Draw No Bet (DNB) in Football

Understanding Draw No Bet in Football: A Complete Beginner’s Guide

What is Draw No Bet in Football Betting?

Draw No Bet is a popular football betting market that gives you extra security when you place a wager on a team to win. In this market, you bet on either Team A or Team B to win the match. If the team you choose wins, your bet is successful and you get paid. If the match ends in a draw, your stake is returned to you. In other words, you don’t win, but you also don’t lose your money. If your chosen team loses, your bet is lost.

This type of bet removes the risk of losing your stake if the match ends in a draw, which is a common result in football. That’s why many beginners and even experienced bettors use the Draw No Bet market to manage risk.

 

How Does Draw No Bet Work?

Let’s break down how this bet works with a simple example:

Example:

– FK Kosice vs. KFC Komarno
– You bet  N100 on FK Kosice (Draw No Bet) at odds of 1.21.

Possible Outcomes:

– FK Kosice wins: You win the bet and receive N121 (your N100 stake x 1.21).
– The match ends in a draw: Your N100 stake is returned to you.
– KFC Komarno wins: You lose your N100 stake.

As you can see, the draw result is removed from the equation. Your bet is only at risk if your team loses.

Why Choose Draw No Bet?

Lower Risk
Draw No Bet is less risky than a standard “Match Result” or “1X2” bet, where you have to pick either a home win, draw, or away win. In a 1X2 bet, if you back a team and the match ends in a draw, you lose your stake. With Draw No Bet, you get your money back if it’s a draw.

Good for Close Matches
This market is especially useful when two teams are evenly matched, and you’re worried the game might end in a draw. It allows you to back your preferred team with less risk.

Confidence in a Team, but Not 100%
If you believe a team is slightly more likely to win but are not fully confident, Draw No Bet lets you support them with a safety net.

How Are Draw No Bet Odds Calculated?

Draw No Bet odds are usually lower than the regular Match Result odds. This is because the bookmaker is removing the “draw” option and giving you extra protection.

Example:

– Team A to win (1X2): 1.85
– Draw: 3.20
– Team B to win (1X2): 1.95

For Draw No Bet, the odds might look like this:

– Team A (Draw No Bet): 1.21
– Team B (Draw No Bet): 1.40

The reduction in odds reflects the lower risk. You are paying for the insurance of getting your stake back if the match ends in a draw.

Tips for Using Draw No Bet Effectively

1. Compare Odds
Different bookmakers offer different odds. Compare several sites to find the best value for your bet.

2. Use for Accumulators
You can include Draw No Bet selections in accumulator bets (multiple bets combined). This can make your accumulator safer, as draws won’t ruin your whole bet.

3. Watch Team News
Check for injuries, suspensions, or lineup changes before you bet. These can affect the likelihood of a draw.

4. Study Head-to-Head Records
Some teams often draw when playing each other. Look at past results to help inform your bet.

5. Don’t Chase Losses
Draw No Bet reduces risk, but it doesn’t guarantee profit. Always stick to your betting budget.

 

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Confusing Draw No Bet with Double Chance
Remember, Double Chance covers two outcomes, while Draw No Bet only refunds your stake if it’s a draw.

2. Ignoring the Odds
Draw No Bet odds are lower than standard win odds. Make sure the risk reduction is worth the lower payout.

3. Not Checking the Rules
Some bookmakers have different rules for Draw No Bet, especially in cup matches or knockout competitions. Always read the terms.

4. Betting Without Research
Don’t just pick your favorite team. Look at form, injuries, and statistics before placing your bet.
