Help with World Cup wagering

There's really no chance I bet on even one of these games, but I am wondering about the lines offered.

Currently at BetJamaica you can bet on the spread or the moneyline, if you bet on the moneyline there is an option for a draw bet.

If you bet a team on the moneyline and it's a draw do you lose your bet?

If so why the hell would you bet that way?

Take Argentina, since it's the first game on the board right now.

Argentina -1 is +120, so if they get beat or game ends in a tie I lose, if they win by one it's a push, right? Seems simple.

But if thats the case why the hell would I bet the moneyline on the same team at -200 when I still lose if the game is a tie, I mean Draw?

I have to be missing something.

argent -1 +120 is a draw bet if argent win by 1goal margin, they must win by at least 2goal margin to cashin,
whereas moneyline -200 will cashin as long as argent win.

if the game end draw both bet lose

do me a favor pen,watch this argentina /coast game.to very diffrent teams that are very skilled up front.technical skill vs suberb athletes..and if youve got some exrtra $$ lying around at pinny take drogba to score a goal for ivory coast at +330.this guy is awsome and should have a moment in this game.

OK, Moe, I've got the game on now.

2-0 so far but a chitty game to me..ivory coast totally out classed.its only 2-0 but you can see its a total mismatch.ivory coast is overhped due to some players that play on big clubs,but as a team against a good team they are weak and its showing.

Now remember, I am a hockey fan so it's often I see shots ring off the post or just go wide on the far side, etc.... Seems to me this Ivory Coast team couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, considering the goal is almost as big as one and they are missing my 5-10 feet sometimes.

 

[Penguinfan]

Well, I guess if you have Argentina -1 you are sweating this.

droba +330 hope you took it..i figured if the coast scored it would be him!!!!!!!!!!

Great call, I didn't bet it, doubt I will bring myself to bet on this at all.

Wait a minute.

Am I reading this right? If I play a team on the moneyline and the game ends in 0-0 tie/draw....I lose??


Fawk that soccer shite.

moneyline plays also pay big..otherwise you would bet -.5 or +.5 ,just like hockey was for ages,until they adopted the shootout.

Doesn't matter, sometimes you can call a draw. Hockey and soccer are profitable sports to bet on if you know what you are doing. Get educated.
