Patent FAQ
What is the difference between a Patent and a Trixie?
The Patent adds three singles to the Trixie's three doubles and treble: seven bets instead of four.
How many winners do I need to break even?
It depends on the odds. With longer prices, two winners usually put you in profit.
Can I put a Patent on the same match?
No. The three selections must come from different events.
What if I have four selections?
Use a Lucky 15, the four-selection version with singles.
