What Does DNB (Draw No Bet) Mean?
DNB stands for Draw No Bet. It is a football market where you pick a winner, but the stake is returned if the match ends in a draw.
What Is DNB?
If your selected team wins, the bet wins. If the match is drawn, the bookmaker returns the stake. Only a defeat for the selected team makes the bet lose.
How DNB Works
Example: Liverpool DNB.
- Liverpool win: the bet wins.
- The match is drawn: the stake is returned.
- Liverpool lose: the bet loses.
This makes DNB more conservative than a standard win bet, but the odds are usually lower.
DNB and Asian Handicap 0
DNB is practically the same settlement logic as Asian Handicap 0. In both markets, a win pays, a draw returns the stake, and a loss loses.

When DNB Is Useful
DNB is often useful when you like one team but respect the draw risk. It is common in tight fixtures, away favourites, and matches where 0-0 or 1-1 feels realistic.
