How it works
- Every combination of your 3 selections is a separate bet: 3 doubles and 1 treble, 4 in total.
- Each bet returns your unit stake multiplied by the decimal odds of every selection in it. One losing leg makes that bet lose; a void or non-runner leg counts as odds of 1.0.
- Each-way doubles the stake to 8 bets: the place part settles every placed or winning selection at the place fraction of the odds (for example 1/4 odds a place).
Worked examples
All 3 win at 2/1, £1 stakes
Return £54.00 from a £4.00 outlay, profit £50.00.
2 of 3 win at 2/1
Return £9.00 for £4.00 staked, so a profit of £5.00.
1 of 3 wins at 5/1
No return: with one winner every Trixie bet has a losing leg, so the whole £4.00 is lost.
