Push
What a push means in sports betting settlement.
Quick answer
A push occurs when a wager lands exactly on a condition that the market rules treat as neither a win nor a loss, usually resulting in the stake being returned.
Common example
A team favored by -3 wins by exactly 3 under standard whole-number spread rules.
Not every market can push
Half-point lines eliminate exact ties on the spread or total.
Parlays
Operators can have specific rules for how pushed legs affect multi-leg wagers.
