What is Bore Draw?
Bore Draw is a football specific promotion that is a fun way of rewarding punters who have to sit through a dull game essentially. If you back a team to win in the Match Result market for a football game, and that games finishes 0-0, the bookie will return your stake as a free bet. This stake is often limited to a maximum, but it remain a nice way of bookies adding a small-ish safety net.
Approximately a quarter of games end in a draw, and around just 8% of all games across the top five leagues end without a single goal being scored. Bookie obviously know this, and so know that there isn't going to be a huge number of times in which they have to return punters' stakes. That said, there probably aren't many bettors choosing markets specifically because they have a bore draw promotion running on it, but it's still nice having it there regardless.
In some instances, it isn't just the result market that has Bore Draw promotions running, with Scorecast and Correct Score both featuring, also.
