Full Cover Bets

A Full Cover bet is one accumulator bet which has been split into smaller bets that cover much more possibilities.

What does this mean? For example, if you choose three selections in your bet, all three of them have to be correct for you to get a return. In a full cover bet you split the bet up. What this means is that you have a much higher chance of getting a return: even if part of your bet is correct, you can win on it. However, if you win ALL of your selections, generally you will win less than if you put your selections on a single bet.

Full Cover bets are so called because they cover all available multiple bets over a given number of selections. Some include singles as well. And they normally come with specific names: A Trixie is four bets using three selections. A Patent is the same as a Trixie but also includes all the single bets. A Yankee covers four selections, whereas a Canadian (or a Super Yankee) uses five selections. A Heinz is so called because there are 57 different bets. The baked bean manufacturer Heinz used to advertise 57 different varieties, hence, a Heinz, which is based on six selections. The Goliath - our biggest current offering - goes up to 247 different bets.

To see some examples of the Full Cover bets we offer, and how they pan out, check out below. All of these bets are calculated on the basis of a 10,000 UShs bet. Click on the bet name for more details using an example.

Name	Selections you make	Total Types of Bets	Total Number of Bets	Stake/Bet
Trixie	3	3 Doubles and 1 Triple	4	2,500
Patent	3	3 Singles, 3 Doubles and 1 Triple	7	1,429
Yankee	4	6 Doubles, 4 Triples, and 1 Four-fold	11	909
Lucky15	4	4 Singles, 6 Doubles, 4 Triples, and 1 Four-fold	15	667
Canadian	5	10 Doubles, 10 Triples, 5 Four-folds, and 1 Five-fold	26	385
Lucky31	5	5 Singles, 10 Doubles, 10 Triples, 5 Four-folds and 1 Five-fold	31	323
Heinz	6	15 Doubles, 20 Triples, 15 Four-folds, 6 Five-folds, 1 Six-fold	57	175
Lucky63	6	6 Singles, 15 Doubles, 20 Triples, 15 Four-folds, 6 Five-folds, 1 Six-fold	63	159
SuperHeinz	7	21 Doubles, 35 Triples, 35 Four-folds, 21-Five folds, 7 Six-folds and 1 Seven-fold	120	83
Goliath	8	28 Doubles, 56 Triples, 70 Four-folds, 56 Five-folds, 28 Six-folds, 8 Seven-folds, 1 Eight-fold	247	40

 

Example: A Patent

For example, you choose:

Selection			Price
Montedio Yamagata v V-Varen Nagasaki	Odd - Even Goal	Even	1.80
Zhetysu Taldykorgan v Ordabasy	Half-Time Full-Time	Home-Draw	12.00
Lech Poznan v Lechia Gdansk	Asian (Draw No Bet)	Home Win	1.30

 

As a straightforward accumulator this has a final price of 28.08, which will return you 280,800 UShs on a 10,000 USh bet. Pretty good. However, if you get one selection wrong, you get nothing.

As a Patent, it looks like this:

Selections	Price	Stake	Maximum Return
Montedio Yamagata: Odd - Even Goal - Even	1.8	1,429	2,571
Zhetysu Taldykorgan: Half-Time Full-Time - Home-Draw	12	1,429	17,143
Zhetysu Taldykorgan: Half-Time Full-Time - Home-Draw and Montedio Yamagata: Odd - Even Goal - Even	21.6	1,429	30,857
Lech Poznan: Asian (Draw No Bet) - Home Win	1.3	1,429	1,857
Lech Poznan: Asian (Draw No Bet) - Home Win and Montedio Yamagata: Odd - Even Goal - Even	2.34	1,429	3,343
Lech Poznan: Asian (Draw No Bet) - Home Win and Zhetysu Taldykorgan: Half-Time Full-Time - Home-Draw	15.6	1,429	22,286
Lech Poznan: Asian (Draw No Bet) - Home Win and Zhetysu Taldykorgan: Half-Time Full-Time - Home-Draw and Montedio Yamagata: Odd - Even Goal - Even	28.08	1,429	40,114

 

Like this, if you get everything right you get a return of 118,171. This is not as much as above as we have split the stake across separate bets, at 1,429 UShs each. But, if you get, say, the first selection Montedio Yamagata: Odd - Even Goal - Even wrong you will still get a total return of 41,286. In fact with this bet you will definitely get something back if you get only one selection correct.
