| Bet | Picks | Bets | How it pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | One pick. It wins, you get stake × odds. | |
| 2 / 3 | 1 | Two or three picks in one bet. All must win (a void one counts as odds 1.00). | |
| 4+ | 1 | Four or more picks in one bet. One loser and the whole bet loses. | |
| 3 | 4 | 3 doubles and 1 treble. Needs 2 winners to return something. | |
| 3 | 7 | A Trixie plus 3 singles, so 1 winner already pays. | |
| 4 | 11 | 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 four-fold. Needs 2 winners. | |
| 4 | 15 | A Yankee plus 4 singles, so 1 winner already pays. | |
| 5 | 26 | 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds and 1 five-fold. | |
| 5 | 31 | A Canadian plus 5 singles. | |
| 6 | 57 | Every double, treble, four-, five- and six-fold from 6 picks. | |
| 6 | 63 | A Heinz plus 6 singles. |
02 · Settling
Won, lost or void: what each one does.
A bet with many lines is settled line by line. One result changes every line the pick is in.
Lost
Every line with this pick is lost. The other lines still pay.
Void
A non-runner or a cancelled match: odds 1.00, the line goes on without it.

Bets, explained in one line each.
How do I use the bet calculator?
Pick the bet type, type the odds of each pick in any format, mark each pick as won, lost or void and enter your stake. Returns, profit and what every line pays update as you type.
How are accumulator winnings worked out?
Multiply the decimal odds of all the picks, then multiply by the stake. A stake of 10 on a treble at 2.10, 1.85 and 1.60 returns 10 × 2.10 × 1.85 × 1.60 = 62.16, a profit of 52.16.
What is the difference between returns and profit?
Returns are everything you get back, your stake included. Profit is the returns minus what the whole bet cost you (the outlay).
How many bets are in a Yankee, a Lucky 15 or a Heinz?
Trixie: 4. Patent: 7. Yankee: 11. Lucky 15: 15. Canadian: 26. Lucky 31: 31. Heinz: 57. Lucky 63: 63. With a stake per line, the bet costs the stake times that number.
What is the difference between a Yankee and a Lucky 15?
A Lucky 15 is a Yankee plus the 4 singles: 15 bets instead of 11, so one winner already returns something.
How many winners do I need to get money back?
A Trixie, Yankee, Canadian or Heinz needs at least 2 winners to return anything. A Patent or a Lucky 15, 31 or 63 pays from 1 winner. Whether that is a profit depends on the odds.
What happens when one pick loses in a full-cover bet?
Only the lines with that pick are lost; every other line still pays. In a Yankee with 3 winners out of 4, the 3 doubles and the treble of the winners pay.
How is a void pick settled?
As odds 1.00. The line stays alive with the other picks, so a treble with one void pays as a double.
Stake per line or total?
Per line: every bet in it gets the stake, so a Yankee at 1 costs 11. Total: your stake is split across all the lines.
Can I type fractional or American odds?
Yes: decimal (2.50), fractions (6/4, evs) and American (+150, -200). Switch the format above the picks and the odds you typed are converted.
Does it work out each-way bets?
Not yet. An each-way bet is two bets: one to win and one to place, the place part paid at a fraction of the odds, such as 1/4 or 1/5. Rule 4 and dead heats are not covered either.
Why does my bookmaker pay a little differently?
Bookmakers round, cap the maximum payout, add bonuses (on a Lucky 15, for example) or apply Rule 4 in racing. Their settlement decides.
Each-way, Rule 4 and dead heats are not covered here. For information only; your bookmaker's settlement decides. Odds in another format? Odds converter →
