Full Cover Bets
This article is an attempt to underscore the value to UK bookies and punters of the relative significance of Full Cover Bets. I’m a horseracing and football fan through and through. What I love more than watching those fine fillies/steeds and footy players on the track is actually placing money on them and winning big payouts. There are both popular and traditional bets listed, as well as multiple selections. Full cover bets cover the broad spread of betting options and this is how we roll.
Full Cover Betting options
There are several betting options including my personal favourites – multiple bets. These include Trixies (wagers on 3 selections with 4 separate bets (such bets include 3 doubles + a treble) Note that in this type of bet an absolute minimum of 2 selections must win to provide a positive return on the principle bet. I know this may sound a little strange to you, but there are bets called Yankee bets. This is essentially a wager placed on 4 selections and it consists of 11 separate bets. These are comprised of 6 doubles, 4 trebles and the inimitable four-fold accumulator. At the very minimum 2 selections must be winners in order to cash out.
Other popular types of full cover bets:
- Super Yankee bets (also known as Canadians) are quick-fire wagers on 5 selections with 26 separate bets. Again 2 selections must produce winners to effect a payout.
- Heinz and Super Heinz bets – nothing to do with ketchup but they are bets on 6 and 7 selections respectively. The former consists of 57 separate bets while the latter consists of 120 separate bets. Incidentally the 57 varieties is from the H.J. Heinz Company’s advertising slogan. In both instances, 2 selections must win in order to produce a return.
- Patent bets are placed on 3 selections with 7 separate bets. It’s only necessary for 1 winning selection to guarantee a payout
- Goliath bets are placed on 8 selections and there are a whopping – or GOLIATH – 247 separate bets. In order to cash up you will need to hit a minimum of 2 selections.
Other options available to punters include the following: Lucky 15 bets (4 selections and 15 separate bets. It’s the same as a Yankee plus 4 singles); Lucky 31 bets (wagers on 31 separate bets and it’s the same as a Canadian plus 5 single bets); Lucky 63 bets (wagers on 6 selections with 63 separate bets – only 1 is needed to guarantee a return) and an Alphabet ( 6 selections on greyhound or horse racing bets. It’s necessary for at least 1 correct selection to provide returns). In all cases the punters are playing their hearts out – pushing for massive paydays based on the results of multiple bets. Enjoy the punting folks
