In sports betting, a push occurs when the result of a bet is a tie, also known as a "no action" bet. This means that neither the bettor nor the bookmaker wins or loses, and the bettors stake is returned.
In soccer and hockey, where games can end in ties, three-way lines are offered to avoid a push. A three-way line introduces the possibility of a draw, and the choices are Team A wins, Team B wins, or the draw. If a bettor places a wager in the three-way market, there cannot be a push.
In football, a 3-way no push refers to a bet that offers three choices: Team A to win, Team B to win, or the game to be a draw. If a bettor places a wager on a draw, then that's what they'll be rooting for. The potential payout for a draw in NFL preseason and regular season games is massive, but the odds of it actually happening are slim to none.
