Types of bet - other bets

Accumulators

These are bets of more than 3 horses, bet to WIN or E/W, and are firm favourites with both the punters & the bookmakers (as they produce the most profit). Accumulators can be placed in specially worded bets, explained below, and these are designed by the bookmakers to increase there profit even more. You may stand the chance of winning more, but it doesn't happen often, if it did the bookmakers wouldn't accept them would they?

Treble

A treble is exactly the same as a win double, but the punter must correctly predict the winners of 3 races to be victorious. This type of bet rarely wins but usually yields a very high return if it does, since the entire winnings from two aggregate bets are staked on the third race. If any of the 3 horses fails to win, the bet is lost.

Tricast

Select the 1st, 2nd and 3rd home in the correct order. By using the words full cover tricast the 3 you select can finish in any order but this is 6 bets.

Trixie

This type of bet is a combination of 3 doubles and a treble from the same three horses and is normally made each way. Two winners out of three at multiplied odds (allowing for tax) for one successful double of about 7/2 are required to break even on this bet.

Patent

Similar to the trixie but includes the singles as well and amounts to a total of 7 bets.

Yankee

Four selections in doubles, trebles, and a 4 fold accumulator.

Lucky 15

Same as the yankee but includes the 4 singles, giving you 15 bets, hence the name.
