Every multiple bet is trying to do the same thing: combine several selections in order to improve your potential payout or protect your stake if things don\u2019t go as planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>patent bet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sits at the beginner\u2011friendly end of this spectrum. It covers all possible single, double and treble combinations of three selections, giving you seven separate bets in just one stake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because you\u2019re not relying on all of your picks winning, a patent is a good compromise between a straight treble (which can bust with one loser) and a safer, but less rewarding, single. It offers full cover with singles and, as we\u2019ll see, that small insurance policy is its unique selling point.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What Is a Patent Bet?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>patent bet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a type of multiple wager with <\/span><b>three selections<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (usually written as A, B and C) and <\/span><b>seven individual bets<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The seven bets are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Three singles:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each selection on its own (A, B and C).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Three doubles:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each pair of selections combined (AB, AC and BC).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>One treble:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> one bet on all three together (ABC).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because you have three singles in the mix, <\/span><b>you get a return if any one of your selections wins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That return may not always cover your entire stake (remember the stake is multiplied by seven because you\u2019re placing seven bets), but it does give you some breathing room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Pros<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Cons<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if just one of your selections wins, you\u2019ll get a payout (thanks to the singles)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more that win, the bigger the return<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it\u2019s 7 bets in one, your stake multiplies.

The diagram below shows how the seven bets are formed: each vertex represents a single bet, each edge is a double and the centre represents the treble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Say you place a <\/span><b>\u00a31 patent bet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (so \u00a37 total, because it\u2019s 7 bets).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your three selections are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A to win at 2\/1<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>B to win at 3\/1<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>C to win at 5\/2<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>One winner<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If only selection A wins, the single bet on A pays out. The two doubles involving A (AB and AC) and the treble (ABC) lose, as do the other singles and the remaining double (BC). You get some money back thanks to that one winning single, but whether you make a profit depends on the odds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our scenario, if only A wins:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You get a <\/span><b>\u00a33 return<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything else loses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Total return: \u00a33 (loss of \u00a34 overall)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Two winners<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If A and B both win while C loses, you cash in three bets: the single on A, the single on B and the double AB. You still lose the treble and the other doubles (AC and BC) because they contain the losing C. At modest odds this scenario will typically see a modest profit or break\u2011even.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Formula to calculate double winnings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: stake x first winner x second winner<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our scenario, if A and B both win:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single on A = \u00a33<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single on B = \u00a34<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double on A+B = \u00a312<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything else loses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Total return: \u00a319 (profit of \u00a312 overall)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>All three winners<\/h3>\n<p><b>This is the dream outcome<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Still, you can go home with a very good return on your patent bet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Patent Bet vs Other Bet Types<\/h2>\n<h3>Patent vs Trixie<\/h3>\n<p><b>What it is:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3 doubles + 1 treble (no singles)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Stake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4x your unit stake (\u00a31 trixie = \u00a34)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Pros:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cheaper than a patent. Profitable if 2+ win<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Cons:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If only 1 wins, you get <\/span><b>nothing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> back<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/trixie-bet-guide\/\"><b>trixie<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses the same three selections as the patent but includes <\/span><b>four<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bets: three doubles and one treble. A patent is essentially a <\/span><b>trixie + the three singles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can choose a trixie over a patent when your selections are short\u2011priced favourites. In such cases a trixie cuts costs by removing the singles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Patent vs Treble<\/h3>\n<p><b>What it is:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Just the all-in threefold accumulator<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Stake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1x your unit stake<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Pros:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cheapest, and highest odds when it lands<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Cons:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Brutal. All 3 must win, or you lose<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>treble<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a simple accumulator of three selections: all must win to get paid. The allure is that a treble offers a much higher payout for a small stake because odds multiply together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, <\/span><b>it only takes one loser to wipe out the entire bet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A patent uses the same treble but surrounds it with singles and doubles to mitigate that risk. The treble instead is high-risk, high-reward. The pure gambler\u2019s choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Patent vs Accumulator (Acca)<\/h3>\n<p><b>What it is:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Any bet with 4+ selections<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Stake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1x your unit stake<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Pros:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sky-high returns if all win<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Cons:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One loser kills the whole bet<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/how-do-football-accumulator-bets-work\/\"><b>Accumulators <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">combine multiple selections into a single bet. They promise huge returns but are brittle: one bad result sinks the whole ship. It&#8217;s definitely a risky bet, especially if you increase the number of selections.
