Trixie Bet Explained
A Trixie is four bets on three selections: three doubles and one treble. There are no singles in it, so at least two of your selections have to win before it returns anything. The stake you choose applies to each bet, so a £1 Trixie costs £4 in total, and an each-way Trixie costs twice as much. Fortune Games is an online casino and takes no sports bets, so this guide explains how the bet is built and settled.

The four bets inside a Trixie
| Bet type | How many | Winners needed |
|---|---|---|
| Doubles | 3 | 2 |
| Treble | 1 | 3 |
A Trixie is a full-cover bet: it backs every double that three selections can form, plus the treble that links all three. The treble is a three-selection accumulator, so every selection in it must win.
Put a single on each selection as well and the bet becomes a Patent, seven bets that pay from one winner. With four selections and no singles, the full-cover bet is a Yankee of 11 bets; add four singles to that and you have a Lucky 15. Six selections without singles make a Heinz of 57 bets.
What a Trixie costs
Each of the four bets carries your unit stake, so the total is four times that figure: 50p a bet comes to £2, and £5 a bet comes to £20.
Going each-way doubles the count to eight bets. Every bet then has a win part and a place part of the same size, and the two are settled separately, win part with win part and place part with place part. The place part is paid at a fraction of the odds, so a selection that is placed without winning loses its win stake but can still pay through the place side.
A worked example
Take a £1 Trixie placed with a bookmaker, £4 in all, on three selections at evens, 2/1 and 3/1. Fractional odds give the winnings for each £1 staked, and a winner also returns its stake, so £1 comes back as £2 at evens, £3 at 2/1 and £4 at 3/1.
One winner brings nothing back, because every bet in a Trixie needs at least two. If the evens and 2/1 selections win, their double pays £6: the £2 from evens is carried on at 2/1. That is £2 more than the £4 staked. If the 2/1 and 3/1 selections are the two winners instead, their double pays £12.
If all three win, every bet pays: £6, £8 and £12 from the three doubles and £24 from the treble, £50 in total.
Trixie, treble or Patent?
On the same three selections, a single treble costs £1 and pays only when all three win. A Trixie costs four times as much and also pays when any two of the three win. A Patent costs seven times as much, and its singles add a return when just one selection wins. Each step covers more results for a bigger total stake.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Trixie bet?
It is a full-cover multiple for three selections. Bookmakers settle it as four separate bets at the same unit stake, three doubles and a treble, and each of the four is paid or lost on its own.
How many winners does a Trixie need to pay out?
Two. With two winners, the double that joins them pays and the other three bets lose. With three winners, all four bets pay. A lone winner returns nothing, which is the main difference from a Patent.
What is an each-way Trixie?
It is two Trixies on the same three selections, one for the win and one for the place, so eight bets at twice the cost. Because each-way multiples are settled place to place, the place doubles can pay when two selections are placed, even if neither of them wins.
