Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Patent?

A Patent is 7 bets on 3 selections: 3 singles, 3 doubles, and 1 treble. With singles included, a single winner guarantees a return.

Patent versus Trixie?

A Patent adds the 3 singles a Trixie lacks, making it 7 bets rather than 4. Upside: one winner guarantees a return. Downside: a higher total stake.

Is a Patent worth placing?

Patents cover you well because a single winner pays out. They work best with higher-odds selections, where the singles returns can cover the full stake off just one winner.
