    For all you futbol heads...please educate me.

    When betting a spread, such as -.5, does a tie equal a push? I am assuming so since it does not include the draw bet option, like the money line bets do. Thanks and I appreciate the information.

    -0,5 is the same as ML! So in case of a draw u lose!

    U only get a push in soccer if u pick the PK option.

    And just to be clear PK or draw-no-bet is the same as asian handicap 0.

    but I am confused because I can't understand why anyone would bet a -.5 spread, when they can get better odds on the ML?

    Technically -0,5 and ML should be the same odds...

    Because there is a limit on how much you can wager on ML as well as on -0.5

    Normally you will get the -0.5 if your trying to bet early. ML normally appears later. You should wait since you will get -1.5 or -1

    I'd rather pay a little more juice and get 0, -.5 and get the push in the event that there is a draw. I have found that with 5 dimes, the ML's are up before the spreads...I just now was able to get the Asian betting option. I appreciate everyone explaining this to me. THanks.
