If you bet a standard moneyline and the game ends in a tie, your bet is usually graded as a push , which means it is canceled and your stake is refunded.

Basic idea

  • A regular moneyline is a bet on one team to win outright.
  • If nobody “wins” because the game ends in a tie, there is no winning side.
  • Most sportsbooks treat that as a push and give you your original wager back, with no profit and no loss.

When it works differently

Some books and markets are set up so a tie is its own outcome:

  • Three-way moneyline (1X2) : You can bet Team A, Team B, or Tie.
    • If you bet Team A or Team B and it ends in a tie, you lose.
    • If you bet the Tie specifically and it ties, you win.
  • “Including tie” options (like some FanDuel markets) : If you pick a side in a market that explicitly says it includes the tie as a graded result (rather than voiding), a tie can cause your bet to lose instead of push.

Because of these variations, the safest move is always to:

  1. Check the market name (e.g., “3-way moneyline,” “moneyline including tie,” etc.).
  1. Read your sportsbook’s house rules for ties and pushes before betting.

TL;DR:
For a normal two-way moneyline, a tie almost always means a push and you get your money back. Special markets like three-way moneylines or “including tie” bets can turn that same tie into a loss unless you bet on the tie itself.
