example the greece vs. korea line has a Greece PK -120 Korea PK +100. Then has GREECE +165, KOREA +177, DRAW +200.
I have no idea what I am looking at.. I want to take Korea.. tell me how to read these Soccer lines... Do you lose if the game ends in a tie??

Okay so the first one is spread. The PK means you get your money back if it finishes in a draw/tie. If you take Korea pk and they win, you win. You can only lose if Greece win this game.

The second one if you take Greece +165 they have to win or you lose your money. Draw +200 it has to be a tie or you lose your money. Korea +177 means Korea has to win or you lose your money.

the first one is the spread. it is a pick 'em. there is more juice (have to pay more to make more) on these plays bc in the case of a draw the spread wager would push. the second is the money line it has a better payout bc you dont have the comfort of getting your money back in the case of a tie. then draw is if the teams tie you win but if one team has more goals then the other after 90' you lose. if you feel real confident in north korea, are a gambler, and think they will win play +177. you could take the more conservative approach at taking them +100 which is called an even pay out bet 10 to win 10. you would do this if you feel korea had a slight edge but werent too confident. i hope that helps
