What Is an Alphabet Bet?

An Alphabet bet can best be described as a combination of two different systems – the Yankee and a Patent bet. It is named after the alphabet, as it consists of 26 different bets. With an Alphabet wager, youꦜ will have 2 patents (or 14 bets), 1 Yankee (11 bets) plus a standard six-fold accumulator (which contributes 1 bet).

When placing an Alphabet bet, remember that your winnings are multiplied by the number of bets to cover all 26 bets. So, by placing a £2 stake on a bet, you would end up wagering £52.

If you deconstruct this bet into its individual components, it will seem much less daunting when you come to place a wager. In fact, it may not look as com🐻plicated as you may think. Let's take a closer look below.

How Do Alphabet Bets Work?

Once you have established what an Alphabet bet is, then you will need to figure ou🎃t the six selections you want to include for your wager. Selections will be numbered from one to six, and some will be weighted differentlꦍy.

The closest thing the Alphabet bet resembles is the Heinz bet. With the Heinz bet, you can put money on🐠 six selections; however, there are 57 bets in total in play. To take apart the Alphabet bet, it is best to look more closely at the parts of the Alphabet betting system that we have already touched upon:

Patent Bets

A Patent bet combines a bet involving three selections. Within each Patent bet, there are 7 bets placed. This consists of:

The singles are the basic win/lose, ‘Moneyline’ style bets that entails one selection. Here, you 🦂can use your bet slip to cover all potential outcomes. The double bet is argua𝕴bly more challenging, as there are two selections involved. For the double bet to come through, you need to win both selections.

And then comes the treble, which means using all three of your singles. All three selections need to prꦿevail for you to win with thi💃s wager. So, the Alphabet has two Patents (or a total of 14 bets), which will include selection 1, 2, and selection 3. The second Patent bet takes into account selections 4, 5, and 6.

Yankee Bet

The second combination part of the Alphabet bet is the Ya﷽nkee Bet. Favoured among novice bettors, the Yankee bet encompasses a total of 11 bets, involving four selections, which are:

The doubles and trebles in the Yankee bet work in the same manner as the Patent bets. While the final type of bet is a four-fold accumulator, they aren’t too dissimi𓆉lar to doubles and trebles. Accumulators are always great fun, but usually all parts of the bet need to be met in order to win. So, with four-folds, all four selections have to come through for you to yield a return on your wager.

With a Yankee bet, there is only one availab𝓰le for the Alphabet bet. This wager relies upon betting selections for parts 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Six-Fold Accumulator

The final stage of the Alphabet bet is the six-fold accumulator. Perhaps the toughest of all the bets, this requires being successful with all six of your selections. In the next section, we will show you which sports you can make an Alphab𒅌et bet on.

Placing Alphabet Bets

With an Alphabet bet, you can bet on a multitude of sports. That being said, like most accumulators, they work best for football and horse racing.

Placing an Alphabet Bet on Football

With football, it is quite straightforward. So, for example, you coul🗹d do a six-fold accumulator on the following games:

If all the selections came through with the above bet, you would stand to win nearly £700. However, remember that not all the bets have to come through in order to make a return. If you land a double or a treble, then they will be paid out at double or treble the selecꦫtions create respectively.

Aside from predicting the correct score, football will have other outright markets that you can bet on with a six-fold accumulator, such as First Goalscorer and Anytime Goalscorer.

Placing an Alphabet Bet on Horse Racing

In essence, the Alphabet bet model for horse racing mirrors that of football. Once you have headed over to a particular meet, you can make six select🐓ions. Then, enter your stake and your potential winnings will be calculated.

Ladbrokes, for example, provides flash odds, but placing a small stake of £1 at a total stake of say £50, for example, could🌞 generate huge returns if all the selections of your six-fold acca come through.

How to Calculate Alphabet bet winnings

While compiling accumulators and working out potential returns of an accumulator can be challenging, bear in mind that Alphabet bets consists of 26 bets, and six s💜elections.

However, using an Alphabet bet calculator alleviates any problems. Indeed, most reputable bookmakers will have a betting calc꧑ulator. So, once you have entered the odds and the size of the stake you wish to place, click ‘Calculate Bet’, and you will be able ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚto see the amount of your potential winnings if all parts of your bet come through.
