   Assuming you mean a bet that neither team wins it, they didn't offer one, but   
   you can kinda sorta make your own:   
   Let's say you bet A on Alabama not winning, and G on Georgia not winning   
   If Georgia wins, you end up with 1/9 A - G   
   If Alabama wins, you end up with 10/29 G - A   
   They are the same when 1/9 A - G = 10/29 G - A   
   Add A + G to both sides: 10/9 A = 39/29 G   
   Multiply both sides by 9 x 29: 290 A = 351 G   
   If you bet 351 on Alabama (which pays 39) and 290 on Georgia (which pays 100),   
   and:   
   (a) Georgia wins, you end up with  39 - 290 = -251   
   (b) Alabama wins, you end up with 100 - 351 = -251   
   (c) neither wins, you end up with 39 + 100 = 139   
   Even though you are betting 641 in total, you are actually risking 251 to win   
   139, which is about -180.   
      
   On the other hand:   
   Betting 251 on just Alabama pays about 28 if Alabama does not win   
   Betting 251 on just Georgia pays about 87 if Georgia does not win
