Win to nil means the team you backed wins the match and does not concede. Both halves of that have to be true, so a 3-1 win loses the bet just as a 0-1 defeat does. The No side covers everything else, and that includes any draw, 0-0 among them.
What is an example of win to nil no?
Anything except a clean-sheet win for your side. Your team wins 3-1 and it settles No, because they conceded. The match ends 1-1 and it settles No, because nobody won.
That first one is where the money goes. People read win to nil as a slightly better version of a home win, and it is not. It is two bets sold as one.
Is 0-0 a win to nil no?
Yes. The clean sheet is there, the win is not, and the Yes side needs both.
Plenty of slips have died on that scoreline with the bettor convinced the keeper had done his job. He had. The strikers had not.
What does away team to win to nil mean?
The away side wins and the home side does not score at all. Only 0-1, 0-2 and 0-3 style results pay it.
It prices longer than the home version for the obvious reason, and it goes down to a consolation goal in the eighty-eighth minute more often than anyone would like.
Today's clean sheet angle

Win to nil needs a winner and a blank in the same match. The second half of that lives on our live both teams to score table: a fixture we rate for BTTS No, against a side we rate to win, is the shape you are looking for.
Team news moves clean-sheet prices more than it moves anything else. Check before you stake.
What is the meaning of no away team to win to nil?
It pays whenever the away side fails to win to nil, which is most matches on most cards.
Which is why it prices so short. You are paid very little to bet that something difficult does not happen, and plenty of slips get padded out with selections like this because they look safe.
Is win to nil worth the extra price?
Sometimes, and only against a side that has genuinely stopped scoring.
Say the home win is 1.40 and win to nil on the same side is 2.10. You are offered an extra 0.70 to add a clean sheet to a bet you already fancied. Whether that is value comes down to how likely the away side is to score at all, and a penalty at 88 minutes takes it regardless of how the match looked.
I leave it alone unless the away side has been blanked repeatedly and is missing whoever does their scoring. Otherwise the plain win is the better bet.
Questions people ask
Does an own goal break a win to nil?
Yes. It is credited as a goal for the opposition, so the clean sheet is gone and the bet loses however the match finishes.
Is win to nil the same as BTTS No?
No. BTTS No only asks that one side fails to score, and it pays on a 0-0. Win to nil asks who that side is and needs the other one to win. Our page on what BTTS means sets out the difference.
Does extra time count?
No. It settles on ninety minutes plus stoppage, so a cup tie is judged on the first ninety.
Can I combine win to nil with a goal line?
You can, and the two fight each other. A win to nil plus over 2.5 goals needs a 3-0 at minimum, which is a narrow set of results to be paid on.
Which is safer, a home win or a home win to nil?
The plain home win, always, and the price tells you so. Our piece on betting home or away covers which side of a fixture to be on before you start adding conditions to it.
