World cup ?

[BearDown]

Pinnacle has the ML's at -1/2 and -1, and the totals at 2 and 2 1/2.

How does this play out if I play England -1/2 and -1 and England wins 1 - 0? Is it a push?

Great question..I was sort of wondering the same thing! If you look they have England -.5 @-163, and England pick@ -430. I was wondering why not just take England -.5. If they win by one you win both only you risk less...right?!

That's a good question to bwade. I'm not sure, it looks like if you take them at -1/2 you get them at -1 too.

aparrantly there are a lot of ties

actually there is 3 ml bets.....fav-dog-draw if you bet the fav.-they have to win outright....if you bet the dog-they have to win outright...if you bet draw- the game has to end tied... if none of these 3 outcomes happen, you lose your bet. thus you have -1/2 or -1 or -1 1/2 ....the totals always have a half included to avoid pushes (usually always 2-..some books have the total at 2 for extra juice) keep in mind alot of theses games end in draws...(don't have percentages)...anyways- i hope this helps you guys alittle bit.... good luck if you play these games ! I have a buddy of mine who is very solid at theses games- we went 1-1 today, but i will post some games if i get some free time....

Here's what I did...good luck to all tomorrow! I really love the World Cup! GO U.S.A!

Spread England (-1) vs Paraguay for Game +119


Spread England (-0.5) vs Paraguay for Game -168


Total Trinidad and Tobago/Sweden (O 2.5) for Game -127

Thanks Tash but no, it doesn't help. If you use pinnacle go look at their WC lines, if not here is what it looks like.

Sun 6/11 19 Mexico -0.5 and -1 -111 Iran +0.5 and +1 +105

Now, if I were to play Mexico -0.5 and -1 and Mexico wins 1 -0 do I win, or is it a push?

[STaylor36]

Bear- If you play Mexico -0.5 and -1 your bet is split in half. If Mexico wins by a goal you push 1 and lose the other. If Mexico wins by 2 goals you win both. If they lose or tie, you lose both.
