It means that if you take Texas A&M to win then you also get 4 points.

If AU wins 30-26 and you bet on A&M you still win.  If the score is 31-26 and took A&M then you lose.

You obviously have never met Uncle Saniflush.  It's win/win...he's a giver.

Most places do not recognize a push.  Even those that do you are still going to lose the Juice on the bet which is 10% of the bet.  Before Six asks because he is too lazy to google, the juice is the money that the bookie charges to actually lay the bet to begin with.  So if you bet $100 and win then you are actually only going to be paid $90.  Bookies want there to be as much equal interest in betting both sides as possible so the folks that win are essentially paid by the folks that lose and the bookies just make the juice.

What you normally are going to get is a half point off one way or the other when you actually place your bet.

hopefully, if you throw down a franklin and win you'll be making money not losing a hamilton and keeping 90 dollars in your pocket.  your circumstance would be correct if the game is a push, right?

Guess I should have been more specific.  Mileage will vary depending on WHERE you are betting.

If you are betting in a casino and you place a $100 bet and win then you will take your ticket back the cashier and be paid $190.  Your original $100 plus another $90 which is the payout minus the 10% juice.
If you lose the bet then the casino already has your $100 and calls it good.

If you are going the bookie route then you will also be paid $190 on the win.  Your original $100 plus the $90.  If you lose then you will usually owe the bookie the $100 plus the 10% juice for a total of $110.

Some of you fuckers need to get out and lose yourselves some scratch.

Never throw the dice when there's a guy on the other end of the table with a string of chicken feet around his neck and he's drawing out circles and strange symbols on the felt with his finger.  Unless you've got some way to cross-mojo him.

The Sicilian Ju-Ju finger and stink eye combo always beats chicken feet.

We had an honest to god "cooler" hit our craps table in Vegas back in October of '13 or so. 

The guy was head to toe windbreaker-style.  He was positioned between our table and another and was taking turns rotating between them.  Like clockwork, if our shooter started to hit a couple of points, windbreaker guy would turn to our table and drop $50 on the pass line and immediately lose it.  Then he'd turn to the other table for similar results.

After he did that twice (he was positioned immediately to my left, so I had a good view of his antics), I told the dealer closest to me to take my bets off when he dropped his chips on our table.  Shooter crapped out.  I mention this trend to my 3 buddies and they all follow suit on his next visit to our table.  Table craps out...our chips are scattered across the board, but are "off."

Dealer looked at me, winked and said that it might be a good time to take a break and grab some lunch.
