How the figures work
What is a Patent?
A Patent is a full-cover bet on 3 selections that includes the singles: 3 singles + 3 doubles + 1 treble = 7 bets. The singles mean even one winner gives you a return, though only a strong winner will cover all 7 unit stakes. Total stake is 7 × your unit stake.
- 1Add three selections: Patent always uses three.
- 2Set your unit stake. Total cost = 7 × unit stake.
- 3Even one winner returns money. Need a price longer than 6/1 for one winner to cover the full 7-unit stake.
Quick answers
Bet calculator FAQs
The practical questions to check before placing a bet.
What is a Patent bet?
A Patent is a full-cover bet on 3 selections that includes the singles: 3 singles + 3 doubles + 1 treble = 7 bets. Even one winner gives a return, though the price needs to be longer than 6/1 for one winner to cover the full 7-unit stake.
How many bets does a Patent consist of?
Seven: 3 singles (one per selection), 3 doubles (each pair), and 1 treble (all three). Total stake is 7 × your unit stake.
What does a Patent cost in total?
Seven units. £1 unit = £7 total. £2 unit = £14. £5 unit = £35. Each-way doubles to 14, 28 or 70 unit equivalents.
Will one winner cover the Patent stake?
Only at prices longer than 6/1. A 6/1 winner returns £7 on a £1 single (£6 profit + £1 stake): exactly your 7-unit Patent cost. Anything shorter loses money on a one-winner Patent. Use longer-priced selections (8/1+) if you're betting Patents for the singles cushion.
Is a Patent better than a Trixie?
Patent costs 7 units; Trixie costs 4. The extra 3 units buy the singles. If you're confident in just one of your three picks you might fancy the Trixie's lower cost; if you want the cushion of a return on any winner, Patent is the safer play. At equal unit stakes, Patent's all-three-win return is identical to Trixie's plus the three singles' returns.
