What is a No Sweat bet, and how do you track one?
A No Sweat bet is a bet placed with a sportsbook's No Sweat promotion (FanDuel calls its version a Bet Reset): if the bet loses, the stake comes back. In The Sunday Board, a lost No Sweat bet counts as $0 in your totals instead of the wager.

What the promo is
Terms differ by sportsbook and by offer, and they change, so the sportsbook's own terms are the final word on what qualifies and how the stake is returned. The general idea is the same: a loss on the promo bet is made good rather than kept.
How The Sunday Board records it
- In Add bet, under the sportsbook, turn on the No sweat chip (next to Live and Promo).
- If the bet loses, the card shows $0 and "No Sweat, stake back", and your totals, the Season tab, the leaderboard, the weekly recap and the Sunday email count it as $0 instead of minus the stake.
- It still shows as a loss in your record, so a win-loss record stays honest about what happened to the pick.
- A win, a push or a cash-out counts as it normally would.
| Normal bet | No Sweat bet | |
|---|---|---|
| Shown as | Lost | Lost |
| Counted in totals | Minus the wager | $0 (stake comes back) |
| Win, push, cash-out | As usual | As usual |
The board can't see your sportsbook account, so it records what you tell it: whether the sportsbook honored the promo, and in what form it returned the stake, is between you and the sportsbook. No money moves through The Sunday Board.
Questions
Are No Sweat and Bet Reset the same promo?
They are the same idea under different names: FanDuel calls its version a Bet Reset. Mark either with the No sweat chip.
Does a lost No Sweat bet count as a loss in my record?
Yes. It still shows as a loss, but it counts as $0 in your totals instead of the wager.
Can the board tell whether a promo qualified?
No. It records what you enter. Whether the sportsbook honored the promo is between you and the sportsbook.
