Draw No Bet (DNB) Explained
Draw no bet backs a team to win with insurance against the draw — if the match is level, your stake is refunded. This guide covers exactly how it settles, worked examples, and how it differs from the 1×2 and double chance. Code VIP4YOU unlocks a 130% / $130 bonus.

Draw no bet (DNB) is a two-outcome market: you pick a team to win, and the draw is taken out of play. Win and you're paid; lose and the bet loses; draw and your stake comes back. It's the middle ground between the high-odds match winner and the low-odds double chance — a way to back a side while insuring against the most common "in-between" result.
How draw no bet settles
| Result | DNB on Team A |
|---|---|
| Team A wins | Win (paid at the odds) |
| Draw | Push — stake refunded |
| Team B wins | Lose |
Worked example
DNB on an away favourite in a tricky tie
Team A is 1.90 to win outright, but you rate the draw as a live risk. DNB on Team A might price around 1.45. Stake $20: a Team A win returns $29; a draw refunds your $20; only a Team B win loses. You sacrifice some odds for protection against the draw.
Draw no bet vs 1×2 vs double chance
| Market | On a win | On a draw | Odds level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match winner (1×2) | paid | loses | highest |
| Draw no bet | paid | stake refunded (push) | middle |
| Double chance (1X) | paid | paid (as a win) | lowest |
DNB on a team is effectively the same risk profile as Asian handicap 0.0.
When to use draw no bet
- Backing a favourite you're not fully sure of — insure against a frustrating draw.
- Cup ties and cagey fixtures where a stalemate is likely.
- Away wins in tight leagues — protect the stake if the home side holds on for a point.
- When double chance odds are too short — DNB pays more while still removing the draw-loss.

Draw no bet FAQ
Do I get my money back on a draw?
Yes — a draw is a push and your stake is refunded in full. You neither win nor lose.
Why are DNB odds lower than the match winner?
Because the draw is refunded rather than a loss, the bookmaker prices in that protection — so DNB pays less than backing the straight win.
Can I use DNB in accumulators?
Yes, but a drawn leg pushes and recalculates the acca on the remaining legs — which can drop it below the 3-leg minimum for bonus wagering.
