DRAW NO BET HELP

How do I place a bet in this market on KickOff?

Betting on this market is really easy. There are only two options in this market, so once you’ve found the market you want to bet on (more on how to do that below), simply select the odds under “HOME” to back the home side to win or “AWAY” to back the away side to win. In either case, if the match ends in a draw your bet will be void.

If you’re building a draw no bet accumulator then you can continue to add more selections from this market or from other markets. Once you’re finished click “view betslip” on mobile or simply view your betslip on the right hand side of the screen on desktop.

If you want to have your bet counted towards our leaderboards (some of which have cash prizes for the winners) without placing the bet with a bookie then click next to the KickOff logo - we’ll track your bet. Otherwise select the bookmaker you’d like to place your bet with and click next to their logo to be taken to their site where you can complete your bet.

What stats does KickOff have for this market and how should I use them to place my bet?

Form

Form stats show basic things like how many matches a team has won, lost and drawn, as well as how many goals they’ve scored and conceded. By default it shows the last 20 matches at home for the home team. To show all their last 20 regardless of venue click “overall”.

If you’d like to see individual fixtures and scores click “+ see results” under the donut chart.

You can also see winning streaks and unbeaten streaks, which can be great for finding winning draw no bet selections and getting an edge which the bookies might not have included in their odds. Research increasingly suggests the “hot hand” is a real thing which you can use to gain an advantage over the bookies.

League Table

The league table lets you see how a team has performed against every other team in the league. A team’s results are arranged by where the team they played currently are in the league, giving you a chance to see how they have performed against opponents similar to the one they are about to face. For example, if a team has lost 7 games so far this season, but all of those defeats were against teams in the top half, and actually they’ve won 6 of 9 against teams in the bottom half, then they’d probably make a good draw no bet selection the next time they play a team in the bottom half.

How to read the league table?

On the left, there are two columns showing the home team’s previous results (home and away). If a square is green, they won the game, if it’s red they lost, and if it’s solid grey, they drew. Grey squares with dates in them show fixtures which haven’t yet been played. On the right, the away team’s previous results are shown. If you’d like to see the scores of individual matches, use the “scores” slider at the top of the table.

Pro Menu

You can get access to the Pro Menu for just £5 per month. It lets you filter matches to see teams who are on winning, unbeaten or even losing streaks (see form for more info on how you can use this to help your betting). You can also sort bets by how likely they are to win, a great tool for building your accumulator and also for finding value bets (simply compare the odds to our algorithm’s prediction to find games where the odds are long).
