rajabets: How to calculate a draw using 1X2 odds without betting

What is a draw no bet?
Betting on regular time football results using 1X2 odds, players often want the simpler two-way market option. There are two common options, Double Win – a combination of home team and draw or away team and draw (

), or no bet on draw, as the name suggests, removes draw from betting options and players can bet on home or away team to win. Win money if their team wins, and get your stake back if the game ends in a draw.

In contrast, if a player bets on the home or away team to win, he or she will win money based solely on the result, and lose the bet if the game ends in a draw. So, logically, the return on a draw no bet (and accordingly, the draw no bet odds) is somewhere between 1X2 and double win.

Players can combine 1X2 odds and bet like a draw without betting. In order to do this, they need to cover the home team win bet with the draw profit, so that if the game ends in a draw, their net profit will be zero, effectively achieving what you want.

Let’s look at an example of using draw no bets on rajabets. You think Aston Villa are much better than Chelsea and you want to bet €100 on Villa to win at odds of 7.790, but you want insurance – to get your stake back if the game ends in a draw.

Other bookmakers have odds of 4.90 and 5.50. This means that the winnings for a €100 bet range from €390 to €450.

Now do you want to bet with another bookmaker with even lower odds? Let’s study it.

As mentioned earlier, rajabets has odds of 7.790 to win against Villa, 4.300 for a draw, and 1.518 for Chelsea. Can we use these odds to our advantage?

As you can see, betting only depends on the draw odds, which will make your calculations easier, and the same goes for home team draw no bets and away team draw no bets. But if you want to calculate valid odds, you need to include home team win and away team win odds.

Now you can quickly calculate draw no bet stakes and 1X2 market odds to find that rajabets offer better value than other bookmakers, and also apply this calculation between two bookmakers.
