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.
Patent example with one-winner cover
A GBP 5 patent across three selections costs GBP 35 because it creates seven lines. At odds of 2.00, 3.00, and 4.00, one winning 4.00 selection returns GBP 20 from its single. Two winners at 3.00 and 4.00 return their singles plus the double, so cover builds faster than a trixie.
Patent vs trixie for three selections
Choose a patent when one-winner cover matters. Choose a trixie when you want the cheaper four-line structure and are happy to exclude singles.
Racing-card use case and patent mistakes
Patents suit small racing cards where three selections all have a case but you still want a return from one winner. The common mistake is forgetting the seven-line stake. A GBP 5 patent is not GBP 5 total; it is GBP 35 before any each-way doubling.
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.
Why does a patent cost more than a trixie?
Because it includes three singles in addition to the doubles and treble.
Can one winner return money in a patent?
Yes. The single line on that selection can return even if the other two lose.
