Draw no bet explained
Draw no bet takes the draw out of play. If the match ends level, you usually get your stake back.
| Outcome | What DNB pays |
|---|---|
| Your team wins | Bet wins. |
| Match drawn | Stake usually comes back. |
| Your team loses | Bet loses. |
When DNB helps
Use draw no bet when you like a team but do not want the draw to beat you.
You pay for that with a lower price than the straight win bet.
Want to bet on one match on its own?
A pool ticket and a bookmaker bet are different products. If what you want is a bet on one of these matches on its own, at a price you can see before you stake, that is a licensed South African bookmaker rather than a pool.

Questions
Is draw no bet a safe bet?
No. It takes out the draw, not the risk. If your team loses, your stake is gone. You also get a shorter price than the straight win bet.
