How to Use This Calculator

  1. Set your unit stake
  2. Drop in odds for all 6 selections (position matters — selections 2-5 feed into more of the bet components)
  3. Tag each selection as won, lost, or void
  4. Get your total return plus a profit breakdown by component

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

What exactly is an Alphabet bet?

The Alphabet is a 26-bet wager built on 6 selections. It stacks two patents (one across selections 1-3, one across 4-6), a yankee (across selections 2-5), and a six-fold accumulator spanning every selection.

Why does selection position matter in an Alphabet?

Selections 2 through 5 sit inside both the patent and yankee components, so they feed into more individual bets. Slotting your strongest picks into those spots pushes your potential returns higher.

What's the cost of an Alphabet bet?

An Alphabet runs you 26 × your unit stake. At $1 per unit, that’s a $26 total outlay.

Can a single winning selection still pay on an Alphabet?

Yes. The patents bake in singles, so one winning selection can hand back some profit — though across the full 26-bet outlay you’d most likely still end up down overall.
