Examples
Football (decimal odds)
Round robin placed on each grid line across nine fixtures.
Horse racing (fractional odds)
Round robins along rows, columns, diagonals of the 3×3.
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
3×3 grid (8 lines)
Place a round robin along each row, column and diagonal. Total return is the sum of the returns from all 8 lines.
Reasons for making a Union Jack Round Robin 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.
