I will illustrate with an example.
Saturday morning's EPL clash between Everton and Middlesboro offers several options. There is the three way bet whereby you recieve increased odds on your selected team but they must win the game, a tie (very common) is a loss.
Everton + 200
M'boro + 125
Draw + 220
Then you can bet without the draw but at decreased odds, meaning that if the game is a tie you get a push.
Everton + 105
M'boro - 145
So if Everton win the game 1-0 you will recieve $105 for every $100 instead of the $200 originally offered because you took the safety net of the draw getting you your money back.
With the over/under the game will usually be offered at either 2 or 2.5 or very rarely 3 goals. They offer an option where you can decide to bet the O2.25 which means essentially that you have wagered half your stake on the O2.5 and half on the O2 at different odds. If there are 3 goals scored you win both wagers but again at a lesser price because you choose the safer option of half your wager being a push if the total landed on 2 goals.
Any questions ?

Most soccer wagers consist of a 3 way line..
Apr-27 111 VASCO DA GAMA RJ (BRA-CUP) +½ -168
7:30 PM 112 VOLTA REDONDA RJ (BRA-CUP) -½ +138
** These bets are usually for the 1st 90 minutes of play and do not include overtime. They also will have a draw line, and some books will offer a 1st half and 2nd half line...I know 5dimes does this on major leagues (UEFA, Premier League..and so forth.)

What is “1x2 Coupon wagering”? Look at the World Cup first game:
Germany vs Costa Rica
1. Germany -285
2. Draw +322
3. Costa Rica +989
On this type of bet, you have 3 selections. If you bet on Germany and either Costa Rica wins, or the game ends regulation time in a draw, your Germany wager loses. If Germany wins in regulation, you win $100 for every $285 put at risk (this is how all favorites are priced – the number after the minus sign is how much you must risk to win $100). If you bet on Costa Rica, a $100 ticket would pay $989, plus you would get your $100 back for a total payout of $1089 (all underdogs are priced this way – the winnings on a $100 ticket is the amount after the “+” sign).
What is “Asian Handicap” wagering? It is similar, but it uses a spread, and there is no draw option. For that same game, there are these offerings:
Germany vs. Costa Rica
1. Germany -1 goal -156
2. Costa Rica +1 goal +148
At the end of regulation, the spread of 1 goal is added to Costa Rica’s score. If Germany wins by exactly one goal, all bets would be a push and refunded. If Germany wins by 2 or more goals, the player wins $100 for each $156 risked. If Costa Rica won the game or played to a draw, Costa Rica backers would win $148 for each $100 risked.
In some cases, there will be two spreads listed for a matchup in an Asian handicap. Consider this game:
Sat 4/22 NY Red Bulls Pk and -0.5 +112
DC United Pk and +0.5 -122
When two spreads are listed, half of your wager is graded at each spread. If you selected DC United to win $100, your wager would be graded with $50 at Pk, and $50 at +0.5 goals. If the game ended in a tie, you would win $50. If DC United won the game, you would win $100. If DC lost the game, you would lose your entire $122 put at risk.
Totals can also have two spreads, and work similar to spreads. For example, if a player bet Under 2.5 and 3 -108, half his bet would be under 2.5, and half would be under 3. Just as in the spread betting, he could win or lose half a bet depending on what he bets.
