Frequently Asked Questions about an Alphabet Bet

What is an Alphabet Bet?

An Alphabet bet is a bet which consists of six selections.

The ‘Alphabet’ bet name is because there are 26 bets (just like there are 26 letters in the alphabet).

The bet is a combination of 2 Patents (which is 14 bets), 1 Yankee (which is 11 bets) and a six-fold accumulator (1 bet).

What is the best way to place an Alphabet bet?

The best way to place an Alphabet is to make sure your selections 2,3,4,5 are your best picks.

Selections 1 and 6 in your bet are not included in your Yankee bet and for this reason, you want to make sure selections 2-5 have the highest chance of winning.

Here is a step by step guide on how to place an Alphabet:

1. Choose six racehorses or sports events you want to bet on
2. Add all six selections to your betting slip
3. Look under the ‘multiple’ segment and tick ‘alphabet’
4. Enter the sum that you want to stake (bear in mind your stake will be multiplied by 26)
5. Double-check your choices and click ‘place bets’

All picks do not have to win on an Alphabet for you to receive a return.

You only need one winner or even one placed horse if you bet on an each-way Alphabet.
