How to use the Draw No Bet and Double Chance calculator

It's easy to derive a general rule for the stakes. If you label the total amount of money you want to risk with TOTAL, odds for Home Win with HOME, Away Win with AWAY, and odds for Draw with DRAW, then the stake to put on the home win is:

• STAKE (HOME WIN) = TOTAL * (DRAW – 1) / DRAW

and, similarly, if you would like to bet on the AWAY DRAW NO BET:

• STAKE (AWAY WIN) = TOTAL * (DRAW – 1) / DRAW

As you can see, stakes depend only on odds for the draw.

Betting on a HOME DRAW NO BET equals to bet on the following odds:

• Home Decimal Odds = HOME * (DRAW – 1) / DRAW

Betting on a AWAY DRAW NO BET equals to bet on the following odds:

• Away Decimal Odds = AWAY * (DRAW – 1) / DRAW
