A push in gambling is a tie, what's it's origin.
A gift to the mother after the baby is born
is called 'push gift', because the mother
pushed out the baby. Is it a push in gambling
because the dealer pushes the bet back?
But the dealer also pushes your winnings to
you. Why is it called a push in sports betting,
nobody pushes anything at anybody. This word
has irritated me since I heard it 35 years ago.

I'm a soccer fan only during World Cup, men and Women.
My favorite term from soccer when a score ties the game, is the 'the equalizer'.
Wish sports broadcasters would use it here, its a great term.

Push... from a dealer pushing your bet back to you but not paying it off?

Push....
Neither one can get past the other with a victory....they push (against each other); a stalemate.

We can reverse engineer the origin, the dealer
pushes your bet back, they push against each
other. There has to be an origin, however. It
had to come from somewhere.

This site: http://etymonline.com is god for questions like that but unfortunately it does not give the etymology of that usage of the word 'push'. It may not have common enough usage.

'push' shares its origin with 'felt' perhaps that is where it comes from. Since you don't get paid when there is a tie, there is only empty felt.

Understand you want the etymology. However, if you're a BJ trainer, decades ago, you say to a new dealer, 'When the bet ties, push the money out of the bet circle back to the player.' And then you nag the new dealer when it happens during monitored play. 'Push the bet back'. Soon shortened to 'Push'. Even though these days, it's a knock and the bet stays, when they trained me 30+ years ago, we physically pushed the bet back to the player.
So that's what I think happened.
I have a very funny but slightly obscene story about a similar training technique from ATC. One of these days I'll tell it. :)
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

It's also called a push in sports betting, and
there's no felt to push anything back on. I
think the origin is elsewhere.

Maybe it's because they push your original wager back to you

Win- The final winning requirement of a bet occurs, player receives > 100% of initial bet.
Loss- the final losing requirement of a bet occurs, bet is 100% lost.
Push/Tie- Bet sequence is complete without a win or loss occurring, original bet is returned to player. As mentioned a 12 on the don’t pass pushes and you may pick up your bet. I’d also consider any place bet to be a push on any number that isn’t a win or a 7 as you can pick up that bet.
Unresolved (“in play”?)- A bet that follows a sequence that potentially requires more than one roll to win or lose, with some potential intermediate events being neither a win nor loss but not a “push” as defined above. The difference between a push and an unresloved bet is that with a push the bet sequence is over and the player can pick up the bet, re-bet it or even increase it, with an unresolved contract bet once it’s made and the sequence is started it must stay until its resolved. Note: a player can end a don’t bet on any established point by accepting a push from the casino, the term here is “no action” although it’s not the same as the definition for “no action” above. Technically I’d say in that instance the bet is resolved in a push by the player requesting and the casino agreeing to the push (one possible sequence known about the contract before the bet is made) and the player starts a new contract bet if he chooses to leave it on the don’t come bar.
No Action- No bet was ever made. Usually occurs where a player tries to make a bet but the casino refuses to accept the bet. Most commonly occurs when a player tries to bet when dice are in the air or later, also possible because bet is not allowed (under table limit, over table limit, come bet on come-out roll etc., trying to bet fire bet after someone else did and shooter has made 1 point). Because no bet was made the original wager is returned as if nothing happened. Good dealers will clearly and loudly say “no action” ASAP to pre-exempt any argument about payouts.
Dice off the table would also be no action with respect to that “throw” of the dice, one of the requirements of a craps bet is both dice stay on the table and produce a number if this doesn’t happen the throw is a “non-throw”. You can see its no-action because after dice go off the table any bet that is not a contract bet in progress can be picked up. Also with short throws you may hear 'no roll' meaning despite the dice being thrown the the result does not count, usually do to a short roll.

Has anybody actually managed to 'sneak' a come bet through during come out? How do they deal with it-- move it to pass, move it to come, or would they actually refuse it, even if the bettor didn't have pass?

On the rare occasions I've seen this happen, the dealer/box just declared No Action.

A push is generally speaking, a live bet that ties the Dealer (as in Blackjack).
No action means the bet was not accepted by the House (as in a late bet at a Craps table).

That definition made a specific case come to mind-- is passing (as opposed to failing) a 1-for-1 a win or a push?
I'd be more specific and say that a push is a registered bet that is resolved without money (or currency equivalent) changing hands.
In something like VP, because you paid in advance, a 1-for-1 is a win, despite the end result being the same. A push would be... nonexistent, I guess? Similarly, you can win with a net less on anything that has a fractional payback.

I associate 'no action' with sports bets, where it means that the bet was called off - for example, a baseball game was rained out. It's usually more associated with the positive form; when you make a futures bet on who's going to win the next college football championship, the odds form says, 'All bets are action'; if, right after you make the bet, the NCAA announces that the team you bet on is ineligible for postseason play this year, the bet stands.
(There's also the term 'with action'; I think that refers to a bet on a baseball game where the bet stands even if the starting pitcher for your team isn't the one previously announced as starting.)

'no action'...where it means that the bet was called off


I agree. The terms 'No action' and 'No bet' seem pretty much interchangeable.

That's exactly right, because the pays are on a, 'For One,' basis. That's why a $0.01 denom slot machine with a Max Bet of $1.50 can, for example, say you won, '35 Credits,' when the end result is actually that you have $1.15 less than when you made the spin.

no action is called out in craps when there is money on the layout that isn't a bet. An example the dealer gives somebody 15 dollars change but the guy is hitting on the server or talking to his buddy and the $15 is just sitting there. Another example is a guy buys in during a roll but does not want any bets from the cash.

The difference here is splitting hairs. I’d call any bet where after the betting sequence is resolved and you have the same amount of money as you did at the start, and can pick up the bet, a push. It’s simply the marketing difference between bets paying “for” or “to”. VP paytables could easily be re-written with “to” payouts and the lowest payout would read “push” instead of 1-for-1. It also has to do with how your balance is displayed, in VP (and other electronic games) your bet is deducted from your balance when you bet and so a push increases your balance (back to your original), whereas in table games your bet is left on the felt until resolved, but the money isn’t any more yours than the money you can win if you get a winner in VP. If you’ve ever played an electronic version of craps and you bet your last $5 on the don’t your balance would show $0, if a 12 is rolled your balance would then show $5 as the push returns $5 to your stack. However in between time of placing the bet and the resolve that money is gone from your stack just like in VP. So I wouldn't consider a 1-to-1 win a 'win' I'd consider it a push.

This is not so much a partial win as it is a single small win not making up for many other losses you experience on a particular spin. If a player bets 30 lines x 5 credits a line their total bet is 150 but more accurately they have 30-5 credit wagers, if 29 wagers lose and 1 wager wins 45 credits then the players net result that roll is 150-45 = 105 credit loss. When added together it’s a partial win but when seen as separate bets its 1 win with 29 losses. This is the same as having multiple passline/come bets and a new come bet and a 7 coming. Even though the player lost (say) $250 and only won $25 on the last come bet the last come bet was still a “full win”, it’s only when combined with all the other bets that a new loss occurs.
