Draw No Bet explained
A win wins the bet, a draw returns the stake and a defeat loses. Compare the price with a straight win bet.

Three possible results
Back a team in Draw No Bet: its win wins, a draw returns the stake, and its defeat loses. The draw is a refund, not a profit.
For a standard full-match selection, use 90 minutes plus added time. Check the market label for a different period.
Compare the price
Draw No Bet and a straight win cover different outcomes. Do not judge the prices as if both paid after a draw.
A lower return may be the price of the refund condition. Compare the actual offers, rather than assuming a fixed difference.
Double chance is different
Double chance 1X wins on the home win or draw. Draw No Bet on the home side refunds on a draw.
Asian handicap 0 has the same basic result pattern as Draw No Bet. Read the operator's terms and period before treating the selections as equivalent.
On a combined slip
Check how a refunded leg changes accumulator odds. Under standard rules it contributes no winning price, but promotion terms can differ.
For other handicap lines, read Asian handicap settlement.
