The bore draw offer is a popular refund if offer on football. This means if a certain outcome occurs in the football match we will receive a refund. For this offer the trigger for the refund is if the game finishes 0-0 and our bet loses. As the refund is cash, this a particularly good offer. The bore draw offer gets its name from the fact that a game with no goals is often considered to be a poor quality match.
The eligible markets for the bore draw offer with Bet365 include correct score, half time/full time and scorecast. For matched betting purposes we will only be interested in the first two of these markets.
Although the correct score market is the most popular market for matched bettors to use for this offer we must be sure not to back 0-0 as our bet needs to lose to get the cash refund if the match finishes 0-0. We must also avoid betting on the draw/draw market as this bet would also win if the match finished 0-0 so we would not receive the cash refund.
The best way to find matches for this offer is to use the OddsMatcher software and search for good matches on the correct score and half time/full time markets:
If you find a close match you may wish to put the bet on and then hope that the match finishes 0-0 to receive your stake back as cash as well as the winning lay stake on the exchange. For example, if you back 2-1 to Arsenal with Bet365 and lay 2-1 on Smarkets you would win the lay bet and receive your back bet back as cash if the match finished 0-0.
