What is a Poly Bet?
A Poly bet is a combination wager from 6 selections using doubles, trebles, and four-folds. It offers partial coverage at a much lower cost than a full Heinz (57 bets).
Breakdown
The Poly selects specific combinations rather than all possible ones, typically around 10 bets from the available doubles, trebles, and four-folds. The exact structure varies by bookmaker.
Poly vs Heinz
A Heinz covers all 57 combinations from 6 selections. A Poly selectively picks around 10, dramatically reducing stake while accepting that some winning combinations will not be covered.
Example
$2 Poly from 6 selections (approx. 10 bets, $20 stake):
- If 4+ selections win at decent odds: Good returns from the covered combinations
- The risk is that your winners might fall in uncovered combinations
