Round Robin Explained
A Round Robin bet is a wager consisting of 10 separate bets across 3 selections. It includes 3 doubles, 1 treble and 3 up-and-down Single Stakes About pairs. In a Round Robin, every possible combination (‘permutation’) of selections is covered. It does not include single bets.
It is the same structure as a Trixie bet, with the addition of Single Stakes About pairs. See the Single Stakes About page to learn more about how those bets work.
In the US a Round Robin bet is very different and involves combining parlays. This calcualtor and page is for the UK version of Round Robin bets.
A Round Robin provides a return even if only one of your selections is successful. As such, it provides a good level of insurance should selections not go your way. This comes at the cost of a lower potential payout when compared to other three selection bets for the same total stake.
A Trixie, which contains the same bets as a Round Robin minus the Single Stakes About pairs, has a higher potential payout, but requires at least two selections to win.
When choosing selections, consider the odds carefully. If your selections all have short odds, a return from just one winning selection may not be enough to recover your total stake. Incorporating some longer-odds selections can be an effective way to balance risk and reward.
Since a Round Robin consists of 10 individual bets, your stake is multiplied by 10. For example, if you place a £1 per bet Round Robin, your total stake will be £10. The calculator on this page allows you to either set a stake per bet or enter a total stake amount and have it calculate the individual stake per bet for you.
Round Robin Composition
A Round Robin bet covers various betting combinations using three different selections. Single Stakes About pairs give a return even if only one selection wins, which is where your coverage comes from if you only select one winner. Here’s a breakdown of the bet:
| Bet Type | Selection Combinations | Number of Bets |
|---|---|---|
| Doubles | 12, 13, 23 | 3 |
| Trebles | 123 | 1 |
| Single Stakes About pairs | 12, 13, 23 | 3 (each containing 2 bets) |
| Total: 10 bets |
How Does an Each Way Round Robin work?
An each way Round Robin bet is a variation that covers both winning and placing selections. This doubles the number of bets to 20 because each selection is backed twice:
- One bet for the selection to win.
- One bet for the selection to place (e.g., finishing in the top three in a horse race).
This increases the chances of getting a return, even if some selections don’t win outright. However, since the number of bets doubles, the total stake also doubles. You could reduce your stake to compensate, but it would provide a lower maximum return should all selections win compared to a non-each way Round Robin for the same total stake.
Round Robin Pros and Cons
Pros
✓ Higher chance of a return – Even if only one selection wins, you still get a payout. This is generally a larger return than a Patent of the same overall stake. A Patent also has 3 selections and returns a payout if only one selection wins.
✓ Risk management – Covering every permutation gives you insurance in the event of your selections not going your way.
Cons
✘ Lower returns than an accumulator – Because a Single Stakes About bet only places the same stake on the second selection, the potential returns are lower.
✘ Initial complexity – The structure is more complex than single or accumulator bets, so can take some time to get to grips with.
