Sports betting
Push
A tie between the bet and the line, where stakes are refunded.
A spread of -3 pushes if the favorite wins by exactly three; a total of 44 pushes on a 24-20 game. Books use half-points to avoid pushes, and some grade a push as a loss in parlays or teasers, which is worth checking in the rules.
Prediction markets usually define spreads and totals with half-points, or state explicitly how a tie resolves, often as "No" for the over or cover.
Read the resolution rule for ties before trading any sports contract.
