⍰ ASK What is a Push in Sports Betting? Explanation for Beginners

Hi everyone, in this post I will explain a betting term for beginners: what does "push" mean in sports betting? I know that expert members will find this explanation basic, but it is meant to help newbies understand some terms that you and I may have ignored when we started playing in the past

That being said, what is a push in sports betting? A "push" occurs when bettors get back their money because they neither win nor lose the bet. Well, The concept is easy to understand. Imagine there's a match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. You place a bet on Real Madrid with a point spread of -1. This means Real Madrid needs to win by more than 1 goal for you to win the bet. Right?

👉 If Real Madrid wins by exactly 1 goal (e.g., 2-1), the result is a "push." Your bet neither wins nor loses, and your stake is refunded.
👉 If Real Madrid wins by more than 1 goal (e.g., 3-1), you win the bet.
👉 If Real Madrid draws or loses, you lose the bet.
 
Okay, so this is how I see it: "push" in betting is essentially the game's way of saying, "Hey, no harm, no foul." It's like you're in betting limbo if you wager on Real Madrid to win by more than one goal and they only win by precisely one. You don't win, but you also don't lose your money. Since you get your stake back rather than losing it all, it's a cool result, to be honest. It's helpful for novices to know this so they won't lose their minds when their wager simply "pushes." Refunds can occasionally be the lucky break you need to continue playing the game.
 
Ninety nine percent of bettors I know in the world never bet on score match, means this exact score, 1 or X or 2 or handicap or asian handicap or even push like you say or european handicap is rare in bets, most of them are over under or both team score or not score and that is all, means the combo bet is combo over and under or even both team score or not score, sometimes go to first half score more than second half because 1 or x or 2 has a lot of surprises in between. Most of match results are sold and they want to be risk free from betting or similar tricks.

In sports betting, a "push" occurs when the final result of a game lands exactly on the point spread or total set by the sportsbook. Here’s how it typically works:

  1. Point Spread Bets: If you bet on a team to cover a spread and the final score results in a tie against the spread, your bet is considered a push. For example, if the spread was -3 and the team wins by exactly 3 points, the bet is a push.
  2. Total (Over/Under) Bets: Similarly, if you bet on the total points scored and the final score equals the total set by the sportsbook, that bet is also a push. For example, if the total is set at 50 points, and the final score is 25-25, the total is a push.
  3. Bet Settlement: In the case of a push, all bets are refunded. This means that you will receive your original wager back, and it is as if the bet never took place.
  4. Parlays: If a push occurs in a parlay bet (a bet involving multiple selections), the parlay is adjusted. The push is removed from the parlay, and the remaining bets will determine the outcome.
In summary, a push results in a refund of your wager, and it does not count as a win or loss.

Bets are refunded.

This costs the casinos money, which is why you will notice most bet lines are created so that a push is impossible, via 1/2 point margins, or by “over” lines (which requires exceeding the target, hit the target perfectly and its a loss).

I’ve been using a system for a couple of years now that provides a nice little extra income. It depends what your aim is, if you want to guarantee instant high winning my system is not for you.

I always enjoyed little bets to make things more interesting but was never willing to invest real money because I couldn’t afford to lose it and one day I decided to see if I could routinely increase my balance on the bookies I use.

The system Ive been using goes like this:

I started with a £10 deposit

I pick 3 games (I’m a football fan so it’s always football for me but it’s probably best to stick to whatever sport you know) that are odds on (ie returns of less than 1:1) and make those games into an accumulator.

More often than not the accumulator odds come in at around 2.5/1

No matter what I have as a balance when I place the bet I put 10% of it on. So my first bet from a £10 balance was £1

Slowly but surely following this system my balance was increasing

I’m not going to lie it took a long time to get the balance to a meaningful number and I’ve been monitoring the results to see how it goes and my win rate is just under 50%. But this still brings an overall increase.
 
@perlcode you did not give any value to the thread. You just copy paste message from AI assistant and that is all. Even me or any member could ask AI assistant for a response. Or you just copy from a competitor site without even mention the site name. Such practices aren't allowed and could lead to PTP disabled for 1 week. Thanks for your understanding. However, you could add your opinion after reading an article this could be a tolerated practice rather than just ask AI assistant and copy answer or from external website.
