A Round Robin bet consists of three selections spread across ten bets. Below, we’ve listed you with the separate bets which are included in a Round Robin bet.
- 3 Doubles
- 1 Treble
- 3 up-and-down single stakes about pairs
To see a return of some funds, you’ll need at least one of the three selections you’ve included in your Round Robin bet to win. If all three selections are a loss, then your bet will be settled as a losing one, and you won’t receive any funds.

How To Work Out A Round Robin Bet
The easiest way to work out a Round Robin bet is to use a Round Robin Bet Calculator, which will save you the time and effort of working out your potential returns from each possible combination.
However, if you’d prefer to work it out manually for yourself, then convert any fractional odds into decimals. You should then multiply the combinations below together to form the potential returns from your Round Robin bet.
- Doubles: Selection A x Selection B, Selection A x Selection C, Selection B x Selection C.
- Trebles: Selection A x Selection B x Selection C.
- Up and Down SSA Pairs: Selection A x Selection B, Selection B x Selection C, Selection A x Selection C.
The example listed above is from a three selection Round Robin bet, but it’s worth remembering that you can have a Round Robin bet that consists of up to ten betting selections.
What Is A Patent Round Robin Bet?
A Patent bet consists of seven bets in total, and is very similar to that of a Round Robin bet, as both of them cover the single bets, as well as the doubles and trebles that have been made from the punter’s betting selections.
To see a return of funds from a Patent or Round Robin bet, you’ll need at least one of your selections to be settled as a winning one, and if you don’t, then you won’t be seeing a return of any sort of funds, regardless of the odds involved in the bet.

Is A Round Robin Bet Worth It?
There isn’t a straightforward answer to this question, but a Round Robin bet can be profitable for some punters. Given that you only need one of your selections to win to see a return of some funds, it’s one of the positives involved in this type of bet.
However, there aren’t any guarantees in betting, and there aren’t guaranteed winners by any stretch of the imagination. You should always remember to gamble responsibly, and with funds that you can afford to lose. In terms of a betting strategy, it can be difficult to see long-term profit from a Round Robin bet, so some bettors might look elsewhere on a different type of bet that covers fewer multiples.
Pros
- You only need one winner to see a return of some funds.
- Can be a fun bet to track for future potential profits if a selection is a loss early into a Round Robin bet.
- Some form of insurance is involved, as losing selections don’t mean that you can’t win some money.
Cons
- Can be a difficult bet to keep track of.
- Difficult to implement a betting strategy from a Round Robin bet.

Yes, you can place an each way Round Robin bet in horse racing. The only difference between a standard Round Robin bet and an each way Round Robin bet is that the each way part covers the ‘place’ part on each selection.

You can’t have a Round Robin accumulator, as you’re covering different multiples within a Round Robin bet. An accumulator bet would mean that you can’t have any losing selections, whereas a Round Robin can allow at least one losing selection to still see a return of some funds.
