Draw No Bet (DNB) & Double Chance: Sensible Safety Nets for New Bettors

DNB vs Double Chance
- DNB (AH 0): Win on your team’s win; stake refunded on draw. Higher price than Double Chance, more upside if you’re confident.
- Double Chance (Team or Draw): Lower price, lower risk; you need a market overlay to justify the trade‑off.
When to use
- Tight matches with low scoring expectation.
- Teams with strong defensive structure but limited attack.
- Situations where a draw is common (e.g., cautious derbies).
Process
- Estimate probabilities for Win/Draw/Loss.
- Compute fair prices for DNB and DC from those probabilities.
- Shop lines. Only play overlays with level stakes.
Mistakes to avoid
- Paying too much for “safety.” If DC is too short, your edge disappears.
- Treating DNB as risk‑free—losses still happen if your team loses.
