Meaning of “Home | Draw No Bet”
“Home | Draw No Bet (DNB)” means you are betting on the home team to win, but your stake is refunded if the match ends in a draw.
In other words:
- If the home team wins, you win the bet.
- If the match ends in a draw, your stake is returned (no win, no loss).
- If the home team loses, you lose the bet.
Example:
Match: Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Bet: Home | Draw No Bet on Manchester City
Let’s assume:
- Manchester City to Win (DNB) odds = 1.35
Outcome Scenarios:
| Match Result | Result of Your Bet | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester City wins 3–1 | Win | You win the bet and get paid at 1.35 odds |
| Match ends 2–2 | Push / Refund | Stake returned because it’s a draw |
| Tottenham wins 1–0 | Lose | You lose your bet |
Why Choose “Draw No Bet”
This market reduces risk compared to the regular 1X2 (Win/Draw/Lose) market because you’re protected if the game ends in a draw.
It’s a great choice when:
- You’re confident the home team is stronger,
- But there’s a chance the match could end in a draw (e.g., tough opposition or recent form uncertainty).
Another Example:
Match: Real Madrid vs Sevilla
Bet: Home | DNB on Real Madrid at 1.30 odds
- If Real Madrid wins 2–0 → You win.
- If it’s 1–1 → You get your money back.
- If Sevilla wins 1–0 → You lose.
So, if you stake ₦10,000:
- Real Madrid win → you get ₦13,000 (₦3,000 profit).
- Draw → ₦10,000 refunded.
- Lose → you lose ₦10,000.
Betting Tips for “Home | DNB”
- Use it for strong home teams – Teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, or Bayern Munich who rarely lose at home.
- Check team form & injuries – Make sure key players aren’t missing.
- Look for close matchups – Use DNB when a draw seems possible but the home team has a slight edge.
- Combine in Accumulators – DNB bets reduce risk in multi-bets since a draw won’t ruin your slip.
- Ideal in cup matches – Especially when the home side is motivated to win but extra time could lead to a draw.
