What is Draw No Bet?
Draw No Bet (DNB) is a popular market in football (soccer) and other two-outcome sports where the bettor’s stake is returned if the match ends in a draw. Essentially, you’re betting on one team to win; if the selected team wins, your bet wins. If the match ends in a draw, your stake is refunded. If the selected team loses, the bet is lost;
Key points
- Outcome options: Team A or Team B to win (no option for a draw).
- Draw = stake returned (push/refund).
- Generally lower odds than a straight match-winner market because of the safety of the refund.
How Draw No Bet Works — Example
Suppose you bet £10 on Team A with Draw No Bet at odds of 1.80:
- If Team A wins: you receive £10 × 1.80 = £18 (profit £8).
- If the match draws: your £10 stake is returned (no win, no loss).
- If Team A loses: you lose your £10 stake.
Why Use Draw No Bet?
- Reduced risk compared with a straight match-winner bet.
- Useful when you think a team is likely to win but expect the match could end level.
- Common in knockout or cup ties where avoiding a loss is desirable.
Differences from Asian Handicap
Draw No Bet is similar to a basic Asian Handicap (0 handicap) but is typically presented as a separate market. Asian Handicap markets can offer quarter-goal or half-goal lines that split stakes; DNB is simpler: win, lose, or refund on draw.
Settlements and Rules at Online Bookmakers
Most bookmakers settle Draw No Bet markets according to the match’s official result at full time (not including extra time unless the market explicitly states otherwise). Rules can vary slightly between operators, so always check the specific terms and conditions of the bookmaker before placing a bet.
Practical checklist before betting
- Confirm whether extra time counts for the market (usually it does not for regular league matches).
- Check if the market applies to in-play bets or only pre-match.
- Verify minimum and maximum stake limits and any promotional restrictions.
