Draw No Bet means you back one team to win, but if the match ends in a draw, your stake is refunded. The bet only loses if the team you selected loses the match.
What Is Draw No Bet?
Draw No Bet is a betting market that removes the draw as a losing outcome. Instead of choosing between three results (win, draw, or loss), you are effectively betting on just two outcomes: your team wins or your team does not win.
| Match result | What happens to your Draw No Bet? |
| Your team wins | Bet wins |
| Match ends in a draw | Stake is refunded |
| Your team loses | Bet loses |
This aligns with standard sportsbook rules, where a Draw No Bet selection can result in a win, refund (push), or loss.
Draw No Bet Example
Example: Gaborone United vs Township Rollers (Botswana Premier League)
- Selection: Gaborone United (Draw No Bet)
- Stake: P100
- Odds: 80 (illustrative only)
Possible outcomes:
- If Gaborone United win → Bet wins
- If the match ends in a draw → P100 refunded
- If Township Rollers win → Bet loses
Note: Odds and teams used in this example are for explanation only and should not be treated as live Betway odds.

Draw No Bet vs Double Chance
| Market | What happens if the match is a draw? |
| Draw No Bet | Stake is refunded |
| Double Chance including draw | Bet wins |
| Double Chance excluding draw (12) | Bet loses |
When Might Bettors Use Draw No Bet?
Draw No Bet may be useful when:
- A bettor believes one team has a good chance to win
- The match looks closely balanced
- A draw feels like a realistic outcome
- A bettor wants protection against a draw
- A simpler market is preferred over more complex options
This market can help reduce one risk (the draw), but it does not eliminate risk entirely.

Responsible Betting Reminder
Betting carries risk, and there is no guaranteed outcome. Avoid chasing losses, only bet what you can afford, and treat betting as a form of entertainment.
