Breakdown

  • 8 × Singles
  • 28 × Doubles
  • 56 × Trebles
  • 70 × Four-folds
  • 56 × Five-folds
  • 28 × Six-folds
  • 8 × Seven-folds
  • 1 × Eight-fold
  • Total: 255 bets

Example

$1 stakes (total: $255). If 4 of 8 win at 3.00 each:

  • 4 singles: 4 × $3 = $12
  • 6 doubles: 6 × $9 = $54
  • 4 trebles: 4 × $27 = $108
  • 1 four-fold: $81
  • Total: $255 — exactly break even with 4 winners at 3.00!

This illustrates why odds matter so much with full cover bets. At odds of 2.00, you would need more winners to break even; at 4.00, fewer.
