Trixie Calculator

The Trixie Bet consists of four bets: a Treble and three Doubles based on three selections from different sporting events. The significant advantage of a Trixie is that you can earn some returns even if only two of three selections are winners. That is the minimum requirement, but there is a significant challenge. If all selections are winners, then the total payout can be potentially high. This wager type is available for all sports, with Football, Horse Racing, and Greyhounds being the most popular among bettors.

A Trixie Calculator allows you to learn the potential returns before you place your wager. It’s a quick and accurate tool to determine the three Doubles and one Treble’s probable winnings. It would help if you were carefully adding the stake amount and the three selections' starting odds. Keep in mind that your total stake is four times what you enter (e.g., a €10 Trixie costs €40).

How to use our Trixie Calculator

A Trixie Bet is classified as a Cover (or Full Cover) Bet because it offers you a full-safe combination of the possible multiples included. Using our Trixie Calculator, you should follow three main steps to determine your wager’s potential winnings automatically: either you have two or three successful selections.

⏩Enter the three picks, the preferred odds format (decimals, fractions, or American), and the stake. If you place an Each Way Trixie Bet, tick the appropriate box.

⏩Add the odds of your selections and then choose the Total Combined Stake.

⏩Tapping the “Calculate” button, you will instantly learn your Total Profit and the Total Return if your winning picks are two or three.

How does a Trixie Bet work

It is vital to understand the structure to take advantage of all the benefits this type of System Bet provides. Read on to examine all the basic principles in regards to creating a winning Trixie Bet:

⏩Trixies consist of four bets; three Doubles and one Treble. That means that your total stake is four times what you place (e.g., a €5 Treble costs €5 but a €5 Trixie costs €20).

⏩You can’t select two bets from the same sports event as a part of a Trixie, although you can bet on different sports within a Trixie Bet.

⏩Use our Trixie Calculator and work out your potential winnings with small-sized or higher odds to find value.

⏩Separate the parts of this Cover Bet’s type. Name your selections as “A,” “B,” and “C.” These are the four bets that comprise your Trixie.

One Treble on “A,” “B,” and “C” selections.
1st Double on “A” and “B” selections.
2nd Double on “A” and “C” selections.
3rd Double on “B” and “C” selections.

The main advantage against straight Treble Betting is the safety that it offers. Losing out one selection on a Treble means that your wager is a loser. On the other hand, a Trixie Bet provides the flexibility to collect some returns if you miss out on one bet.

What is a Trixie Bet in Football

Learning how the odds can affect your potential winnings is the first step to creating this wager type. Our Calculator simplifies the betting process, doing all maths and calculations for you. Nonetheless, it’s useful to understand how this tool works using an example based on what is a Trixie Bet in football:

Bets	Matches	Selections	Odds
A	Inter vs. Milan	1	1.90
B	Crystal Palace vs. West Ham	2	2.37
C	Girona vs. Villareal	2	1.75

 

This is the mathematical formula that Trixie Calculator uses to determine your potential winnings for a €5 Trixie that costs €20 (4 bets of €5) if all three selections win:

Trixie Bet Winnings = {(Bet A Odds +1) x (Bet B Odds +1) x (Bet C Odds +1) - (Bet A Odds + Bet B Odds + Bet C Odds +1)} x Stake = {(1.90 + 1) x (2.37 +1) x (1.75+1) - (1.90 + 2.37 + 1.75 +1)} x €5 = {(2.90 x 3.37 x 2.75) - 7.02} x €5 = (26.875 -7.02) x €5 = 19.855 x €5 = €99.275.

So, your Total Profit is Total Returns - Total Stake = €99.275 - €20 = €79.275.

This winning Trixie example consists of the four bets that are broken down in the table below.

Bet 1	Treble	Inter, West Ham, and Villareal ALL WIN
Bet 2	Double	Inter and West Ham BOTH WIN
Bet 3	Double	Inter and Villareal BOTH WIN
Bet 4	Double	West Ham and Villareal BOTH WIN

 

If you place the same picks as a Treble, the potential winnings with a €20 total stake are €157.60. Comparing the Total Returns of the Trixie based on these three selections with the winner Treble on Inter, West Ham, and Villareal, you can realize that they are half. Trixies offer some safety, but they aren’t as profitable as straight bets.

How to place a Trixie Bet on Horse Racing

Here is an example of a Trixie Bet on Ηorse Racing, where two of your three picks win. You should know that if no horses win, or one horse wins, you lose your entire stake. If all three horses win, the profit is calculated as in the football example above. The ideal scenario is to place three winning selections, but there is always the risk of at least one bet losing.

Bets	Races	Horses	Selections	Odds	Place
A	R2 Southwell	Jazz Legend	TO WIN	4.50	1st
B	R4 Gosford	Major Artie	TO WIN	3.30	2nd
C	R5 Mackay	Carlin Trend	TO WIN	2.15	1st

 

So, use the mathematical formula that Trixie Calculator works out to determine your winnings for a €2 Trixie that costs €8 (4 bets of 2€). These are your Total Returns, with only Jazz Legend and Carlin Trend win their races.

Trixie Bet (2/3) Winnings = {(Bet A Odds +1) x (Bet B Odds +1) x (Bet C Odds +1) - (Bet A Odds + Bet B Odds + Bet C Odds +1)} x Stake = {(4.50 + 1) x (0 +1) x (2.15+1) - (4.50 + 0 + 2.15 +1)} x €2 = {(5.50 x 1 x 3.15) - 7.65} x €2 = (17.325 -7.65) x €2 = 9.675 x €2 = €19.35.

So, your Total Profit is Total Returns - Total Stake = €19.35 - €8 = €11.35.

How to use the Each Way Trixie Calculator

This is a turning point for bettors that prefer Trixies but are not satisfied with the total returns that a 2/3 system pays back. At the horse racing example, the total returns are €19.35. Is there a way to increase the winnings if Major Artie places 2nd? In this case, you will not have a fully successful Trixie, but you can collect more earnings risking with an Each Way Trixie Bet.

You can turn the bet above into an E/W, betting on the three horses to win and place and keeping the total stake at €8. Placing a €2 Trixie, you pay €8 (4 bets of €2). You will now place a €1 Trixie, and your total stake will be €8 (8 bets of €1) again. Let’s see your total returns if Jazz Legend (4.50) and Carlin Trend (2.15) win and Major Artie place 2nd with “1/2 first and second” terms (i.e., the odds to place are halved).

Using our Each Way Trixie Calculator, you can automatically update your new E/W Trixie by choosing the option “Yes” at the “Each Way” Box. If you place an €8 total stake, your Total Returns will be €32.62, and the Total Profit €24.62. Undoubtedly, higher than the €11.35 of your starting Trixie Bet.
