What is a Patent Bet?
A Patent is a full cover bet with singles from 3 selections: 3 singles, 3 doubles, and 1 treble — 7 bets total. Only 1 selection needs to win for any return.

Patent vs Trixie
A Trixie has 4 bets (no singles, needs 2+ winners). A Patent adds 3 singles for 7 bets total. The extra cost provides the safety net of returns from just 1 winner.
Example
$1 Patent on A (2.00), B (3.00), C (4.00). Total stake: $7.
- If all 3 win: 3 singles ($9) + 3 doubles ($26) + treble ($24) = $59 (profit $52)
- If 2 win (A and B): 2 singles ($5) + 1 double ($6) = $11 (profit $4)
- If 1 wins (C at 4.00): $4 from the single (loss of $3)
The Patent is ideal when you like 3 selections but want insurance against only 1 or 2 winning.
