Bet types explained

Single

A Single Bet is a stake placed on a single selection outcome and only produces a return if it wins.

How to calculate a Single Bet

If your bet wins at odds of 7/2 with a €10 stake, multiply your stake by the numerator (7), then divide by the denominator (2), and add your stake back.

Example: €10 × 7 = €70 ÷ 2 = €35 + €10 stake = €45 total return

Double

A Double is a single bet across two selections. Both selections must win to generate a return. If the first selection wins, the returns are rolled over as the stake for the second selection. Both selections must be from separate events.

How to calculate a Double Bet

Example with a €10 stake:

  • Bet 1 at 3/1: €10 × 3 + €10 = €40 return.

  • Bet 2 at 2/1 using €40 as stake: €40 × 2 + €40 = €120 total return.

Treble

A Treble is a single bet across three selections. All three must win to generate a return. If the first selection wins, the returns roll on as the stake for the second, and so on.

Example with a €10 stake:

  • Bet 1 at 3/1: €40 return

  • Bet 2 at 2/1 using €40: €120 return

  • Bet 3 at 3/1 using €120: €480 total return

Accumulator

An Accumulator consists of four or more selections from different events. All selections must win to generate a return. It is often named after the number of selections, for example Four-Fold, Five-Fold, Six-Fold.

How to calculate an Accumulator Bet

Example with a €10 stake across a Four-Fold:

  • Bet 1 at 3/1: €40 return

  • Bet 2 at 2/1 using €40: €120 return

  • Bet 3 at 3/1 using €120: €480 return

  • Bet 4 at 3/1 using €480: €1,920 total return
