Push Meaning Gambling
Posted By admin On 31/07/22- Most often, a push occurs when the final score of a matchup has the same differential as the listed point spread, or the aggregate score equals the listed over/under line.
- A spread of +7 means the team must win the game or lose by fewer than seven points to win the bet. A loss by seven would result in a push. What does -3 and +3 mean in NFL betting? A -3 spread means that the favorite must win by more than a field goal to win the wager. A three-point win would result in a push and the sportsbook would refund the.
- If the hand of you and your dealer is the same, then this condition is known as a push. It is a condition of a tie, which mean no one either win or lose. It is necessary to determine the wagering requirements before you take any amount.
Push: In poker and other competitive gambling games, to push means to go all in. Shark: A card shark is an expert card player whose skills enable him to take advantage of weaker players. Sharp: In sports gambling, the term “sharp” is used to refer to intelligent and astute bettors.
Win- The final winning requirement of a bet occurs, player receives > 100% of initial bet.
Loss- the final losing requirement of a bet occurs, bet is 100% lost.
Push/Tie- Bet sequence is complete without a win or loss occurring, original bet is returned to player. As mentioned a 12 on the don’t pass pushes and you may pick up your bet. I’d also consider any place bet to be a push on any number that isn’t a win or a 7 as you can pick up that bet.
Unresolved (“in play”?)- A bet that follows a sequence that potentially requires more than one roll to win or lose, with some potential intermediate events being neither a win nor loss but not a “push” as defined above. The difference between a push and an unresloved bet is that with a push the bet sequence is over and the player can pick up the bet, re-bet it or even increase it, with an unresolved contract bet once it’s made and the sequence is started it must stay until its resolved. Note: a player can end a don’t bet on any established point by accepting a push from the casino, the term here is “no action” although it’s not the same as the definition for “no action” above. Technically I’d say in that instance the bet is resolved in a push by the player requesting and the casino agreeing to the push (one possible sequence known about the contract before the bet is made) and the player starts a new contract bet if he chooses to leave it on the don’t come bar.
No Action- No bet was ever made. Usually occurs where a player tries to make a bet but the casino refuses to accept the bet. Most commonly occurs when a player tries to bet when dice are in the air or later, also possible because bet is not allowed (under table limit, over table limit, come bet on come-out roll etc., trying to bet fire bet after someone else did and shooter has made 1 point). Because no bet was made the original wager is returned as if nothing happened. Good dealers will clearly and loudly say “no action” ASAP to pre-exempt any argument about payouts.
Dice off the table would also be no action with respect to that “throw” of the dice, one of the requirements of a craps bet is both dice stay on the table and produce a number if this doesn’t happen the throw is a “non-throw”. You can see its no-action because after dice go off the table any bet that is not a contract bet in progress can be picked up. Also with short throws you may hear 'no roll' meaning despite the dice being thrown the the result does not count, usually do to a short roll.

Has anybody actually managed to 'sneak' a come bet through during come out? How do they deal with it-- move it to pass, move it to come, or would they actually refuse it, even if the bettor didn't have pass?

On the rare occasions I've seen this happen, the dealer/box just declared No Action.
No action means the bet was not accepted by the House (as in a late bet at a Craps table).
A push is generally speaking, a live bet that ties the Dealer (as in Blackjack).
That definition made a specific case come to mind-- is passing (as opposed to failing) a 1-for-1 a win or a push?
I'd be more specific and say that a push is a registered bet that is resolved without money (or currency equivalent) changing hands.
In something like VP, because you paid in advance, a 1-for-1 is a win, despite the end result being the same. A push would be... nonexistent, I guess? Similarly, you can win with a net less on anything that has a fractional payback.
(There's also the term 'with action'; I think that refers to a bet on a baseball game where the bet stands even if the starting pitcher for your team isn't the one previously announced as starting.)
'no action'...where it means that the bet was called off
I agree. The terms 'No action' and 'No bet' seem pretty much interchangeable.
In something like VP, because you paid in advance, a 1-for-1 is a win, despite the end result being the same. A push would be... nonexistent, I guess? Similarly, you can win with a net less on anything that has a fractional payback.
That's exactly right, because the pays are on a, 'For One,' basis. That's why a $0.01 denom slot machine with a Max Bet of $1.50 can, for example, say you won, '35 Credits,' when the end result is actually that you have $1.15 less than when you made the spin.

The difference here is splitting hairs. I’d call any bet where after the betting sequence is resolved and you have the same amount of money as you did at the start, and can pick up the bet, a push. It’s simply the marketing difference between bets paying “for” or “to”. VP paytables could easily be re-written with “to” payouts and the lowest payout would read “push” instead of 1-for-1. It also has to do with how your balance is displayed, in VP (and other electronic games) your bet is deducted from your balance when you bet and so a push increases your balance (back to your original), whereas in table games your bet is left on the felt until resolved, but the money isn’t any more yours than the money you can win if you get a winner in VP. If you’ve ever played an electronic version of craps and you bet your last $5 on the don’t your balance would show $0, if a 12 is rolled your balance would then show $5 as the push returns $5 to your stack. However in between time of placing the bet and the resolve that money is gone from your stack just like in VP. So I wouldn't consider a 1-to-1 win a 'win' I'd consider it a push.

This is not so much a partial win as it is a single small win not making up for many other losses you experience on a particular spin. If a player bets 30 lines x 5 credits a line their total bet is 150 but more accurately they have 30-5 credit wagers, if 29 wagers lose and 1 wager wins 45 credits then the players net result that roll is 150-45 = 105 credit loss. When added together it’s a partial win but when seen as separate bets its 1 win with 29 losses. This is the same as having multiple passline/come bets and a new come bet and a 7 coming. Even though the player lost (say) $250 and only won $25 on the last come bet the last come bet was still a “full win”, it’s only when combined with all the other bets that a new loss occurs.
If you believe in the saying “time is money” then watching a three-hour football game only to get your money back is one of the most frustrating things to do. However, depending on how that result came to be, a push could be a positive result if your team pulled off the back-door cover.
What Does Push Mean?
When you hear someone use the term “push” they are referring to the result of game or event that ends right on the listed point spread or finishes in a draw. Pushes are the most common in sports that use the point spread like basketball and football. However, a push can also happen when betting on certain run lines in baseball or spreads in soccer.
How Does a Push Work?
A push isn’t the worse thing in the world since you get your money back if your game happens to land right on the listed point spread. The most frustrating thing about a push is the time spending watching the game only to break even. Fortunately for bettors, sportsbooks don’t penalise you for making a bet that “pushes”, so you do receive all of your wager back.
Let’s use an NCAA basketball game as the first example. If your looking over the card and decide to bet the Baylor Bears -2 over the Oklahoma Sooners, this means that in order for you to cash your ticket, the Bears would need to win by three or more points. A 52-49 win would be just as good as a 90-87 win. If the Bears won by a mere two points (90-88, 52-50, etc.), your bet would be a push and you would receive your money back. If you like the underdog Sooners, a two-point loss would result in a push as well.
Push Gambling Term
The second example comes in the form of a parlay. Obviously if you bet more than one game with a listed spread as a whole number, the chances of more than one game pushing are high. This is where you need to be careful and do your due diligence to understand how sportsbooks treat “pushes” on a parlay.
Some books simple reduces the number of teams in a parlay when there is a push – say you have a four-team parlay and one game pushes, your parlay simply becomes a three-team parlay that’s still in play. Other sportsbooks will treat that entire parlay as a loss.
Knowing how sportsbooks operate and understanding their unique set of rules is crucial to avoiding costly and unexpected losses.

How to Avoid a Push
Push Meaning Gambling Rules
One way to avoid the possibility of a push is to bet lines with a hook. A hook is the extra half point sportsbooks add to ensure there is a winner and a loser on both sides (also to attract balanced action). Another way to avoid a “push” is to move the line buy buying a half point up or down depending on which side you are backing. In football, moving a line from -3 to -2.5 has the ability to win you more money over time should the favorite actually win the game. The best times to move the line in football to avoid the push is when the point spread is -3, -4 or -7. These are the three most common margins of victory so getting a half point either way will turn your pushes into potential wins.
