What is draw betting

Draw betting is a football betting market in which a punter predicts that a match will end in a draw, with both teams scoring equal goals or a nil result. For example, a match between team A and team B ending in 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, or 3-3 goals.

Draw betting is a value bet that offers high odds on the expected number of goals or no goals to be scored, compared to home or away win betting, where you predict the winner.

In draw betting, if the match result is a decisive winner, say 0-1, 1-0, or 2-0, the bet is lost because neither team has scored an equal number of goals.

How to spot value in draw betting

To spot value betting in the draw market, look for similarities in team form, analyse draw records, check the tournament and event being played, and assess the impact of the match. If the teams are struggling to get out of the relegation zone, they are likely to draw.

How draw betting works

Draw betting is when a bettor predicts both teams will score equal goals or the match end in a nil result. For a match between team A and team B, draw betting results should end in 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, or 3-3 goals.

However, if the match result is a decisive winner, say 0-1, 1-0, or 2-0, the bet is lost.

Draw betting markets on SportPesa

At SportPesa, we offer 3-way betting markets, among them draw betting. Other options for draw betting are:

  • 3-way full-time – here the punter predicts the draw outcome for the full time
  • Draw no bet full time – This market eliminates the draw option for Home win or Away win. The bettor wins if the selected team wins; if the match ends in a draw, the stake is refunded.
  • 3-way first half – the bettor predicts a draw in the first half of the match
  • Double chance draw market – Here the punter predicts whether the home team will win or draw (1X) or the away team will win or draw (X2).

Draw betting can be pre-match or in-play: a bettor places a bet before the match starts for the former and during the match for the latter.

Draws can also be placed in accumulator bets, where the punter predicts several match outcomes in a single bet.

Draw betting is also common in SportPesa Jackpots, where a player is required to select several draw outcomes alongside other markets to win the Jackpot.

Bankroll management for draw betting

Since draw betting has a high risk of losing your bet, a punter needs to manage their stake before placing draw bets. 

To manage your bankroll, do not set a high stake; use about 2% of your bankroll for draw betting. For example, if you have KSh 1000 in your wallet, you can stake about KSh 20 for draw bets.

Draw betting tips and strategies to win 

To bet on draws, analyse:

  • The odds offered for each match event to draw compared to the home-away win
  • similarities in team form – teams with the same form are likely to draw
  • Head-to-head and draw records. A team with a common draw in their head-to-head clashes will likely draw
  • The tournament and event are being played. Some leagues and tournaments, such as international friendlies, are likely to be draws.
  • and assess the match’s impact – if a team wants to get out of the relegation zone, it will likely draw the opponent to share points.
