I bet with bookies in the upstate for a long time in the 80's and early 90's. On individual or straightline bets, bookies only got the juice on a push.
Betting question: What if a line is hit exactly?

then you got ripped off... but thats okay, its in the past
im not going to argue with you about it... its that stupid to pay juice on a push
Yeah, probably before you even put on your diapers.
Btw, we weren't getting ripped off if we knew what the rules were. This was way before on line betting.
you consistently are one of the biggest idiots on this board, i usually laugh and ignore your stupid remarks..good day fool
I'm amazed at the number of people that say they have a tie treated as either a losing bet, or bookie gets the juice. I haven't bet with a bookie in the last 10 years, but when I did, a push was a push. Nobody got anything either way - it was treated as a no bet. I occasionally bet online and it's treated the same way. Parlays are a little different. For instance if you bet a 5 on 5 on a parlay card put out by a local bookie and 4 teams cover and 1 ties, you lose. Online parlays treat your bet as a 5 on 4. The tie is excluded.
I'm also amazed.. its insane some of the people that either got pimped by their bookie because they didnt know better.. or was just crazy to know and still bet that way
This nut poster..Forkcock.. is that... a condescending, sarcastic fool for some of his childish attack post

What are the chances the guy who joined the board yesterday to ask for help finding a bookie is a SLED agent?
I’ve had numerous bookies over the years and know plenty of people who use different ones than me and none I have ever used and no one I know would ever pay juice on a push, much less consider a push a loser. If your guy is doing this, then find a new guy. Because you are getting screwed. If he is doing and he’s all you have then buy the half point For 10% juice. Of course if he takes your money on a push he probably wouldn’t allow it.
When I used to play. They kept the juice because they would get hammered on the High School lines. The power rankings is useless in high school football. They would have to set their on lines.

This guy gets it. A push is a push unless it is a parlay or teaser. That is the case with my book and always has been with different bookies throughout the years. Why would anyone pay up for a bet that neither won or lost? It is called a push for a reason...No Action.
i guess a few posters who pay juice for a push are just ignorance
A push is a push...no winner. Just had it happen again. Nothing gained and nothing lost. Also, hit a parlay with a push. Parlay cards are only parlay where a tie loses.
Would like to know likewise. I use to bet mostly with individuals back when I lived in Greenville in the early '70s. I neither won or loss anything to speak of overall.
But haven't bet on football in years. Many years ago I had a good idea of how Carolina would perform but I never bet against them even if I thought they would beat the spread. And for that matter I didn't bet that much on them. That was for a short period time that I had a good feeling whether Carolina would cover or not. It was when Carlin was the HC and his style of play was kind of predictable when it came to covering a spread or not.

Says the biggest tool on this board.
You’re really bullheaded. Not saying that bookies get the juice today on a push but many in GREENVILLE, SC did back in the 1980’s.
PUSH = As if that wager NEVER took place.
It is truly amazing the number of posters who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground yet, claim to be authorities. I won $12,604.34 on a 12 game, $10 parlay bet. Won
11 and had 1 push. (Exactly the same amount as if I had made an 11 game, $10 parlay bet) I guess they gave me the money by accident.
But, it's all cool. I took it anyway.
better.
AAaaaggggghhhhhhh!!!!!. It does not matter. Think it through.
Again, for the hundredth time, I'm not talking about 2018 Vegas or online gambling. I'm talking about the 1980's in Greenville, SC with a few real live bookies.
Agree, 1st...site would be better
2nd...Think, that would appear hard for a few.
3rd...I would've liked them as customers
You win. This is successful betting. I also like gambling, betting and even playing poker as only by playing such games you can get those emotions of euphoria. I can't say that I win so often, but I definitely win more than lose so thus I get some profit. I don't mean that you can enrich playing gambling, even though I know people who make a lot of money on betting and other gambling, but I mean you can play your favorite game without wasting money. I play only on aplikasi poker, as this is the site I trust the most. Of course, this is a subjective opinion and therefore I can't recommend you play on this site. What about you guys, what sites do you play on. Stay safe and have a wonderful day!

Yep — every bet I’ve made over the past 50 years that ended in a push was treated as a null and void bet — all of my money was returned — which I just rolled into another bet.
When a line is set at a whole number like -7, there's always a possibility of the game ending with a margin that exactly matches the spread. This means that neither the bettors nor the bookies win or lose money on that specific wager. The bets are usually refunded, and it's like the game never happened in terms of that particular bet.As for your interest in sports betting, it's great to see you exploring different avenues for fun and potential gains.

I use Bovada, and with them its a push. It's like the bet didn't happen. If you bet $10 on a game and it's a push, they give you the $10 back, no juice.
