can someone please interpretate some lines for me?

[JoJo5473]

I am first time for soccer handicapping and I am not familiar with lines, can someone tell me how to interpretate the following lines, esp what does pk mean, and what outcome does pk and -0.5 represent?

Fulham: -0.5 and -1 +161
-0.5 +120
pk and -0.5 -113
pk -176
pk+0.5 -233

Aston Villa: +0.5 and +1 -178
+0.5 -132
pk and 0.5 +104
pk +159
pk and -0.5 +211

it quiet in here but ill give you the answer.

Fulham: -0.5 and -1 +161

can also be listed as .5/-1 or -.75

it means you will be splitting your bet with half going on Fulham -.5 and half on -1 both at the listed odds, meaning if Fullham wins by 1 goal you win on half your bet and push on the other. this goes for all the similar lines where two are listed.

Fulham: pk -176

May also be listed as +0 or DNB (draw no bet)

Soccer line are 3-way lines, meaning that a draw is a separate bet. By chosing a listed this way, the draw will be considered a push.
