What is a Gyroscope Bet?
A Gyroscope bet consists of all 10 possible doubles from 5 selections. At least 2 selections must win for any return. It is a simpler, lower-stake alternative to a Canadian.
Breakdown
- 10 × Doubles (every possible pair: AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE, DE)
- Total: 10 bets
Why Choose a Gyroscope?
At only 10 bets, the Gyroscope costs less than half a Canadian (26 bets) while still covering every possible pairing. You sacrifice trebles, four-folds, and the five-fold, meaning lower potential returns but lower risk too.
Example
$2 Gyroscope on 5 selections all at 2.00 (total stake: $20):
- If all 5 win: 10 doubles × $8 each = $80 (profit $60)
- If 3 win: 3 winning doubles × $8 = $24 (profit $4)
- If 2 win: 1 winning double = $8 (loss of $12)
