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.

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

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
Varbergs BoIS v IFK Goteborg	Handicap (1:0)	Home Win	1.60
Mjondalen v Stabaek	1st Half Goal Under/Over (1.5)	Under	1.29
Deportivo Tachira v Madeira Club Lara	Goal Under/Over (2.5)	Over	1.55

 

As a straightforward accumulator this has a final price of 3.20, which will return you 31,992 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
Varbergs BoIS: Handicap (1:0) - Home Win	1.6	1,429	2,286
Mjondalen: 1st Half Goal Under/Over (1.5) - Under	1.29	1,429	1,843
Mjondalen: 1st Half Goal Under/Over (1.5) - Under and Varbergs BoIS: Handicap (1:0) - Home Win	2.06	1,429	2,943
Deportivo Tachira: Goal Under/Over (2.5) - Over	1.55	1,429	2,214
Deportivo Tachira: Goal Under/Over (2.5) - Over and Varbergs BoIS: Handicap (1:0) - Home Win	2.48	1,429	3,543
Deportivo Tachira: Goal Under/Over (2.5) - Over and Mjondalen: 1st Half Goal Under/Over (1.5) - Under	2	1,429	2,857
Deportivo Tachira: Goal Under/Over (2.5) - Over and Mjondalen: 1st Half Goal Under/Over (1.5) - Under and Varbergs BoIS: Handicap (1:0) - Home Win	3.2	1,429	4,571

 

Like this, if you get everything right you get a return of 20,257. 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 Varbergs BoIS: Handicap (1:0) - Home Win wrong you will still get a total return of 6,914. In fact with this bet you will definitely get something back if you get only one selection correct.
