A Patent consists of 7 bets on 3 selections:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Patent bet?

A Patent is a system bet made up of 7 bets on 3 selections: 3 singles, 3 doubles, and 1 treble. Since singles are included, even one winner is enough to guarantee a return.

What's the difference between a Patent and a Trixie?

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

Is a Patent a good bet to place?

Patents give you solid coverage because one winner already returns something. They shine when your selections carry higher odds, since the singles returns can then cover the whole stake even with just one winner.
