System Bets Explained

How system bets work. Cover multiple outcomes with adjusted stakes for safer betting.

What Are System Bets?

A system bet lets you cover multiple combinations within your selections. Unlike an accumulator where ALL picks must win, system bets pay out if a minimum number of selections win. For example, a 2/3 system with 3 selections creates 3 separate doubles — you profit if any 2 out of 3 win.

Common System Bet Types

Trixie (3 selections): 4 bets — 3 doubles + 1 treble.
Patent (3 selections): 7 bets — 3 singles + 3 doubles + 1 treble.
Yankee (4 selections): 11 bets — 6 doubles + 4 trebles + 1 fourfold.
Lucky 15 (4 selections): 15 bets — 4 singles + 6 doubles + 4 trebles + 1 fourfold.
System bets cost more (multiple stakes) but provide insurance against one wrong pick.

When to Use System Bets

Use system bets when you have 3-4 strong AI picks (65%+ confidence) but want protection against one upset. The reduced risk comes at the cost of lower maximum returns compared to a straight accumulator. Scout AI's Ticket Builder helps you visualize your combined probability and potential returns.
