    Confused about soccer wagering
    placed a wager on Portland Timbers "pk, -1/2,"

    Real Salt Lake scored in the 90 minute to tie the game up , ending the match in a draw.

    I thought since I bet the "pk" that it would be a push but I look at my ticket and it says this

    $44.49 $31.78 $22.24 Loss 8/21/13 11:00pm USA MLS Soccer 155 Portland Timbers (USA-MLS) pk,-½ -140* vs Salt Lake (USA-MLS)

    They gave me half my money back, is this correct or should the bet have been fully refunded?

    You didnt just bet on the PK though, you bet on "PK, -1/2" which is "-0.25" so you have a handicap of -0.25 from the start. Thus you lost half of your stake as only half of the play (the PK side) hit.
