These bets are outlined below.

  • Patent (3 selections) – 7 separate bets (3 doubles, a treble and 3 single bets) total cost to a $1 unit stake is $7
  • Lucky 15 (4 selections) – 15 separate bets (4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and a 4-fold acca) total cost to a $1 unit stake is $15
  • Lucky 31 (5 selections) – 31 separate bets (5 singles, 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 fourfolds and a 5-fold acca), total cost to a $1 unit stake is $31
  • Lucky 63 (6 selections) – 63 separate bets (6 singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, 6 fivefolds and a 6-fold acca) total cost to a $1 unit stake is $63
