Alright, imagine you’re picking 3 soccer matches you think might win, and you want to place bets on them. Instead of just betting on each match individually, you can group them together into what’s called a Trixie bet.
Here’s how it works, step by step:
The 3 Matches
Let’s say you’ve picked:
- Match 1: Team A vs. Team B
- Match 2: Team C vs. Team D
- Match 3: Team E vs. Team F
You think Team A, Team C, and Team E will win.
A Trixie is Actually 4 Bets
Even though you’re betting on 3 matches, a Trixie bet is made up of 4 different bets:
- 3 doubles (which means you’re betting on 2 matches at a time):
- Bet 1: Match 1 + Match 2
- Bet 2: Match 1 + Match 3
- Bet 3: Match 2 + Match 3
- 1 treble (which means you’re betting on all 3 matches together):
- Bet 4: Match 1 + Match 2 + Match 3
How You Win
- You need at least 2 out of the 3 matches to win in order to get some money back.
- If all 3 matches win, you win all 4 bets!
Example
Let’s say you bet $1 on each of the 4 bets. So, the total amount you’re betting is $4.
- If only 2 matches win, you’ll win some money back from the doubles that include those 2 matches.
- If all 3 matches win, you win money from the doubles and the treble, which means a bigger payout!
Why It’s Fun
- You don’t need all 3 matches to win to get some money back. Just 2 out of 3 wins can still give you something.
- But if you’re right about all 3 matches, you can win even more!
Why It’s Called a Trixie
The word Trixie comes from the idea that you’re making 3 main selections (the 3 matches), but it automatically turns into 4 bets!
