What is Draw No Bet?

Draw No Bet (DNB) is a betting market that removes the draw outcome from the 1X2 equation. If your selected team wins, you win. If the match ends in a draw, your stake is refunded. You only lose if your team loses.

When to use Draw No Bet

DNB is popular for matches where you fancy a team to win but want insurance against a draw. It's especially useful in knockout competitions or when backing an underdog.

DNB vs Double Chance

Double Chance (1X, X2, 12) covers two outcomes but at lower odds. DNB only covers one team but refunds the draw — often offering better value when the draw probability is low.
