English term or phrase: Bet not to win
We are looking for the correct French term for betting "not to win" say example if you place a bet for Man Utd 'not to win' and they draw or lose you are a winner.

Are there any French betting aficionados who know the correct phrase that is used in French?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I appreciate your input guys, but this only refers to losing and not 'not to win' which could be drawing or losing, if you see what i mean.
