What Is A Push Bet
Find the odds of winning your sports bet parlay with the free parlay calculator (with push) below.
How to Use the Parlay Calculator
A push in sports betting occurs when the point spread or point total hits the exact number in which you bet. For example, you can bet the Dallas Cowboys as a -7 point favorite to beat the Green Bay Packers or the Packers as a +7 point underdog. If the Cowboys win by seven points, both bets are a push and money is refunded (you get your money back). Quite simply, a push is what happens to your bet when the event you wager on results in a tie. As bettors or competitors, we build up wins and dread losses. We’re all familiar with creeds such as “the thrill of victory and agony of defeat.” You’ve probably heard that “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”. A “push” or tie, means that your bet will not cause your parlay to be graded as a loss. Instead that leg of the parlay will basically be ignored when calculating the payout of your parlay. A bet could push if you bet on a point spread or total that hit exactly. Oct 11, 2014 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.
Enter your wager amount and odds (yellow fields) for each leg of the parlay and you will see your potential profit, equivalent American and Decimal odds, as well as the implied win probability of your parlay bet.
For a single bet, enter odds in American format. A minus sign (-) indicates a favorite while a plus sign (+) indicates an underdog.
Moneyline odds are the most common bets in a parlay, however you can select any type of bet. A money line bet is a wager on which team you think will win. Therefore money line bets are the most straight forward and easiest to interpret, especially when there are multiple in a parlay.

You can also check the Push boxes if your bet has pushed. Checking this box will adjust the parlay odds to account for the fact that you have pushed a given bet.
A “push” or tie, means that your bet will not cause your parlay to be graded as a loss. Instead that leg of the parlay will basically be ignored when calculating the payout of your parlay.
A bet could push if you bet on a point spread or total that hit exactly. For example, if the New York Knicks were +8 against the Los Angeles Lakers and lost by exactly 8 points, that would be a push.
