Formula

A Patent consists of 7 bets on 3 selections:

  • 3 Doubles: AB, AC, BC
  • 1 Treble: ABC

Total Stake = 7 × Unit Stake

Just one winner guarantees a return from the singles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Patent?

A Patent is a 7-bet system across 3 selections: 3 singles, 3 doubles, and 1 treble. With singles included, a single winner already locks in a return.

How does a Patent differ from a Trixie?

A Patent adds the 3 singles a Trixie skips, making it 7 bets rather than 4. The upside is that one winner guarantees a return; the downside is a bigger total stake.

Is a Patent a smart bet?

Patents give solid coverage since one winner already pays out. They shine when your selections carry higher odds, where the singles returns can cover the full stake off just one winner.
