what happens if the spread is a tie in a parlay

If the spread results in a tie (also known as a push) in a parlay, that leg of the parlay is typically removed from the parlay. This means the parlay is adjusted as if that leg never existed. The remaining legs still stand, and the payout is recalculated based on the reduced number of legs. For example, a three-leg parlay with one leg pushing would become a two-leg parlay with a lower payout. The bettor’s original stake remains on the adjusted parlay, and if all remaining legs win, the bettor receives a payout according to the new odds. This does not result in an automatic loss or voiding of the entire parlay in most cases, except for some same-game parlays where different sportsbook rules might apply. In summary, a tie on the spread in a parlay leads to the affected leg being voided or removed, the parlay is recalculated with fewer legs, and the bettor’s stake is returned on the tied leg portion. The parlay can still win if the other legs are successful, but with a reduced payout.
