What is draw no bet?
Draw no bet (DNB) is a bet on one team to win, where a draw gives you your stake back. If your team wins, you are paid at the DNB odds. If they lose, the bet loses. It is the same as Asian handicap 0.
Example
You bet 10 on Brentford draw no bet at odds of 1.90.
- Brentford win: you get 19 back (9 profit).
- Draw: you get your 10 back.
- Brentford lose: you lose 10.
DNB versus the 1X2 win
Because a draw is refunded, DNB odds are lower than the plain win. Without the bookmaker margin, the DNB price is linked to the 1X2 prices: fair DNB odds for the home team = 1 + P(away win) ÷ P(home win), where P are the fair probabilities. Use our implied probability calculator to get those from the 1X2 odds.
When it makes sense
- When you think a team is the better side but a draw is a real possibility.
- In tight matches between evenly matched teams.
- When you want less risk than the plain win and accept a lower price for it.
