A bet that ties — the outcome lands exactly on the line — so the stake is returned with no win or loss.
A push occurs when the result falls exactly on a whole-number line. On a total of 3.0, a 3-goal game pushes; on an Asian handicap of -1.0, a one-goal win pushes. The bet is void and your stake refunded.
Half-point lines (2.5, -0.5) can never push because the outcome cannot land exactly on a half-goal — which is why bookmakers use them to force a win/loss.
A pushed leg inside an accumulator does not lose the bet — it is simply removed and the accumulator recalculated at the reduced number of legs.
Quarter-ball Asian handicaps split the stake so half can push while the other half wins or loses.
Asian Handicap
A betting market that eliminates the draw by giving one team a goal head start — with fractional handicaps preventing any dead-heat outcomes.
Half-Ball & Quarter-Ball Handicaps
Asian handicap lines set at half- and quarter-goal increments (-0.5, -0.75) that remove the draw and, for quarter lines, split the stake.
Parlay (Accumulator)
A single bet combining multiple selections, where every leg must win — the odds multiply, and so does the risk.
Bet Settlement
The process of determining whether a bet won, lost, was voided or pushed once the event finishes — and paying out accordingly.
