    Usa belgium

    any thoughts on this friendly? going small on usa +1/2, just think they need a result in this one. dont think they want b2b losses under jurgy against costa rica and belgium following the mexico draw. it is only a friendly, lets keep that in mind.

    If they draw or win the bet is a winner.

    One of the things I never understood is why -1/2 and the moneyline usually have different odds when they are essentially the same play.

    US needs to go to a more attacking style. Think they can draw at worst.

    Thanks man. You should of heard the retarded guy on 5dimes answer saying that the moneyline and the +1/2 was the same thing then I'm like why does the moneyline pay more and hes like they are the same. He had no idea what he was talking about.

    Yeah, sounds like it. Pretty sure +1/2 and PK are essentially the same and -1/2 and ML are the same thing. They switch to -1/2 / +1/2 instead of PK/PK when there's a slight favourite.
