@FUTUREWCC no never :)
At least in short time controls it seems like people offer draws only when they are losing. If it really is a draw situation they repeat the position.
For my part i usally make a draw offer because its a drawish position in the middle/end game.
But i do not NOT make a draw offer when i know my oppononent are less skillful/much lower rated player, then i try to win anyway.
I make draw offers because the mainreason is that i know it will be a draw unless one of us make mistake(s).
I drew yesterday against this norwegian and make draw offer (ås he declined), because i knew early in the endgame that it will end i threfold repetition....as i did in many games against very strong opponent.
My strength generally is that i can see whats gonna happen, early...all of the strong players declines my drawoffers, but it always ends in draws anyway.
As i can see, they declines because they know they are better players, that's the mainreason, i think.
Å better player makes less mistakes, thats why they're continue...sometimes someone takes GM-remis, why is that? Because they need a ok result and are scared of losing, and having deeply respect for the opponent.
It's so many reasons to make a draw offer, to accept, to decline...It's not only one reason, and decline just to decline...it depends of many things...

My other account (now deleted)...
My opponent had an advantage, and leaded with one pawn...but i har only one chance to make a draw and had to sacrifice my knight, and ny opponent "had" to go far with his king to protect his pawn...so i got position with my king to make a draw...i saw this gonna happen, i maked a drawoffer as i declined...And it ended in a draw.
I dondt make drawoffers just to make a drawoffers...It's always a reason, for my part.

Another one, against the same opponent.
Ludwig, you're right up there with Napoleon Blownapart! :D
That is a solid pun MrPushwood!
I was once winning by a whole rook, and I had to go, but my opponent was losing by a whole rook and he still didn't accept the draw offer. You can tell how mad I was.
