What Does Draw No Bet Mean? 

Draw No Bet is a betting market that removes the possibility of a draw, allowing bettors to bet on either team to win. If the match ends in a draw the stake is refunded.  

What Is Draw No Bet? 

Draw No Bet is a popular market in football betting that eliminates the draw as a possible losing outcome. Bettors are given the opportunity to back one team to win, instead of choosing between a home win, draw or away win. If the selected team wins the match, the bet is successful. If the match ends in a draw, the original stake is refunded, meaning the bettor didn’t win or lose. This market is ideal for bettors who want protection against draws while backing the team they believe is likely to win. Draw No Bet offers a lower-risk option compared to 1X2 betting.  

How Does Draw No Bet Work? 

Draw No Bet removes the outcome of a draw. Here’s how it works: 

1. Choose a match: Select the draw no bet market.  

2. Back either the home or away team to win: This market eliminates the outcome of a possible draw.  

3. The bet is settled: After the regular 90 minutes, based on the result:  

• The selected team wins: the bet is successful and the user gets winnings.  

• The match ends in a draw: the original stake is refunded in full.  

• The selected team loses: the bet is unsuccessful and stake is lost.  

This is the ideal market for bettors who are confident a team can win but also need extra protection from a possible draw.  

Draw No Bet Example 

Team A is playing Team B, and you place a bet on Draw No Bet wager on Team A.  

• Team A wins 2-0: the bet wins because the selected team won the match.  

• Match ends in a draw: the bet is not lost, and the original stake is refunded to the bettor.  

• Team A loses 2-0 Team B: the bet loses because the selected team failed to win and the stake is not refunded.  

Draw No Bet vs 1X2 Betting 

Draw No Bet eliminates the draw by refunding the bettor’s stake if the match ends in a draw, reducing risk and offering lower odds. 1X2 bet on the other hand involves choosing one of three outcomes: home win (1), a draw (X), or away win (2).  

With draw no bet, users can only choose home or away win team to win. If the selected team wins, the bet wins. If the match ends in a draw, the original stake s refunded and if the chosen team loses, the bet is unsuccessful.  

Draw No Bet vs Double Chance 

Draw No Bet and Double Chance are both risk-reduction strategies that eliminate one of the three standard match outcomes, but they work differently.  

Draw No Bet means the bettor is backing one team to win. If the chosen team wins, the bet is successful. If the match ends in a draw, the stake is refunded. If the selected team loses, the bet is unsuccessful.  

Double Chance focuses on two of the three possible outcomes in a match. For example, users can back home win or draw, away win or draw, or home win or away win. This gives bettors a greater chance of winning, although the odds are usually lower.  

When Is Draw No Bet Used 

Draw No Bet is usually applied in matches where the outcome is expected to be close, making a draw a realistic possibility. This market allows bettors to back one team while eliminating the possibility of a draw. If the match ends in a draw, the original stake is refunded rather than lost. This market can also offer added value where in evenly matched fixtures. 

Another common use of draw no bet is when a bettor is confident a team will win but still wants a level of protection against the possibility of a draw. Instead of opting for the traditional 1X2 bet, draw no bet provides the option for bettors who have confident one team will win but want protection against the possibility of the match ending in a draw.
