If you bet moneyline and the game ends in a tie, generally the bet is graded as a push. This means that your original wager is refunded, and you neither win nor lose money. Essentially, the bet is treated as if it didn't happen, and you get your stake back. This applies to typical two-way moneyline bets where the tie is not considered a win or loss outcome. However, in some sportsbooks or in situations where a three-way moneyline is offered (allowing a bet explicitly on a tie as a third possible outcome), the tie can be a distinct bettable result. In those cases, if the game ties, only the bets on the tie win, while bets on either team to win lose. In summary:
- Two-way moneyline bet + tie outcome = push, stake refunded.
- Three-way moneyline bet with a tie option = bets on tie win; others lose.
This rule is common for NFL and other sports moneyline betting situations where ties can occur.
