FB777 Draw No Bet vs 1X2 and Double Chance
Draw no bet refunds your stake if the match ends level instead of losing it, which removes the draw as a losing outcome and shortens the price on both sides compared with a standard 1X2 line.
- FB777 Arbitrage Betting
- Arbitrage betting is staking across every outcome of one event on different sportsbooks so that the combined implied probability comes to under 100%, which locks in a profit regardless of the result.
- FB777 Bet Slip
- A bet slip is the screen that fills in once you tap a price: it lists your selection, the odds, your stake and the potential return, and confirming it locks all four in as one bet.
- FB777 Odds Converter Table for Every Price Format
- An odds converter turns one price format into another — decimal, Hong Kong, American or fractional — so a bet written two different ways can be compared on the same terms, including the implied probability behind it.
- FB777 Valorant Betting
- Valorant betting covers markets like match winner, map handicap and total maps, priced by whichever esports book is carrying the tournament, and settled once the match reaches its listed format's final map.
Draw no bet solves one specific worry a bettor faces on any of the sportsbooks behind FB777 Sports: backing a team to win, only for the match to end level and the bet to lose along with the draw. This page compares draw no bet against 1X2 and double chance on the same hypothetical match, using prices that are illustrative only.
What Draw No Bet Actually Refunds
Take a hypothetical match between Team A and Team B, each backed at draw no bet prices.
| Result | What happens to a Team A draw no bet |
|---|---|
| Team A wins | Bet wins, paid at the draw no bet price |
| Team B wins | Bet loses |
| Draw | Stake refunded in full |
The stake coming back on a draw is the entire point of the market — it’s a refund, not a consolation payout at a reduced price.
1X2 Betting vs Draw No Bet
A 1X2 market treats the draw as a third, separate outcome rather than removing it.
| Market | Draw treatment | Number of outcomes |
|---|---|---|
| 1X2 | Draw is a losing outcome for a Team A or Team B bet | 3 |
| Draw no bet | Draw refunds the stake | 2 |
Because 1X2 keeps three possible outcomes, its prices tend to run longer on the same two teams than the equivalent draw no bet prices do.
Double Chance Betting vs Draw No Bet
Double chance takes a different route to the same worry: instead of refunding a draw, it lets you back two outcomes at once.
| Bet | Covers | If the match draws |
|---|---|---|
| Draw no bet on Team A | Team A win, refund on draw | Refunded |
| Double chance: Team A or draw | Team A win or draw | Wins |
Double chance pays out on a draw rather than refunding around it, which is why its price for the same match usually sits shorter than a draw no bet price on the same side.
Draw No Bet Pricing: A Worked Example
Using hypothetical decimal prices on the same match, a 1X2 line and a draw no bet line on the same team look different even though they’re covering similar ground.
| Market | Team A price | Draw price | Team B price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1X2 | 2.30 | 3.20 | 3.00 |
| Draw no bet | 1.60 | — | 2.30 |
Removing the draw outcome shortens both remaining prices, since Team A only needs to avoid losing outright to win the draw no bet version of the same bet.
Checking This on a Bet Slip
Whichever sportsbook you’re using, a draw no bet line on the slip reads the same four lines as any other market, with one difference in what happens if the game ends level.
| Slip line | Draw no bet | Standard 1X2 |
|---|---|---|
| Selection | Team A or Team B only | Team A, draw or Team B |
| Result: draw | Stake refunded | Stake lost |
Converting odds with the odds converter is worth doing first if the price is shown in a format you don’t usually read.
FAQ
What does draw no bet mean if the match actually ends in a draw?
Your stake is refunded in full. Neither side is treated as the winner, and the bet settles as if it had never been placed.
Is draw no bet the same as double chance?
No. Double chance covers two of the three 1X2 outcomes for one combined price, while draw no bet removes the draw entirely and refunds the stake if it happens — they solve the same worry about a draw in different ways.
Why is the price shorter on a draw no bet market than on 1X2?
Removing the draw as a losing outcome makes each remaining side more likely to win the bet, so sportsbooks shorten the price on both sides to account for the refund scenario.
Does draw no bet exist for every sport?
It's most common on football, where draws are frequent enough to matter. Check a specific sportsbook's own market list before assuming it's offered on a sport where draws are rare.
