What is a Treble Bet?

A 'treble' bet involves three selections on the same bet, picked from three different events, and you require all three outcomes to be successful in order to achieve a return from the bet.

If you are looking for a bet that could result in a bigger return then a Treble bet could be a good option as opposed to other multiples as the stakes are kept low by only having one stake across three selections.

A treble bet is a form of multiple bet. There are a number of other kinds of multiple bets available, including doubles, trixies, accumulators, Yankees and Lucky 15s. These bets also include several bets under one single bet, with Yankees featuring 11 bets and Lucky 15s including 15. 

How Are Treble Bets Odds Calculated?

The odds that are available to bettors looking to place a treble bet are different from regular odds. There are a couple of ways to describe the way these odds and the returns that can be won from them are worked out.

The simplest way to explain it is that the winnings from each bet is placed on the subsequent bet. So, if the first bet made the bettor £5 in returns, the second bet would stake that £5. The winnings from that second bet would then be staked on the third bet to produce the final return. Whatever way the process of a treble bet is described, the results are the same and are a cumulation of all the three selections that are being made – this doesn't mean that the bets can't take place at the same time, it just explains how the total odds are calculated.

Treble Bet Example

Let's say you want to place a treble bet on three Premier League matches at the weekend and are making the below predictions:

• Chelsea to beat Newcastle at 2/1
• Bournemouth to beat Brentford at 3/1
• Manchester United to beat Liverpool at 4/1

If you were to place a £2 treble on the above fixtures and they all won, the first bet (Chelsea to beat Newcastle would return £6 for you (£4 plus the original £2 stake). The second bet (Bournemouth to beat Brentford) uses the £6 return from the first bet as the stake. If this bet were to win, it would result in a return of £24 (£18 plus the £6 stake). The third and final bet (Manchester United to beat Liverpool) uses the £24 return from the second match as the stake. If this bet were to win, it would result in a return of £120 (£96 plus the £24 stake). That £120 is the final figure that the bettor wins. 

Of course if any of the above teams lost the entire treble would be a loser regardless of if the other two won.

All our bookmaker partners offer treble bets across a range of sports such as horse racing, football, golf, Formula 1, American football and more.

As this kind of bet revolves around who will win the event being bet upon, it must be placed on separate events. This means that a bettor could not have a treble bet on a greyhound to finish first, another to finish second and another to finish third in one single race. This scenario describes an entirely different kind of bet: a Tricast bet. 

Bets Similar to a Treble Bet

The most similar bet to a treble is probably the Trixie. A Trixie involves three selections across three different events, but is actually made of four different bets. Trixie bets include one treble and 3 doubles, meaning that one of the selections could lose and you would still get a return because of the doubles – your total stake will be four-times higher though as you are placing four bets.

Other Kinds of Multiple Bets

A Lucky 15 is a form of multiple bet and there are a lot of different types of multiple that will involve difference combinations of bets and selections.
