Flag Example
| Selection Name | Odds |

| Team A | 2/1 |

Sum returns from all multiples and SSA conditional bets. Use the calculator below to see exact returns for each component bet and the total.
Examples
Football (decimal odds)
Four teams form standard multiples plus SSA pairs for extra coverage.
Horse racing (fractional odds)
Four horses (e.g., 6/4–7/2) in a Flag including SSA pairs.
Fractional odds explained
- Written as a/b (e.g., 5/2). This means you win a profit of a for every b you stake.
- Profit = stake × (a ÷ b). Total return = stake + profit.
- Quick convert to decimal: 1 + (a ÷ b). Example: 9/4 → 1 + 9/4 = 3.25.
- Example: at 2/1, a £10 stake: profit £20, total return £30.
Formulas
Multiples + SSA pairs
Returns are the sum of all standard multiples plus the SSA "about" pairs included in this bet type.
Reasons for making a Flag Bet
- Increased chances of winning: Multiple combinations create more ways to get a return than a single bet.
- Potential for significant returns: When several selections win, combined payouts can grow quickly.
- Risk management: Some combinations can still return even if not all selections win.
