Draw No Bet Explained
Back a team to win with the draw removed. If the match ends level your stake is returned in full.
How this market works
Draw No Bet removes one outcome from the equation. You pick a side; if they win you are paid at the DNB price, if they lose you lose the stake, and if the match is drawn you get your money back.
It sits between 1X2 and double chance in both safety and price. DNB is at its most useful in leagues with high draw rates, in first legs of two-legged ties, and in any fixture where you are confident a team will not lose but unsure they can break the opposition down.
Draw no bet settlement
- Home DNB at 1.55 with a $10 stake.
- Home win: returns $15.50.
- Draw: $10 stake refunded, no profit, no loss.
- Away win: stake lost.
Best used for
- Low-scoring, defensive leagues
- Cup first legs
- Backing a favourite you are not fully confident in
Watch out
A refunded stake is not a win. Repeatedly landing draws ties up your bankroll without growing it.
