Draw No Bet Predictions Today
Draw No Bet, also called DNB, is a football betting market where you remove the draw from the potential outcomes. You choose either the home or the away team. In case of the victory of your selected team, the prediction becomes successful. Should the match end with a draw, it is considered void and the stake will usually be refunded.
If the opposite team wins, the prediction is lost.
While analyzing Draw No Bet predictions, TrustPredict considers recent form, venue performance, team news and statistics of the match. These predictions minimize the influence of the draw, but do not make the bet safe or certain to win.

DNB 1 and DNB 2 Definitions
DNB 1 means betting on the home team with protection from the draw. The prediction wins if the home team wins, while the draw will usually lead to the refund.
DNB 2 means betting on the away team with similar draw protection. The prediction wins if the away team wins, while the draw will usually lead to the refund.
Both predictions are lost if the opposing team wins.
How We Evaluate DNB Matches
Our evaluation can include:
- Recent form and consistency of the team performance
- Statistics of home and away matches
- Draw statistics
- Goal statistics
- Injuries, suspensions and expected team lineup
- Fixture congestion and players' rest periods
- Teams' positions in the league table and motivation
- Available price for the DNB prediction
The prediction for Draw No Bet may become possible if one of the teams looks better but the probability of the draw remains considerable. Such prediction should not be chosen just because it is safer.
Comparison Between Draw No Bet and Double Chance
While DNB returns the stake when the match ends with a draw, the double chance prediction wins both in case of the victory of your team and a draw.
Therefore, the double chance offers protection from the draw as well as guarantees two outcomes instead of only one. As a rule, DNB offers slightly higher odds compared to the double chance prediction for the same outcome.
See double chance predictions for comparison.
Draw No Bet vs a Standard Match Winner
The standard home/away win bet may give higher odds since it offers no protection from the draw. DNB gives such protection, but offers lower odds.
The choice of the right prediction depends on the fixture, the price and the willingness of the user to take risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does DNB mean?
It means choosing a team to win while removing the draw as a losing outcome. If the match ends with a draw, the stake will usually be refunded.
Can a DNB selection lose?
Yes. It loses when the team opposing your prediction wins the match.
Is DNB guaranteed?
No. Protection from the DNB will not protect the prediction if the opposite team wins.
Does DNB include extra time?
It usually works for the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. However, extra time is not included unless it is explicitly stated by the bookmaker.
Why are DNB odds lower than standard win odds?
Odds are lower because the bettor gets protection in case of the draw.
Conclusion
Draw No Bet can be useful in case of more likely victory of one of the teams, but with the realistic probability of the draw. Consider team's form, venue's performance, availability of the squad and the odds before making the selection. Remember to check the bookmaker's settlement rules.
