    Need help understanding the knockout rd of Euro 2012 (odds)
    Never played soccer outside of some random tails.

    I however, do not understand what the difference, real or conceptually between the ML and Goals.

    For instance:

    Jun 23 6209 SPAIN -130<input type="checkbox" name="text_" value="4_165878_0_-130" style="margin-left: 3px; "> o2-120<input type="checkbox" name="text_" value="2_165878_-2_-120" style="margin-left: 3px; "> -½-130<input type="checkbox" name="text_" value="0_165878_-0.5_-130" style="margin-left: 3px; ">
    2:45 PM 6210 FRANCE +385<input type="checkbox" name="text_" value="5_165878_0_385" style="margin-left: 3px; "> u2EV<input type="checkbox" name="text_" value="3_165878_2_100" style="margin-left: 3px; "> +½+110<input type="checkbox" name="text_" value="1_165878_0.5_110" style="margin-left: 3px; ">
    2:45 PM 6211 Draw +245<input type="checkbox" name="text_" value="6_165878_0_245" style="margin-left: 3px; ">

    Alright, In the ML situation, you have the option of a draw (obviously in a knockout rd, the draw means at the end of 90+injury time). In the Goals situation, you have no option to play draw, and are laying a whole half point (Spain) for the same odds. What is the benefit of grabbing the goals, if it does not include the entire game, i.e. all the way to PK's if necessary?

    I understand the concepts in matches that aren't forced to decide a winner, and in fact end in draws. However, that is not the case in the knockout stages.

    Is it possible, (although I think this might give a severe edge to the player), that the Goals play does in fact mean the entire match - all the way to PK's if necessary? That just seems unlikely the case.

    Lookin' for some insight. If I am not making my question clear, please let me know and I will try to reword.
