The objective of a 'Double' bet is to successfully pick out two winning selections across two different races on the same bet and stake, and in this case, you require both selections to win in order to achieve a return. A double bet is the most simple and straightforward multiple bet available.

For example, if the odds were 8/1 and 9/1, a double bet would increase them to 9/1 and 10/1, leading to a double bet odds of 89/1 (9 multiplied by 10 is 90 and 89+1=90). The returns would then be calculated using this number based around the stake the bettor originally placed. Applying this to a real world example, a bettor may wish to place a double bet on the results of Newcastle v Everton and Watford v Fulham. They believe that Everton will beat Newcastle at odds of 5/1 and that Watford will beat Fulham at odds of 6/1. If the stake was £2 and both of these results were to come in, the bettor would make £84, a profit of £82 from that original £2 stake. These winnings can be compared with those that would be made on two isolated single bets to understand the differences between singles and doubles. A £2 stake on the Everton v Newcastle game would return a sum of £12. The same stake on the Watford match would return a total of £14. The total winnings would therefore be just £26, which is a significant drop from the £84 made on the double bet.

Read More »In a treble bet, a bettor is placing three selections are made on three events with three times the odds. In other words, a third match would be added to the Everton and Watford games and if the bettor were to select the correct winner from that game (and the Everton and Watford matches were to go in their favour as well) they would make a return. In a trixie bet, the bettor also makes three selections, but there are four bets being made. This is because a trixie bet is made up of three doubles and one treble that have been brought together under one. The Trixie bet offers a little security to the bettor because even if one of these bets fails, the bet is still won.
A high spread means there is a large difference between the bid and the ask price. Emerging market currency pairs generally have a high spread...
