    help with a brazil bet on bodog

    2 different bets,

    one says pt spread and is -250 and other is money line -110

    but they aren't favored to win by 1 or anything, so the correct play is money line???

    I have 50 at Bodog and willing to risk it all on brazil win. I know nothing about soccer and even know brazil won't lose

    I'd go w/ Brazil 2-0... but I'm willing to pay the extra $$$ for the PK at -250 to save me in case of a draw.

    If you play the -250 on Brazil and it's a draw (push) you get your money back.
    If you play the -110 on Brazil and it's a draw, you lose your $. They must win for you to win.

    I like Brazil (PK) and the under on this one.

    Neither team is favored b/c this will be a close one. While most feel that Brazil will win, it will probably not be by more than 1 pt. This could also easily end up 0-0 and go to a shootout. Good value in a draw here... or at least betting on a draw for the first half.

    The moneyline for Brazil is currently set at -120 at bodog. But if you bet the ML and Brazil ends up tying the Dutch then you lose your $$$. They must WIN for you to win.

    The -250 (pick em) is a cushion for your bet. This is a good idea if you feel confident that Brazil will not lose. But they could win or tie. If they win, you get your stake money back + winnings. If they tie you get your money back. If they lose, you lose your money.

    money line = spread -0.5

    the -250 odds is for brazil spread +0

    all of them apply to 90 minutes + injury time, excluding extra-time and penalty kicks.

    yeah I should have mentioned that the -250 doesn't include ET. Look for "to advance" props
