question about multis

[stampy]

have taken a 3 leg standard multi and was wondering what the trixie and patent options are, trixie gives me 4 combos and patent 7, i dont get it, can someone explain it please?

[Mr_Willy]

Takes each alternative...

So with 3 horses a trixie puts on 4 bets... The 3 leg multi and every combination of the 3 horses in doubles so three doubles...

The patent is the same except it also backs each leg straight out..

Hope that makes sense!!!

[stampy]

cheers willy i get it now and will be using the patent in future cos i usually back them as singles and this will cover all my bases

[Mr_Willy]

They are a good way to do it.

Sportingbet I know offer them but I don't like the way they do it as you have to have the same amount on each combo.

I like the way Centrebet and UniTAB that I know of do it - you can put different amounts on each combo - like say $10 on each one, $5 on each double and $2 on the treble....

finally i cn ask this question....


if i had a multi on the afl which involved saints for the win, they were paying $1.25.
does the saints value in that multi become $1 or half the $1.25?

Was the draw an option?

[Johno6]

before when ive bet on a win and theres been a draw ive got money back but i dont think ive done it on a team paying under $2.
usually i get half divvie. not sure how it works here...

Well the multi I posted in the AFL Rd 2 thread which Port Power ruined had St Kilda in it and that was listed as a Winning Leg. This was at Sportsbet too and draw is an option there. It is a shame the Power screwed it because I was interested to see what the St Kilda odds in the multi would have been, I had already written it off as a loss Friday night anyway.

[Johno6]

i just multied 5 of the dead set favs... i thought saints were a monty!
just curious as to wether it would be a collect and if so how much, guess ill find out when i check tonight

[Brodlach]

I would have thought if the draw was an option you would lose unless it was a head to head bet then you would get half of $1.25 (ie $0.625)

[Johno6]

i just did 5 H2H in a multi.
i just wasnt sure how they would pay the saints.. ill take 1.125 rather than the 60cents i think im gonna get haha then my multi sucks

[mighty_tiger_79]

i think you get half back, even if the draw is an option

[Johno6]

so 60cents?

[Mr_Willy]

It will be a refund.... Most H2H markets don't incorporate the Draw as an option.... The Draw is normally a separate market....

Pretty sure Sportsbet don't offer the Draw in their H2H markets....

@ Brodlach - just like when there is a dead heat in racing - half dividend of anything $2 or under is $1...

[Johno6]

For those interested I only got half divvi.
So I must of only got the 60 cents for saints. Is that right

[Mr_Willy]

That can't be right Johno.... You would've got $1 I am sure of it... When horses or dogs or trots dead head and they are $1.50 or whatever it is always $1.00 it pays....

[Johno6]

I'll try post a photo of the ticket at work tomorro.
But yeah they gave me half the 1.25. Dodge as

Show us if you can mate!!! No way it shouldve been 60c... You didn't lose!

Im sure if horses dead heat as an odds on pop u get half of there winning divi - so a $1.60 pop pays 80c the win.

Every dead heat, results in the total payout being halved - no exception.

[CoverKing]

Boys, i had a multi as well involving Saints H2H.

Simply get half of the dividend, so if you were expecting a $150 payout and the draw occured, you get $75. Happened to me this weekend aswell
