What is a Push?

Your wager ended in a tie. If you bet on a 7-point favorite and your team won the game by seven points, you’re getting your initial wager back. If you bet on the game going over 40 points and the final score was 23-17, you’re getting your initial wager back.

What Happens with a Push in a Parlay?

This caveat goes toward just about everything that we talk about in these betting tip articles: Be familiar with your sports book’s rules. The sports betting landscape in North America has exploded over the last five years, with several new operators entering the mix. Not all of them operate by the same guidelines and procedures. Make sure you’re familiar with the rules that your sports book operates with. Now, with that being said, if a push occurs on your parlay ticket, that game essentially gets removed from your ticket as if it was never there in the first place. So if you placed a five-team parlay and one of the games ends in a push, that game gets removed from the equation and you now have a four-team parlay. If you placed a two-team parlay and one of the games ends with a push, you now essentially have a single wager on the remaining game.

Are There Pushes in Soccer?

Soccer wagering is tricky, especially for novice bettors. Just because a match ends in a tie does not mean that your bet “pushes.” Soccer has two betting markets: The two-way line and the three-way line. The two-way line incorporates some form of goal spread into the equation. The three-way line introduces the possibility of a draw. If you place a wager in the three-way market, your choices are Team A wins, Team B wins, or the draw. There can’t be a push. The only two times that you’ll get a push in soccer are a) On the total. If the total is set at 3 goals and the game ends 2-1, that’s a push and you’re getting your money back; b) In the draw-no-bet market. When two teams are fairly evenly match, you likely won’t get a goal spread in the two-way market. Instead, you’ll get a PK or DNB option. If the game that you bet on ends in a draw, your wager will be refunded. Make sure you’re aware of the difference in prices between the traditional three-way moneyline and the draw-no-bet market.

Can you put your hands on the floor in a ruck?

Once a ruck has formed, no player may handle the ball unless they were able to get their hands on the ball before the ruck formed and stay on their feet. Law 15.15: Players on the ground must attempt to move away from the ball and must not play the ball in the ruck or as it emerges.

The purpose of a ruck is to allow players to compete for the ball which is on the ground. A ruck can take place only in the field of play. A ruck is formed when at least one player from each team are in contact, on their feet and over the ball which is on the ground. Players involved in all stages of the ruck must have their heads and shoulders no lower than their hips. The sections and sanctions associated with Law 15 that are explored this week are:

Law 15.4:

Each team has an offside line that runs parallel to the goal line through the hindmost point of any ruck participant. If that point is on or behind the goal line, the offside line for that team is the goal line.

Law 15.6:

A player may join alongside but not in front of the hindmost player.

SANCTION: Penalty

Law 15.11.:

Once a ruck has formed, no player may handle the ball unless they were able to get their hands on the ball before the ruck formed and stay on their feet.

SANCTION: Penalty

Law 15.15:

Players on the ground must attempt to move away from the ball and must not play the ball in the ruck or as it emerges.

SANCTION: Penalty

Law 15.17:

When the ball has been clearly won by a team at the ruck, and is available to be played, the referee calls “use it”, after which the ball must be played away from the ruck within five seconds.

SANCTION: Scrum to opposition team
