When to Use Draw No Bet

Draw No Bet (DNB), also known as Asian Handicap 0, is a bet on a team to win where your stake is refunded if the match ends in a draw.

You simply pick a team to win:

• If your team wins → you win
• If the match ends in a draw → you get your stake back
• If your team loses → you lose the bet

DNB is popular when one team looks stronger, but a draw is still a realistic outcome. It reduces risk — but comes with lower odds than a regular win bet.

💡 Is Draw No Bet the Same as Asian Handicap 0?

Yes, in most cases, Draw No Bet is identical to Asian Handicap 0.0 — both refund your stake if the match ends in a draw. Some sportsbooks simply use different naming conventions.

How Does Asian Handicap 0 Work?

The trade-off is simple: Draw No Bet offers lower odds than a standard 1X2 bet, because the draw no longer counts as a losing outcome.

Here’s how it looks in practice, using a football match between Wolverhampton and Tottenham:

As you can see, the draw is removed.

✅ If you bet $10 on Tottenham to win, you can win $15 ($10 x 1.50) or lose $10.

✅ If you bet $10 on Tottenham with Draw No Bet, you can win $11 ($10 x 1.18), get $10 back, or lose $10.

When to Use Draw No Bet

Draw No Bet works best when a draw feels very possible, and you don’t want it to ruin your bet.

• Playing it safe with a strong team. Think a team won’t lose but might settle for a draw? DNB protects your stake if it finishes tied.
• Adding balance to parlays. DNB is a solid way to reduce risk when building parlays or system bets, even if the odds are slightly lower.
• A DNB bet on the underdog only makes sense if the favourite is clearly overvalued — for example, after a European midweek match — and you believe the underdog can put up a fight.

Draw No Bet vs Double Chance

Draw No Bet is different from Double Chance. With DNB, your team must win, while a draw only returns your stake. With Double Chance, you cover two outcomes — for example, Tottenham or Draw (1X/X2) means the bet wins if Tottenham win or the match ends in a draw.

That extra protection usually means lower odds. In the example above, Tottenham Draw No Bet is priced at 1.18, while Tottenham or Draw could be around 1.25–1.30 depending on the market and bookmaker. DNB is better when you expect the team to win but want draw protection; Double Chance is better when your main goal is simply for the team not to lose.

Common Mistakes With Asian Handicap 0

💡 Quick tip: Draw No Bet works best when a draw is genuinely in play — not as a default option for every bet.

What Sports Can You Use Draw No Bet For?

Draw No Bet is most commonly used in sports where a draw (tie) is a real possible outcome — that’s when this type of bet makes sense.

• Football (Soccer) — the main sport where draws happen often.
• Rugby — some matches can end in a tie during regular time.
• Ice Hockey — some sportsbooks offer DNB based on regulation time.
• Other sports with ties — any sport with a possible draw outcome may have DNB markets at some books.

If a sport never ends in a tie (like tennis or basketball), the Draw No Bet option usually isn’t offered because there’s no draw to remove.
