A Patent bet is a form of multiple method betting wherein seven bets are placed on three
different selections. Patent ♨️ betting is used to cover all potential outcomes and will
offer a return even if only one bet comes in.
Widely ♨️ compared to the Trixie bet which
consists of four bets, this accumulator bet is slightly different since it is built
♨️ from three singles, three doubles and a treble.
The Patent bet is predominantly used in
Horse Racing – but available across ♨️ all sports – and has become increasingly popular
because you need only one winner from three selections to see a ♨️ return for your
money.
This is because – unlike in Trixie and Yankee betting – singles are included as
well as ♨️ doubles and a treble.
How does a Patent Bet work?
Backed with William Hill,
this multiple betting method is one of several ♨️ bets that is known as a ‘full coverage
multiple bet’ – a kind of insurance should you miss out on ♨️ your Treble.
Crucially, only
one of the selections needs to win in order for a return to be achieved on this ♨️ type of
accumulator because it contains contains single bets.
Therefore, you could back three
horses at relatively long odds and still ♨️ hope to get something back should one win.
That return would, however, be likely to be lower than the initial ♨️ stake.
If you were
to land just three selections, then the potential returns are great.
This Patent bet
can be placed when ♨️ you have three possible outcomes selected and can be placed each
way. The potential returns are great for landing just ♨️ three winning selections.

Potential results
Let’s say ♨️ we’ve backed these events:
Selection 1 – 1/1
Selection 2 –
1/1
Selection 3 – 1/1
Patent bets:
Bet 1 – Selection 1 (single)
Bet 2 ♨️ – Selection 2
(single)
Bet 3 – Selection 3 (single)
Bet 4 – Selection 1 and selection 2 (double)
Bet
5 – Selection ♨️ 1 and selection 3 (double)
Bet 6 – Selection 2 and selection 3
(double)
Bet 7 – Selection 1, selection 2 and ♨️ selection 3 (treble)
For this example we
will imagine we have backed a Patent bet with the three legs all at ♨️ evens (not each
way), we are having £5 per line so a total bet of £35.
If none of the three ♨️ win we will
lose £35. If one leg wins then the return would be £10 representing a £25 overall loss,
♨️ if two bets win then the return would be £40 making a £5 profit. If all three bets come
in ♨️ then the return would be £130 meaning a £95 profit, as you’d expect the return jumps
a lot if you ♨️ get all the results correct.
Odds, Tips and picks | Summary
It can be
tempting to bet blindly but it’s always best ♨️ to stick to what you know, avoid what you
don’t and not to chase losses.
A patent bet is a multiple ♨️ coverage bet built from three
selections, so it might not be beneficial to add short-priced favourites into a
patent.
A Goliath ♨️ bet requires at least two winning selections for a return.
