Can someone explain to me the difference between betting Poland -1/2 for +117 and Pk, -1/2 for -108. Does pk mean Poland can win or draw and I would win? Not understanding why you would take -108 over +117. Thanks!

Pk, -1/2 is asian odds, it means you would put half of your bet on Pk and the other half on -1/2. So, if you bet $100, then $50 on Pk and $50 on -1/2. If the score is tie, you will lose the $50 on -1/2, and push on the $50 on Pk.

PK - If Poland wins, you win. If they draw, push.
-1/2 - Same as ML. Poland must win. Any other result means you lose.

So in other words all its doing is giving me half of my money back if Poland draws? If I bet 100 and Poland draws what would I get back? 50 for half a push and nothing else?

Yep, if you bet the "PK, -1/2" for $100, and Poland draws, you will only get $50 back for the PK part, and lose $50 for the -1/2

if Poland wins, you will win both parts with the odds of -108. So, you would win about $93.
Of course, you will lose all your $100 if Poland loses.

That's why -1/2 is +117 and "PK, -1/2" is -108

Thanks, finally makes sense.
