Multiple Bets - How to Win Big at the Races
Double Also known as a two-bet accumulator.
A win double means you predict the winners of two events, and both must win to get a return.
The money that you win on the first event will be carried forward onto the second.
For example, you put a 5 pound win double for 'Nag's Head' (2/1) in the 1.
40 at Doncaster and 'Cheeky Monkey' (12/1) in the 2.
35 at Sandown.
- Winning the first race will give you a payout of 15 pounds (2 x 5 pounds plus original 5 pounds stake).
This 15 pounds will then be put onto 'Cheeky Monkey' at 12/1 in the second race. - Winning the second race will give you a payout of (15 pounds x 12) + 15 pounds stake = 195 pounds (a profit of 190 pounds from the original 5 pounds stake).
Treble This works in exactly the same way as a double except that three selections are chosen.
Four Fold Accumulator Four selections are chosen.
Trixie Effectively four bets based around three selections: one win treble and three win doubles - meaning you have to pick out three selections.
At least two of them must win to secure a return.
The bet can also be made each-way.
For example:
- 1.
40 Doncaster - Nag's Head - 2.
35 Sandown - Cheeky Monkey - 3.
05 Goodwood - Runaway Success
- Nag's Head/Cheeky Monkey/Runaway Success
- Nag's Head/Cheeky Monkey
- Nag's Head/Runaway Success
- Cheeky Monkey/Runaway Success
