As part of our betting guide series, We will explain to you what it is, how it works, and give an example to help clear things up.

What is a Trixie Bet?

When a punter comes across the words "Trixie bet" for the first time, they usually ask the following question, "What is it?" Well, luckily, that is pretty simple to explain. A Trixie bet is a wager that is made up of four bets (three doubles and one treble) from 3 different sporting events. This type of bet has been around for hundreds of years and can be used when betting on a variety of sports. When it comes to system bets, a Trixie bet is actually one of the easiest to get to grips with as the number of combinations and number of events is the smallest.

A Trixie bet, explained as simply as possible, is three selections that have been combined four times, meaning that there are four stakes per bet. Therefore, if we went ahead and place a €3 bet, the total stake of our bet would be €12. To see any type of return, you need to get at least two selections right.

How Exactly Does a Trixie Bet Work?

There are two basic rules when it comes to Trixie betting and these are:

1. You are not allowed to bet on multiple outcomes from the same event
2. You are not allowed to bet on events from different sports

So, this means that you cannot, for example, bet on what the correct score will be in a football game and then bet on how many corners there will be in the same game. Once again, please keep in mind that the stake that you enter on the betting slip will always be multiplied by four, so place your stake accordingly.

An Example of a Trixie Bet

Let's take three games from the English Premier League. Considering that a Trixie bet is made up of four bets on three games, we will put down €5 per bet, for a stake of €20.

The games that we have chosen are:

• Everton v Manchester United (2 and odds of 1.83)
• Chelsea v Leicester (1 and odds of 1.85)
• Leeds v Aston Villa (x and odds of 3.20)

If these matches are played and, for example, Manchester United won and Aston Villa drew, while Leicester won, we will have got two predictions right. In this scenario, our winnings would be as follows: 5 x 3.20 x 1.83 = €29.28. Therefore, as we staked €20, we would be making a profit of €9.28. As you can see, we are still making a profit even with a bit of our bet losing. If everything that we predict comes in, then the profits will look a lot better:

• Three winning double bets = €75.81
• One winning treble bet = €54.17

Therefore, if everything comes in, the overall winnings would be €129.98, for a total profit of €109.98. If this was to happen, we would have more than quadrupled our initial stake.
