What is an Arkle Bet?

Named after the legendary racehorse, an Arkle bet consists of 30 bets from 4 selections. It combines multiple permutations of patents and conditional bets for broad coverage.

Breakdown

  • 4 × Singles
  • 6 × Doubles
  • 4 × Trebles
  • 1 × Four-fold
  • 6 × SSA conditional pairs (12 bets)
  • 3 × Round The Clock chains
  • Total: 30 bets

Arkle vs Lucky 15

A Lucky 15 has 15 bets from 4 selections. An Arkle doubles this to 30 by adding SSA pairs and RTC chains on top of the full cover bets. The additional conditional bets provide returns even when only 1 selection wins.

Example

$1 Arkle (total stake: $30) on 4 selections at 2.50 each:

  • If all 4 win: Combined returns from Lucky 15 bets + conditionals ≈ $280+
  • If 1 wins: Single return + conditional chain returns ≈ modest return
