Bet types & in-play

A small stake goes a shorter way as the number of bets behind the slip grows, so the bet type decides what a fiver really buys.

Four bets make a Trixie; the Yankee has 11, the Heinz 57 and the Goliath 247. Singles, accumulators and each-way bets stand at the other end, with bet builders, cash out, Asian handicap, ante-post and in-play streaming around them.

What a full-cover slip costs is simple multiplication of unit stake by bet count. Bookmakers in Great Britain run in-play markets, and cash out remains the operator’s own feature with no statutory right behind it.
