What is a Patent Bet?
The patent is a 3 selection wager consisting of 7 bets: 3 singles, 3 doubles and a treble.
This is a full cover bet that can be thought of as a trixie with 3 single bets added to each selection. Each choice appears in 1 single, 2 doubles and a treble. One losing selection can significantly impact the returns of this bet. Try out different outcomes and odds on the patent bet calculator to get a feel for how returns can be influenced by small changes. On the bet slip, the stake can be stated as either per bet or total amount; if per bet is chosen, the total stake will be 7 times the value entered.
Any one winning choice from the patent is enough to generate a return - this is considered to be one of the main advantages over a trixie.
Patent Composition
The patent is composed of the following parts:
| Part | Selections (1-3) | Number of Bets |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 1, 2, 3 | 3 |
| Double | 12, 23, 13 | 3 |
| Treble | 123 | 1 |
| Total: | 7 | |
