What is a Fivespot Bet?

A Fivespot consists of 10 trebles plus 5 singles from 5 selections — 15 bets total. It covers all possible treble combinations and includes singles as a safety net.

Breakdown

  • 5 × Singles
  • 10 × Trebles (all C(5,3) combinations)
  • Total: 15 bets

Fivespot vs Canadian

A Canadian has 26 bets (doubles, trebles, four-folds, five-fold). A Fivespot focuses only on trebles and singles, skipping doubles and higher folds. This gives you a different risk profile — you need 3+ winners for the treble returns but only 1 for the singles.

Example

$1 Fivespot (total stake: $15) on 5 selections all at 2.50:

  • If all 5 win: 5 singles ($12.50) + 10 trebles ($156.25) = $168.75
  • If 3 win: 3 singles ($7.50) + 1 treble ($15.63) = $23.13
  • If 1 wins: 1 single = $2.50
