When are all bets on a match are settled as a push?

If a match is cancelled, rescheduled, interrupted or discovered to be fixed.

Match cancelled

If an event is cancelled, all bets on it are settled as a push.

Cancelling a match is a radical decision that is rarely made. Most often, matches are postponed instead of cancelled, and the tournament calendar is revised. Matches can be cancelled due to a participant's failure to arrive or health concerns regarding the spread of a virus. For example, in the 2019/20 season, the French championship was stopped after 28 rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the remaining matches were cancelled. PSG was named the champion because at the time they were in the lead in the standings.

Match rescheduled

If an event is rescheduled by three or more days, all bets on it are settled as pushes. The decision to postpone a match is made based on the results of a meeting of observers, referees and participant representatives.

Organisers will postpone a match if it is impossible or dangerous to play. Everything depends on the type of sport. For example, in football, a match may be postponed in the event of snow or heavy rain. The likelihood of postponing a match in bad weather depends on the stadium's technical equipment. Modern arenas have a heated field and good drainage systems so matches can be held even in pouring rain without significantly compromising the game. Some stadiums, such as Gazprom Arena, also have retractable roofs that block the field from rain and snow, so matches at stadiums like these are less often rescheduled.

Since 2020, most matches are postponed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. If signs of illness are detected, organisers quarantine the infected players, and in some cases, even the entire team. In this case, organisers reschedule the game to a later date, and bets are pushed.

Match interrupted

Bets on interrupted matches are settled as a push. Each sport has a limit at which a match is considered interrupted:

Football — less than 65 minutes played. In non-standard format tournaments, a

match is

considered interrupted if

less than 70% of

the time is

played.
Hockey — less than 45 minutes are played.
Basketball — less than 35 minutes played if

the

match lasts 48 minutes; less than 28 minutes played if

the

match lasts 40 minutes.
Bandy — less than 60 minutes are played.
American Football — less than 50 minutes are

played.
Baseball — less than 5 innings are

played.
3x3 basketball — less than 70% of

time is

played or

both teams score less than 16 points.
Other sports — less than 70% of time is

played.

If at the time a match is stopped it

draw, but the

rules of

the

sport do

not

provide for

draw, then the

match is

also considered interrupted, regardless of

the

amount of

time played.

If a bet has already been settled when the match was stopped, it will not be

a push

Matches are interrupted if the organisers believe conditions are dangerous. For example, if fans light pyrotechnics, throw things at players, or run out onto the field, then organisers ask the participants off the field and stop the match. If the fans calm down, the match continues, and if not, it is interrupted.
