How the Patent Calculator Works
A Patent is a full-cover bet on 3 selections made up of 7 bets: 3 singles, 3 doubles and 1 treble. Because it includes the singles, you get a return even if only one selection wins.
The 7 bets
- 3 singles — one on each selection
- 3 doubles — every pair
- 1 treble — all three
Worked example
A $1 Patent (total stake $7) on three selections at 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00 that all win returns $59 ($52 profit). If only one wins, that single still pays.
