Doubles and trebles

A double is one bet on two horses in different races, and both must win. A treble is the same with three. The returns from the first leg roll onto the next.

How the return is worked out

Multiply the decimal odds together. A £1 double at 3/1 and 5/1 is £1 × 4 × 6, which returns £24.

Each-way doubles

An each-way double is two doubles: one to win and one to place. The same two horses at £1 each way, with a fifth the odds, return £24 from the win double and £3.20 from the place double if both win: £27.20 from £2. If both only place, you still get the £3.20.

Several doubles at once

Picking four horses and covering all six doubles means only two of them need to land. It's how our multis are built.
