A Round Robin bet is a type of horse racing bet that involves multiple combinations of bets, typically consisting of three or more selections. It is a complex bet that allows you to cover several different outcomes without placing a large number of individual bets. Here’s how to place a Round Robin bets:
1. **Choose Your Selections**: First, you need to pick at least three horses that you believe have a chance of winning. You can include more horses if you want, but remember that the number of horses will greatly increase the number of bets you are placing.
2. **Understand the Bets Involved**: A Round Robin bet is actually a combination of three different types of bets: three doubles, one treble, and three single stakes about (each-way) bets if you choose to include them. Here’s what each of these means:
– **Double**: A bet on two selections in different races.
– **Treble**: A bet on three selections in different races.
– **Single Stakes About (SSA)**: This is an each-way bet that includes a win and a place part.
3. **Calculate the Number of Bets**: If you choose three horses (A, B, and C), you will have the following combinations:
– Doubles: AB, AC, BC (3 doubles)
– Treble: ABC (1 treble)
– SSA: A, B, C (3 single stakes about bets, if chosen)
This means you will have a total of 7 bets if you don’t include the place part (win only), or 10 bets if you include the place part (each-way).
4. **Decide on the Stake**: Decide how much you want to stake on each of the individual parts of the Round Robin. This will be the amount you bet on each double, treble, and each part of the SSA.
5. **Place Your Bet**: Go to a betting shop or an online betting platform that offers Round Robin bets. Inform the cashier or use the online interface to specify that you want to place a Round Robin bet. You will need to provide the selections you’ve made and the stake for each part of the bet.
6. **Understand the Payouts**: If any of your selections win or place (if you’ve chosen each-way), you will receive a payout. The amount you win depends on the odds of each selection and the type of bet (win or place). If you win the treble, for example, the payout will be larger than for a double because it is harder to predict three winners correctly.
7. **Collect Your Winnings**: If one or more of your bets are successful, you can collect your winnings from the betting shop or online platform. Remember that with a Round Robin, even if only some of your selections win, you may still receive a payout from the successful parts of the bet.
Remember that Round Robin bets can be expensive because they involve multiple wagers, and the potential for large payouts comes with a higher risk of losing your total stake. Always gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.
