Betting Guides > Football Betting – Draw No Bet

In this bet, a draw is not an option, which means that in the case of a draw, you can get your stake back. As a result, the odds of winning for each team are lower than in the football traditional 3-way betting. This is just similar to the Asian Handicap +0 bet on any given team.

A bet of this type “Draw = No bet” simply means that you place a bet on one team to win the match and if the game ends as a draw, you will get back the amount of the bet that you place. (You see? There is no bet).

It’s a simple bet as you can see. You can bet either Chelsea or West Ham to win the match, while protecting your stake if the match ends in a draw. With the possibility for a draw eliminated from the market, the odds of a DNB bet are lower than if you bet on either team in the 1X2 match result market.

Draw No Bet meaning

Draw No Bet removes the option of a draw from the bet and allows bettors to bet on either a home or away win.

If your selection is successful, your bet will win, and if the contest ends in a draw, your stake will be returned meaning you neither win nor lose. Your bet will be a loss if the team you backed is defeated.

By comparison, if you bet on the 3-way market instead of Draw No Bet and the match ends in a draw, you will lose your bet.

As a result of removing the option of a draw, odds on Draw No Bet markets will be lower than that on the 3-way market.
