How the Alphabet bet calculator works
The calculator splits the alphabet into its components: two patents (14 bets), a fourfold yankee-style block (11 bets), and a sixfold accumulator, totalling 26 lines. Each section displays gross return, net profit, and active combinations so you can quickly evaluate contribution.
- Component-level breakdown for patents and the acca.
- Each-way functionality with flexible place fractions and places.
- Commission and free bet inputs for accurate net results.
- Active combination tracker and clean exposure summary.
- Copyable component summaries for your tracker.
When to use the Alphabet bet calculator
Popular for horse racing and greyhound cards when you want structured cover across six selections without the complexity of a Heinz. Good for bettors who like to isolate where cover sits versus where upside lives.
Make smarter staking decisions
Review each component separately to understand whether patents or the acca drive most of the upside. If the patents look strong, consider adjusting stake split or comparing to a Lucky 63.
