A single double treble calculator is the quickest way to answer the question every weekend punter asks: three picks I like, so do I back them on their own or tie them together? Above it’s set to a £10 treble on 2/1, 6/4 and 3/1. Switch the bet type at the top to Single or Double and the same prices are settled the other way. It’s free, and nothing to sign up for.
Here’s the same three picks, £10 a bet, done three ways:
- Three singles (£30 staked): all three win and you get £95 back. Two win, still a profit.
- A double on the first two (£10): both win, £75. One loses, nothing.
- A treble (£10): all three win, £300. Any one loses, nothing.
Single double treble calculator: which bet to pick
Singles are the steady option. Each bet stands alone, so one bad result only costs that stake. A double multiplies two prices together, so 6/4 and 2/1 turn into a 13/2 shot. A treble multiplies three. The payout jumps every time you add a leg, and so does the chance that something lets you down.
A rough way to think about it: if you’d be gutted to lose because of one pick you were never sure about, leave that one as a single. Multiples are for picks you’d genuinely be surprised to see lose.
What the calculator handles
Type odds the way you see them, fractional, decimal or American. Set each selection as won, lost, placed or void. A void (a non-runner, a postponed match) drops out at odds of 1.0, so a treble with one void settles as a double, and a double with one becomes a single. Tick each way for racing and it adds the place part at whatever terms you choose.
Prefer a page that’s set up for just one of them? There’s a single bet calculator, a double bet calculator and a treble bet calculator. For four or more legs, use the acca calculator, and for every bet type in one place, the bet calculator.
Doubles and trebles together
Want cover so that two out of three still pays? That’s a Trixie: three doubles plus the treble, four bets in all. Add the three singles and it’s a Patent. Both are in the bet type list, and the Trixie calculator page explains when they’re worth the extra stakes.
Bigger multiples pay more because they lose more often. That’s the whole trade. BeGambleAware.org is free and confidential if it stops being fun.
