I had Eagles +3. Eagles won the game outright. How is this a "push"?

Eagles +3 means they are giving up 3 points. Weird, I know. But what it's saying is you are not only betting the Eagles but also giving away 3 points. So the score was 27-30 Eagles so it's a push.

-3 means you're betting on that team but GIVING UP 3 points.

This week Dallas is favored over the Rams by a point so it's Dallas +1 or Rams -1.

See?

Dude...think you have that back asswards

Indy was the favorite, giving 3 points to the Eagles..making it Eagles +3, or Indy -3

Dallas is the favorite, giving 1 point to STL

I blew my explanation. I'll try again:

The team they expect to win has to give up points. So they would be minus. For example:

Denver is favored to win.

Denver -6
Browns +6

That means that if you bet on Denver, not only does Denver have to win, they have to win by 7 or more. If they win by 6 it's a push.

If you bet on the Browns, you will still win the bet if they lose by 5 or less. If they lose by 6, it's a push.

Since you are either giving up or taking points, this should be a 1-1 bet. You win $1 for every $1 you bet.

righto...but the Eagles were at +3 which meant they were GETTING 3 points...and they won out right...so the game wasnt a push
