What is the meaning of draw no bet
Modern online betting offers Nigerian bettors a wide range of sports match outcomes. Today, it goes beyond simply betting on a win or the exact score. Extensive betting markets allow you to find the optimal outcome. One such option is the Draw No Bet wager.
What is a Draw No Bet wager?
The Draw No Bet (DNB) wager is a type of bet on a team to win. If the match ends in a draw, the stake is returned to the player. When you place a standard bet on Team X or Y to win and the match ends in a draw, you lose your bet. With DNB, that does not happen.
The betting mechanism works as follows:
you place a bet on Team X to win;
if Team X wins, you receive the bet amount multiplied by the winning odds;
if Team Y wins, the bet is lost;
if the match ends in a draw, the bet amount is returned to your account.
This way, you don't win the bet, but you don't lose money either.
Next, such options as home DNB or away DNB might appear. Home draw no bet means you back the home team to win, while a draw returns your stake. For the away draw no bet, either the away side wins for the bet to pay out, or a draw leads to a refund. Remember that in case the team you’ve backed loses, you still lose the bet.
How to place a DNB bet
Not all betting platforms and markets offer this type of bet. Therefore, be sure to check whether your bookmaker offers this bet for the specific match.
To place a bet:
Register or log in to your account;
Make a deposit;
Navigate to the betting markets for your chosen match
Locate the draw no bet option (it may be labeled as Handicap 0 or Zero Handicap);
Select the team you are betting on to win with a zero handicap;
Click on the odds for that outcome and fill out the betting slip.
The results of the Draw No Bet wager will be determined after the game concludes.
DNB betting odds
An increasing number of bettors from Nigeria are turning to the DNB option. While the odds are not as high as those for other types of bets, the built-in insurance against draws appeals to them.
The odds for such a bet may be lower than those for standard win or draw bets. This is because one of the outcomes (the draw) is eliminated from the possibilities. If you win, your payout won't be very high, but you'll be protected against losing in the event of a draw.
With most bookmakers, refunds can be used to place new bets without restrictions or additional wagering requirements.
Best sports for DNB betting
Draw No Bet examples may appear in betting markets for any sport where a draw is a possible outcome. DNB is most commonly found in football matches, but such sports as handball and cricket also feature this market sometimes.
Look for the bet within the full list of available markets. Bookmakers typically display standard outcome options first. You might need to dig deeper into the betting lines looking for a draw no bet option.
In what cases is it better to bet on DNB
The situation with a draw making bettors on either team lose their stakes is common in football. And this sport is one of the most popular and in-demand for betting. To avoid such situations, Draw No Bet in betting markets exists.
When it is best to use DNB:
the teams are of roughly equal skill level and the players have similar experience;
one team is superior, but a win is not crucial for them;
the tournament standings do not require a win in the match.
Overall, consider the situations where the draw is likely, but the odds for it don’t suit you as much as DNB.
