Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Patent bet defined?
A Patent is a 7-bet system covering 3 selections: 3 singles, 3 doubles, and 1 treble. Because singles are part of the structure, a single winner is enough to guarantee a return.
In what way does a Patent differ from a Trixie?
A Patent carries 3 singles that a Trixie leaves out, which makes it 7 bets rather than 4. The upside is that one winner secures a return; the downside is the larger overall stake.
Is a Patent a worthwhile bet?
Patents offer solid coverage given that a single winner produces a return. They are at their most effective when your selections carry higher odds, since the singles returns can recoup the whole stake on just one winner.
