAL Props
    26358 USA
    26359 Draw


    I understand that if i take Portugal at -.5 -115 they have to win to get paid. The money line from what i believe is also -115. Why would i risk a 1/2 goal when the line even is -115 also?

    It means the exact same thing. Portugal has to win the game, a Draw is a loss since the Money Line is a 3-way line.

    is there an advantage anywhere if took Port at -.5 -115 instead of ML -115 or vice versa?

    No none whatsoever, they are the exact same thing. Oddly, you will actually find a few games occasionally where the -0.5 and the ML are a few cents off. Only in those cases, the advantage is in taking the better price.
