When it comes to football betting, sometimes you want to back your instincts – but without risking it all. That’s where Draw No Bet (DNB), Home No Bet, and Away No Bet markets come into play.
Each of these options provides a form of insurance. They remove one potential outcome from your bet, helping you stay protected if the match doesn’t go as planned.

Are you ready to go 1Up?!
What Is ‘Draw No Bet (DNB)’?
You can find Draw No Bet under the Popular markets section on Bet9ja.
Here, you’re backing a team to win the match outright. If the match ends in a draw, your bet is voided and your stake is returned.
It’s one of the most widely used safety-net markets and particularly useful for close fixtures where both sides are evenly matched. The only way you lose is if your chosen team suffers defeat.
What Is ‘Home No Bet’?
Found under the Home/Away section on Bet9ja, the Home No Bet market lets you predict that the away team will win or that the match will end in a draw.
If the home team wins, your bet is voided and your stake is refunded.
This market is ideal when you think the away team could take something from the match but want to stay safe in case the hosts sneak a victory.
What Is ‘Away No Bet’?
Also under the Home/Away tab, Away No Bet works in the opposite way. You’re predicting that the home team will win or that the match will end in a draw.
If the away team wins, your stake is refunded.
This is a smart pick when the home side are strong favourites, but you want protection in case it finishes level.

Why Use These Markets?
All three of these markets are designed to limit risk without taking away your chance of profit. They’re perfect for punters who like a more cautious approach, especially in fixtures that look evenly balanced on paper.
The trade-off is slightly reduced odds compared to standard 1X2 markets – but the reduced risk often makes that worth it.
For example, if two mid-table sides are evenly matched, “Draw No Bet” or “Home/Away No Bet” gives you a safety net that a standard win bet doesn’t.
Do Your Research
Before placing any of these bets, take time to study form, injuries, and home/away records. Using stat resources like Opta, StatMuse and other football data trackers can help you spot patterns, for instance, teams that draw often or those that rarely lose at home.
With the right research, these “no bet” markets can be a smart way to balance risk and reward.
