The two markets
Both reduce risk and both lower the odds.
Home or draw
Wins if the home team wins or the match is drawn.
Draw or away
Wins if the away team wins or the match is drawn.
Home or away
Wins unless the match is drawn.
Draw no bet
You pick a winner. If the match is drawn, your stake is returned.
Which one to use
Match the market to what you believe.
Example: a draw
The match ends 1-1.
| Example: a draw | Double chance 1X | Draw no bet (home) |
|---|---|---|
| Result | Wins | Stake returned |
| If home loses | Loses | Loses |
| If home wins | Wins | Wins |
