Void Bet and Push

Also called: No action, Dead heat

A void bet is one that no longer stands, so the stake is returned with no profit or loss — typically when a match is abandoned, a market's conditions can no longer be met, or a bet was accepted in error.

A push is the specific case where a total lands exactly on a whole-number line, so an over/under bet cannot be settled either way and the stake goes back. In an accumulator, a void leg is normally treated as odds of 1.00, so the rest of the bet stands and the combined price simply shrinks.

Note: this is why lines are usually set at a half unit — a half-goal or half-point line cannot be landed on exactly.
