In field hockey sports betting, the “(0)” market is known as the “Draw No Bet (DNB)” option.
What Does (0) Mean in Field Hockey Betting?
- A (0) handicap means no handicap is applied.
- You are backing a team to win, but:
- If the match ends in a draw, your stake is refunded.
- If your team wins, you win the bet.
- If your team loses, you lose the bet.
This bet removes the risk of a draw, offering a safer alternative to a straight win bet.
Example:
Match: Germany vs. Argentina
Bet Type: Germany (0)
Stakes: ₦10,000 at 1.85 odds
- Germany wins: You win ₦8,500 profit.
- Draw: Your ₦10,000 stake is refunded.
- Germany loses: You lose your ₦10,000 stake.
Betting Tips for (0) Handicap in Field Hockey:
- Use when matches are close:
- If two teams are evenly matched, (0) protects you from a draw.
- Ideal for cautious betting:
- Safer than betting on “Win” (1X2) markets.
- Avoid when strong favorite:
- If a team is clearly better, go for straight win or handicap like -1.5 instead.
- Check team news & stats:
- Make sure your team is likely to push for a win, not settle for a draw.
- Good for away teams:
- When an away team has a chance to win but a draw is likely, (0) can offer value.
