Asian spread push?

so i was sweating an nba game last night and i realized i’m not 100% clear on how pushes work with asian spreads, especially with basketball lines that aren’t whole numbers. i get it with the usual half points - obviously those can’t push - but with something like asian handicap -1.0/-1.5, does half your bet get refunded if it hits one and the other half loses? feels like a split outcome but i haven’t really checked the slip after one of these yet, i’m usually all-in or off the market. anyone see their slip refund part of the stake before? trying to tighten up my risk side before mlb season starts.

Yeah, that -1.0/-1.5 thing is just two bets mashed together, which is why people keep overcomplicating it. If your team wins by 1, the -1.0 half pushes and gets refunded, the -1.5 half loses. That’s it. On a $100 stake, expect $50 back, not some magic “close enough” save. I’ve seen the slip show it after bet confirmation as a split settlement, especially on crypto casinos where the balance updates in chunks and confuses people for NO reason. Same idea as quarter lines, just less exciting than boxcars on a dead table

Lol yeah, and bonus rollover math gets goofy on split settles. Seen half the stake pop back on the slip
