How the Patent bet calculator works
The calculator spreads your stake across seven bets and itemises returns for each single, every double, and the treble. It highlights the break even point and shows exactly how many winners you need at your chosen odds to return profit. Each-way handling mirrors racing place terms and you can enter commission when planning exchange hedges.

When to use the Patent bet calculator
Ideal when you fancy three selections but still want the safety net of singles to protect bankroll. Use it to compare the cover of a patent versus the leaner risk of a trixie before you stake.
Make smarter staking decisions
Compare the results to a trixie to decide whether the extra cover from singles suits your strategy. If two of the three are strong and one is speculative, the singles can cushion variance while keeping the upside alive via the treble.
Frequently asked questions
How many bets are in a patent?
Seven: three singles, three doubles, and a treble.
Do I need every selection to win?
No. Even one or two winners can return cash thanks to the singles, depending on prices.
Can patents be each-way?
Yes, and the calculator mirrors the win and place returns at your selected terms.
When is a trixie better than a patent?
If you want a lower total stake and are comfortable without singles cover, a trixie can be leaner.
