In sports betting, a pick ’em is any two-way contest where both teams have roughly equal odds to win the game.
There is no point spread to consider in such a game – bettors must merely pick which team (or player) they think will win. Hence, a pick or pick ’em.
Teams and players priced as a pick may often be represented as pk. So, if the Texans are playing the Jaguars, and the football odds price the game as a pick ’em, a Texans bettor might represent his bet as Texans pk.
Can You Push on a Pick ’Em Bet?
Technically, bettors can push on a pick ’em bet if it’s a two-way bet that ends in a tie. So pushes are possible, but only if the bet is a pick ’em in a sport that ends in a tie.
Pick ’em bets in college football and college basketball, for example, could never end in a push. However, two-way NFL bets could.
