Frequently Asked Questions

What is Draw No Bet (DNB), Home No Bet (1NB) and Away No Bet (2NB)?

Draw No Bet (DNB) is a market where you back a team to win, but your stake is returned if the match ends in a Draw. Your bet wins if the selected team wins and loses if the other team wins.

For example, if you bet on the 2 DNB market, your bet wins if the Away team wins and your stake is returned if the match ends in a Draw.

Home No Bet (1NB) and Away No Bet (2NB) work in a similar way: your stake is returned in the case of a Home or Away win, respectively.

For example, if you bet on X 1NB, your bet wins if the match ends in a Draw, your stake is returned if the Home team wins, and you lose if the Away team wins.

Use our tool to convert traditional 1X2 odds into synthetic DNB, Home No Bet and Away No Bet prices and compare them with the equivalent odds offered by your bookmaker for these markets.

What is Double Chance (DC) and what do 1X/X2/12 mean?

Double Chance allows you to cover two of the three possible match outcomes with a single bet.

  • 1X = Home win or Draw
  • X2 = Draw or Away win
  • 12 = Home win or Away win

Unlike Draw No Bet, where a Draw returns your stake, a Double Chance bet wins when either of its two covered outcomes occurs.

Use our tool to convert traditional 1X2 odds into synthetic Double Chance prices and compare them with the equivalent odds offered by your bookmaker for these markets.

How can I recreate Double Chance, Draw No Bet and other No Bet markets?

If a bookmaker does not offer the market you want, you can use the available 1X2 markets to recreate an equivalent synthetic market.

Let's use an example where the following Decimal odds are offered for the standalone 1X2 markets:

  • Home: 2.00
  • Draw: 4.00
  • Away: 3.00

If you stake £6.67 on Home and £3.33 on Draw, your total stake is £10.00 and, in the case of either a Home or Draw result, the return will be approximately £13.33. You have effectively recreated a synthetic 1X market at approximately 1.33 odds.

Similarly, if you stake £7.50 on Home and £2.50 on Draw, your total stake is £10.00. In the case of a Draw, you will receive £10.00 back, while a Home win will return £15.00. You have effectively recreated a synthetic Home DNB market at 1.50 odds.

How do I calculate my stake split for synthetic Double Chance and No Bet markets?

Our tool makes it easy to calculate stake splits instantly.

First, enter the Home, Draw and Away 1X2 odds and select the market you want to recreate. Then enter the total stake you want to allocate to that market.

The calculator will show the required stake split across the relevant 1X2 markets. The split is calculated so that the combined bets replicate the payout characteristics of the selected market.

For example, a synthetic Draw No Bet market uses stakes on the selected team and the Draw, while a synthetic 1X Double Chance market uses stakes on the Home and Draw outcomes.

Does this calculator work with other markets?

Yes. The calculator can also be used with markets that have the same three-outcome structure as 1X2, such as 1+GG, X+GG and 2+GG.

For example, if you enter the odds for 1+GG, X+GG and 2+GG instead of 1, X and 2, respectively, the calculator will effectively produce synthetic prices for 1X+GG, X2+GG and 12+GG under the corresponding Double Chance columns. The No Bet outputs can be ignored.

The same principle can be applied to other three-way markets where the three outcomes are mutually exclusive and cover all possible outcomes.

Can I use Sportsbook and Exchange Back odds with this calculator?

Yes. The calculator supports both Sportsbook and Exchange Back odds as inputs and can show the equivalent prices for both.

For example, you can enter the Home, Draw and Away 1X2 Sportsbook odds and see the equivalent synthetic Double Chance and DNB prices for both Sportsbook and Exchange Back. This makes it easy to compare a bookmaker's price with the equivalent price available on an Exchange.

You can also use Exchange Back odds as your 1X2 inputs and calculate the equivalent synthetic prices.

The core conversion and stake-split calculations can be used with any betting Exchange. If you use an Exchange other than Betfair, make sure you use the commission rate that applies to your account.

What Exchange commission rate should I use in this tool?

Use the commission rate that applies to your Exchange account. The default setting is 2%, but you can change it in Settings.

Exchange commission can affect the effective price you receive, so use the rate that applies to your account when comparing synthetic prices with Exchange prices.

Formulas
Real odds (Exchange): (nominal − 1) × (1 − 0.02) + 1
1X = D1·Dx / (D1+Dx)   12 = D1·D2 / (D1+D2)   X2 = Dx·D2 / (Dx+D2)
1 DNB = (Dx−1)·D1 / Dx   2 DNB = (Dx−1)·D2 / Dx
X 1NB = (D1−1)·Dx / D1   2 1NB = (D1−1)·D2 / D1
1 2NB = (D2−1)·D1 / D2   X 2NB = (D2−1)·Dx / D2
