Draw No Bet Means What
The definition: draw no bet (DNB) is a betting market which removes the outcome of a draw on three-way markets, allowing bettors to bet on either a home or away win.
In other words, you have an insurance against last minutes goals and poor referee decisions against your team.
HNB (Home No Bet) This means that the HOME team should win or draw the match. If AWAY wins, you lost. It it's a draw your money will be returned. Draw No Bet markets remove one of those outcomes from the equation, to leave just the home win or the away win. If the game you are betting on finishes as a draw, then, as the name of the market implies, there is effectively no bet. Your stake will be refunded and you will be no worse off than when you started. Why not just bet on a straight win?
What is Draw no Bet Draw no bet is a new and popular market in leading betting companies. Basically, this technique involves removing the draw option in the game to remain with the home win or away win. If you bet home win, and the home team wins, you win the bet. In a betting market, the Draw No Bet option simply eliminates the outcome of a draw on three-way markets, meaning bettors are left to bet on either a home or away win. This market is also known as Handicap (0), which you can find on the Marathonbet site under the Handicap Markets tab in a football match.
Usually this kind of bets use in football markets where are three-way odds. You can’t find this picks in tennis or basketball, because there are just 2 results: win for 1st or 2nd team.
An Example of draw no bet market in bet 365
Football, English Premier League. Wolverhampton v Newcastle
It’s usual market with 3-way odds and picks on correct score. But a little lower you can see draw no bet odds:
There 3-way market becomes into 2-way market.
If you bet on draw no bet market (for example, we place a bet on Newcastle with odds 3.40 and stake $100) there are just 3 possible results:
- Wolverhampton won. We lost our bet and our result is -$100
- The Draw. We have refund for our pick and our profit is $0.
- Newcastle won. We win our bet and have profit = $100*3.4=$340-$100=$240.
So, you can bet on “draw no bet” market when you pick underdogs and you are too afraid for betting on odds 4.00 and more (with this type of odds you are getting reinsured and have refund your bet where a match finishes with draw).
It was an explanation for single bets, but there are many bettors who love accumulator bets and “draw no bet” can be included in accumulators too.

How draw no bet works in accumulator
If you pick DNB in accumulator, they calculated as a “usual” bets, even if there are just 1 DNB pick of 3 bets or more.
For example: we have an accumulator with 3 picks and stake $10:
- Arsenal – Southampton 1-x-2 odds – (1.45 – 4.8 – 7.18) and pick Arsenal with odds @1.45
- West Ham – Fulham and asian handicap for Fulham (+1) @1.53
- Our draw no bet pick. Manchester Utd – Liverpool. Pick: Liverpool DNB with odds 1.79
If our 1, 2, or 3rd bet lose, we will lose all our accumulator and $10
What Does Draw No Bet Means In Football
What draw no beat mean in accumulator?
But if we have a return for our 3rd bet (DNB) this bet in our accumulator will be estimated with odds = 1.00 and result: 1.45 * 1.53 * 1=2.22 – the final odds and our profit is 2.22*$10=$22.2 minus our bet $10 = $12.2.
So, you can make your accumulators with draw no bet picks and they will be calculated as a “usual” picks with the same rules, but there can be 1 more way – return for your bet with odds =1 but all other picks in accumulator will be working.
