What is Push?
A bet that ends in a tie against the line and is refunded with no profit or loss.
Definition
A push happens when the result lands exactly on the line - for example, a -3.0 spread when the favourite wins by exactly 3 points, or an Over 2.5 market that settles on exactly 2 goals (no, that's an under loss; the push case is Over/Under at integer line like Over 3.0 with exactly 3 goals). Pushes refund your stake. Asian Handicap markets at half-line (-1.5, -2.5) cannot push; full-line (-1, -2) can. In a parlay, a pushed leg drops out and the parlay recalculates around it.
Example
Bet $50 on Brazil -1 in a match Brazil wins 2-1. Brazil covered exactly the spread → push, $50 refunded.
