What is a Trixie?
A Trixie is a full-cover bet on three selections, combined into 4 bets: 3 doubles and 1 treble. There are no singles, so you need at least two winners for any return.
It's the smallest of the classic full-cover bets — a low-cost way to back three selections with the extra kick of compounding their odds. Want a single winner to pay out too? That's a Patent, which adds the three singles.

Worked example
Three selections, all at odds of 3.00, with a €1 unit stake (€4 total). If all three win:
- 3 doubles × €9 = €27
- 1 treble × €27 = €27
- Total return = €54, a €50 profit on your €4 stake.
With only two winners you'd still collect the single double they form — tap a selection to Lost and the calculator shows exactly what's left.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a Trixie bet?
- A Trixie is a bet on three selections combined into 4 bets: 3 doubles and 1 treble. It has no singles, so you need at least two selections to win before any return.
- How many bets are in a Trixie?
- 4 bets. A EUR1 unit stake costs EUR4 in total (4 x EUR1).
- How many winners do I need in a Trixie?
- At least two. With no singles, one winner returns nothing - two winners complete one double, and all three complete all three doubles plus the treble.
- What is the difference between a Trixie and a Patent?
- Both use three selections. A Patent adds the three singles, making 7 bets, so one winner already returns money. A Trixie has 4 bets (no singles) and needs two winners - cheaper, but with no single-winner safety net.
- Is a Trixie better than three singles?
- They do different jobs. Three singles pay on each winner independently; a Trixie only pays with two or more winners but compounds their odds through the doubles and treble, giving a bigger return when your picks come in together.
- Can I do an each-way Trixie?
- Yes - an each-way Trixie is 8 bets (4 for the win, 4 for the place), costing twice the unit stake. This calculator shows the win part.
