How to use the Patent calculator
- Enter your stake per bet (the unit stake), not the total.
- Tick each way if you backed each bet to win and place, and choose the place terms.
- Enter each selection's odds and result: won, placed, lost or void.
How a Patent pays out
Each bet inside the Patent multiplies the decimal odds of its selections. A losing selection kills every bet it's in; a void selection counts as odds of 1.00 and drops out. If only the 3/1 shot wins, the single returns £4 from a £1 unit stake, against a £7 outlay.
Bookmakers sometimes add bonuses to full-cover bets. Those vary, so the return here is before any bonus.
