Push

When the result lands exactly on the spread or total, and the bet is refunded.

Like a tie in a contest where everyone gets their entry fee back.

Why it matters

Pushes mean no winner or loser - you get your money back.

How DMP uses this

Half-point lines (like -5.5) eliminate push possibilities.

Common mistake

Forgetting that whole number spreads can push. Account for it in analysis.
