What “DNB” (Draw No Bet) Means in Futsal Betting
DNB stands for “Draw No Bet.”
It means:
- You are betting on a team to win the match,
- But if the match ends in a draw after regular time, your stake is refunded (no win, no loss).
Essentially, you remove the “draw” option from your bet.
So instead of 3 outcomes (Home win / Draw / Away win), DNB gives you 2 outcomes:
- Win → you win your bet.
- Draw → you get your money back.
- Lose → you lose your stake.
This bet reduces risk — perfect for close or unpredictable futsal matches.
Example of DNB in a Futsal Match
Let’s take a Futsal Champions League example:
Match:
Sporting CP Futsal vs Barcelona Futsal
DNB Market:
- Sporting CP (Draw No Bet) → 1.90
- Barcelona (Draw No Bet) → 1.90
Scenario 1: Sporting CP wins
- You bet ₦10,000 on Sporting CP DNB @ 1.90
- Sporting CP wins 5–3
You win → ₦10,000 × 1.90 = ₦19,000 (₦9,000 profit)
Scenario 2: The match ends in a draw (4–4)
- Bet: Sporting CP DNB @ 1.90
⚖️ Match Draw → Stake refunded
You get your ₦10,000 back (no win, no loss)
Scenario 3: Barcelona wins
Sporting CP loses → You lose your ₦10,000 stake
Why Bettors Use DNB in Futsal
Futsal games are fast-paced, with lots of goals and momentum swings. Because of that:
- Even strong teams can draw unexpectedly due to short halves (2 × 20 minutes).
- DNB protects your bet if a late goal or equalizer ruins a win.
It’s a safer alternative to a straight match-winner bet.
Betting Tips for DNB in Futsal
1. Use DNB for Close Matches
When both teams are strong and a draw seems likely, DNB minimizes your risk.
Example: Kairat Almaty vs Benfica Futsal – both attacking teams → DNB is smart because a 3–3 draw is possible.
2. Analyze Team Form and Defense
Teams with strong defense are less likely to lose, making them ideal for DNB bets.
If a team rarely loses but draws often, DNB is perfect.
Example: Sporting CP Futsal — strong defense, few losses, several draws → DNB bet is valuable.
3. Avoid DNB in Knockout Games (with overtime)
In knockout matches, DNB usually applies to regular time only (40 minutes).
If the game goes to extra time or penalties, DNB bets are already settled at full-time.
4. Use DNB for Away Underdogs
If an underdog has solid form and can snatch a draw or narrow win, DNB on them offers great value.
Example: Bet on ElPozo Murcia DNB vs Barcelona away — if they draw, you get your stake back.
5. Combine DNB with Accumulators Safely
Adding DNB legs to accumulators reduces risk of losing all bets due to one draw result.
