A single bet is when you pick the outcome of one event. You can win the odds multiplied by your wager. You can make a series of single bets using the ‘Single’ tab at the top of the betting slip.
A combination bet is a bet that depends on the outcome of more than one event – you can add up to 12.
If you select 8 events the ‘Combinations’ tab will allow you to make an eightfold bet. This is an accumulator and you need to have predicted every event correctly to get a return. If you win, your stake will be multiplied by the total odds of the 8 events.
The ‘Systems’ tab will list all the different combination bets available within your 8 selections. You can then bet on them but remember – your stake is multiplied by the number of possible outcomes. So if you wanted to bet ‘sixfolds’ (combinations of 6), your stake would be multiplied by 28, as that's how many winning combinations of 6 are possible within your 8 selections.
A Trixie is when you select 3 events and place 4 bets – 3 doubles and 1 treble. A Yankee is when you select 4 events and place 11 bets – 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 fourfold.
When you make a system bet you can also select bankers. These are events where you’re very confident of the result so you want to include them in every combination. Only combinations containing the banker will be placed and the banker must win for you to get any returns.
