With these you have multiple selections (for example a Yankee has four) and you cover the various doubles, trebles and, in this case, a fourfold. In addition to these simple multiples you also have various combination bets. As well as being called multiple bets, these are also known as accumulators.
After the first horse wins you effectively have £3 (£1 stake plus £2 profit) on the second horse at evens, resulting in a payout of £6 and profit of £5.Ī treble is the same concept but with three selections. A £1 double would cost you £1 and if both horses deliver you would get £6 back. There are numerous different types of multiple bet.Ī double involves backing two separate events, for example one horse to win the 1pm at Cheltenham (hypothetically at 2/1) and another horse to win the 4pm at Newbury (at evens).
