Formula
An Alphabet bet on 6 selections consists of:
- Patent on selections 1,2,3 (7 bets): 3 singles + 3 doubles + 1 treble
- Patent on selections 4,5,6 (7 bets): 3 singles + 3 doubles + 1 treble
- Yankee on selections 2,3,4,5 (11 bets): 6 doubles + 4 trebles + 1 four-fold
- Six-fold accumulator on all 6 (1 bet) Total: 26 bets
Selections 2-5 feature in both the patents and the yankee, so they generate larger returns. Place your strongest picks in positions 2-5.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is an Alphabet bet structured?
An Alphabet is a 26-bet wager spanning 6 selections. It is built from two patents (one on selections 1-3, one on selections 4-6), a yankee on selections 2-5, and a single six-fold accumulator covering all selections.
Why does the order of selections matter in an Alphabet?
Selections 2 to 5 are present in both the patent and yankee components, meaning they feed into a larger count of bets. Assigning your highest-confidence picks to these slots optimizes potential returns.
What is the total cost of an Alphabet bet?
An Alphabet requires 26 × your unit stake. With a $1 unit, total outlay comes to $26.
Can a single winning selection return a profit on an Alphabet?
Yes. Because the patents contribute singles to the Alphabet, one winning selection can yield some return — though across the full 26-bet outlay you would most likely still finish at a net loss.
