What exactly is Draw No Bet?
A football match has three possible outcomes — a home win, an away win, or a draw. With a standard 1X2 market, you must commit to one of these three possibilities. The Draw No Bet (DNB) market, however, removes the draw outcome from the equation entirely.
That means if you place a bet on the home team in the Draw No Bet market, you will receive the full profit if the home team wins. If the home team loses, you will lose your stake. But if the match ends in a draw — your entire stake will be refunded. This is the most distinctive feature of this market.
The DNB market on the 1550 platform is available across various football leagues and tournaments. It is an excellent option for those who trust a specific team but cannot completely rule out the possibility of a draw.

How Does Draw No Bet Work?
The following example will make this clearer. Suppose you place a ৳100 bet on the home team in a Premier League match on 1550 under the Draw No Bet market, and the odds are 1.75.
If the home team wins
Your bet: ৳100 × 1.75 = ৳175 total return. Net profit: ৳75.
WinIf the match ends in a draw
Your full ৳100 will be refunded. No profit, no loss.
RefundIf the away team wins
You will lose your entire ৳100 stake, just as with regular betting.

Selecting the DNB market on 1550's betting interface
When Should You Choose the Draw No Bet Market?
Every betting market has its ideal use case. The DNB market isn't equally effective for every match. In certain specific situations, however, it can genuinely work in your favour.
When there is a difference in strength between the two teams, but not a huge one
It's like a mid-table side playing at the home ground of a top team — the home side looks likely to win, yet a draw cannot be ruled out entirely.
When a team is in good form but has a weak defence
For teams with a strong attack but an unreliable goalkeeper, DNB is a safer option.
In the knockout stages of a tournament
Teams tend to play cautiously in cup matches, leading to more draws. Placing a DNB bet in these fixtures is the smart approach.
To reduce risk on high-stake bets
When you are placing a large-stake bet and protecting your capital matters just as much as making a profit.
On late-breaking injury news or updates
You have heard about a key player injury but do not want to change your pick — DNB acts as your backup plan.

The Draw No Bet market is available across a wide range of football leagues worldwide on the 1550 platform. Experienced bettors, however, tend to find this market particularly effective in certain leagues and tournaments.
UEFA Champions League
Draws are more common in the group stage, making it the ideal setting for DNB.
La Liga
Competition at Spain's top league is fierce.
Serie A
Draws are traditionally more common in Italian football.
Bundesliga
Unexpected draws in the German league are not uncommon.
The English Premier League, Ligue 1, and the Portuguese Primeira Liga also regularly offer DNB markets on 1550. During the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup or EURO Championship, this market becomes especially popular.

Advantages & Limitations of the DNB Market
Like any betting market, DNB has certain distinct advantages as well as certain limitations. As an informed bettor, it is important to have a clear understanding of both sides.
Advantages
- A draw returns your full stake
- Enjoy betting with reduced risk to your stake
- Higher odds than Double Chance
- In an Accumulator, only the drawn leg is voided
- A beginner-friendly, low-pressure market
Limitations
- Odds are lower compared to a 1X2 home bet
- May not be available on all matches or in all leagues
- A draw returns your stake — no profit
- Relying solely on DNB over the long term may result in a lower ROI
- In-play betting often has DNB disabled
Draw No Bet in accumulator bets — a smart approach
An Accumulator, or Acca bet, involves combining multiple matches into a single combined wager. It offers the chance of higher returns because each set of odds is multiplied together. However, the risk is comparatively greater as well.
Adding a Draw No Bet market to an Acca bet on 1550 comes with a specific advantage: if any one leg of the accumulator ends in a draw, that leg is voided and the remaining legs are settled as usual.
Take this example — say you place an Accumulator bet across three matches, all on the DNB market. Your selected teams win the first two, but the third ends in a draw. In that case, your Accumulator is recalculated as a two-leg bet — the third leg is simply voided.
An Accumulator Example
| Matches | Market | Result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| A vs B | DNB (A) | A wins | Ongoing |
| C vs. D | DNB (C) | Draw | Voided |
| E vs F | DNB (E) | E wins | Ongoing |
In the example above, the Acca has been reduced to two legs. The C vs D match was voided after ending in a draw, while the results of the other two matches remain intact.

Practical Tips for Success in the DNB Market
Understanding the market alone is not enough — you can only gain real profit from the DNB market by analyzing each match strategically. Here are some tips drawn from the experience of seasoned bettors:
Check the results of the last five matches. Be cautious if there is a history of consecutive draws or losses.
How often the two sides have drawn in previous meetings is a key piece of information.
Some teams are much stronger at home but struggle away — this is a useful factor when selecting DNB bets.
Understand the league table standings — the mindset of a team chasing the title is completely different from one trying to avoid relegation.
Set a budget for each session in advance. DNB reduces risk, but it is not a substitute for responsible betting.
DNB vs Asian Handicap — A Deeper Look at the Differences
Many bettors ask — are Draw No Bet and Asian Handicap 0.0 the same thing? The short answer is: the calculation method is identical, but there are subtle differences between the two that become important in practice.
To begin with, Asian Handicap is a broader system where the handicap value can be 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and so on. DNB is essentially a simplified version of AH 0.0, presented separately within football betting.
Second, DNB and AH 0.0 odds can vary slightly from platform to platform. On 1550, DNB odds are sometimes marginally better than AH 0.0 — or the reverse may be true — so it's worth comparing the two before placing your bet.
Third, because the DNB market is straightforward to read, new users tend to find it easier to understand. If you're new to Asian Handicap betting, keeping the equation "AH 0.0 = Draw No Bet" in mind will make everything much clearer.
Key Differences at a Glance
- Straightforward Naming
- Easy for Beginners
- Refund on draw result only
- May not be available across all leagues
- Part of the AH system
- More popular among experienced bettors
- Push = Refund (same outcome)
- Available across more leagues and markets
