Match Result (Refunded if Draw)
The “Match Result (Refunded if Draw)” is a type of football bet where you bet on either Team A to win or Team B to win, but if the match ends in a draw, your stake is returned.
- It’s sometimes called Draw No Bet (DNB) in sportsbooks.
- Essentially, it removes the risk of losing your bet if the match ends in a tie.
- You are only betting on a win for your chosen team.
2. How It Works
Suppose we have a match:
Manchester United vs Chelsea
- Odds:
- Manchester United win: 1.90
- Chelsea win: 2.10
- Draw: Not applicable (because draw refunds stake)
If you bet $100 on Manchester United:
| Outcome | Result |
|---|---|
| Manchester United wins | You win $190 (profit $90) |
| Chelsea wins | You lose $100 |
| Draw | Your $100 is refunded |
3. Examples
- Example 1:
- Match: Arsenal vs Liverpool
- Bet: Arsenal DNB @ 2.00
- Outcome: 1–1 draw → Bet is refunded
- Example 2:
- Match: Real Madrid vs Barcelona
- Bet: Real Madrid DNB @ 1.80
- Outcome: Real Madrid wins 2–0 → You win $180 on a $100 bet
- Example 3:
- Match: Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund
- Bet: Dortmund DNB @ 3.00
- Outcome: Bayern wins → You lose your stake
4. Key Benefits
- Lower Risk: Protects your stake in case of a draw.
- Simpler than Draw Option: You don’t need to predict a draw; it’s automatically neutralized.
- Good for Close Matches: Useful when two teams are evenly matched.
5. Tips for Betting
- Check Team Form: Teams on winning streaks are safer for DNB bets.
- Avoid Heavy Underdogs: Although odds are higher, probability of losing is bigger.
- Look at Head-to-Head History: Some rivalries frequently end in draws; DNB can save your stake.
- Use with Asian Handicap: Sometimes DNB is part of an Asian Handicap market for better odds.
