What “Away (0)” Means
- Asian Handicap 0 is the same as a “Draw No Bet” (DNB).
- If you bet on Away (0), you are betting on the away team to win the match — but if the game ends in a draw, your stake is refunded.
- Essentially, you’re removing the draw as a losing outcome.
How the Handicap Works
- The away team starts with a 0-goal handicap.
- This means the match result is settled on the actual score:
- If the away team wins, you win.
- If the match is a draw, your stake is refunded (no win/loss).
- If the away team loses, you lose your bet.
This is different from +0.5 or -0.5 handicaps because there’s no “half goal” involved — so refunds are possible.
Example Scenario
Let’s say:
- Match: Chelsea (Home) vs Manchester United (Away)
- You bet on Manchester United Away (0) at odds of 2.00.
Results:
- If Manchester United win 2–1 → You win.
- If the game ends 1–1 draw → Stake refunded.
- If Manchester United lose 1–2 → You lose.
Why Bettors Use Away (0) / Asian Handicap 0
- To back a team to win but with some protection if the game ends level.
- Great when you think the away side is stronger than the odds suggest but you’re unsure if they’ll secure a win.
Betting Tips
- Check Away Form:
Backing Away (0) is stronger if the away team has solid road form and the home team is inconsistent. - Injuries & Rotations:
If key home players are out, an away (0) bet can be valuable. - Head-to-Head History:
Look at previous matchups — does the away team often get draws at this ground? - Value in Odds:
Compare the Away (0) odds to “Draw No Bet” odds — they’re usually the same, but some bookmakers offer slight differences. - Good for Tight Games:
Perfect for matches where you expect the away team to get at least a draw but may push for a win.
In Short
Away (0) = You’re backing the away team to win, but if it’s a draw you get your money back.
This is one of the safest ways to bet on an away team without full risk of losing on a draw.
