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
Blackjack brain lol, half push just feels JANKY on slips
