A push occurs when your bet neither wins nor loses, resulting in your stake being refunded. It’s like a tie between the bettor and sportsbook.
For example, you bet on an NFL game total of exactly 48 points at FanDuel. The game ends exactly 28-20 (48 points total). Your bet is a push—you don’t win or lose money, your stake is simply returned to your betting account.
A push isn’t bad news—it just means you break even, ready to bet again next time.
