How Do Pushes (Ties) Affect Payouts in Dabble Betting?
When betting on Dabble, certain scenarios, like a 'push' (tie), can impact the payout calculation. This guide explains what a push means, how it is treated, and its effect on different types of bets.
What Is a Push?
A push occurs when a player's final game statistic equals the projection in your bet. For example, if you bet on a player scoring 'over 2 goals' and they score exactly 2 goals, the result is a push. In this case, a push is graded as neither a win nor a loss, but it affects the calculation of payouts.
How Pushes Affect All-In Entries
In an All-In entry, a push reduces the lineup to one fewer selection, recalculating the payout scale relative to the remaining active legs. For example:
A 5-pick All-In entry reduced by 1 push will follow the 4-pick All-In payout.
For a 2-pick All-In entry: - 1 win and 1 push = 1.5× payout multiplier. - 1 loss and 1 push = No payout; the entry is considered a loss. (Note - A push is not a refund!)
How Pushes Affect Hedge Bets
For hedge bets, pushes also reduce the total number of legs. The payout is recalculated based on the new number of active selections. Here’s an example:
A 5-leg Hedge bet with 1 push is treated as a 4-leg bet. If fewer than 3/4 remaining legs are correct, no payout is granted.
Maximum multipliers still apply (e.g., 4/4 in the adjusted bet may yield a 5× payout).
Pushes vs. Voids and Refunds
Pushes differ from voids or refunds in that the player participated in the game, and the result fell directly on its projection. Therefore, the entry is adjusted, not refunded. However, all legs pushing may qualify for a refund under certain conditions.
Examples of Push Scenarios
Winning Despite Pushes: - Example: In a 6-pick All-In entry with 5 correct and 1 push, payout follows the 5-pick scale.
Losing With Pushes: - Example: A 2-pick All-In with 1 loss and 1 push results in a loss.
Entirely Pushed Entries: - Example: If all legs of an entry are pushes, it may qualify for a refund.
FAQs About Pushes
Why Did My Payout Decrease After a Push?
A push reduces your payout multiplier since one or more bets are removed from the calculation. For example, a 5-pick entry with 1 push is recalculated using the 4-pick payout scale.
If a Push Happens in the Heat Check Promo, What Changes?
The promo payout is recalculated as if one fewer leg was entered. For 3-pick entries, the adjustment moves to a 2-pick calculation.
Understanding how pushes affect your Dabble entries ensures you can manage expectations and make more informed betting choices. If you believe a push was incorrectly applied to your entry, please refer to the General Game Rules or contact support for assistance.
