Trixie Bet Calculator
Enter three selections and your stake per line. A trixie contains 4 bets total: 3 doubles and 1 treble.
What Is a Trixie Bet?
A trixie bet is a popular multiple in sports betting made up of four lines: three doubles and one treble. You choose three selections, and the bet becomes more forgiving than a straight treble because you can still get a return if only two selections win.
That “2 out of 3 can still pay” feature is why many bettors use trixies in horse racing, football accumulators, and other markets where they want bigger potential returns without relying on all three picks winning.
The 4 Lines Inside a Trixie
- Double: Selection 1 × Selection 2
- Double: Selection 1 × Selection 3
- Double: Selection 2 × Selection 3
- Treble: Selection 1 × Selection 2 × Selection 3
If your stake per line is £5, your total stake is £20 (4 lines × £5).

Core Formula
For each winning line: Return = Stake × (combined decimal odds).
For example, a double return is stake × odds A × odds B. The final trixie return in the “all three win” scenario is the sum of all three double returns plus the treble return.
Example Calculation
Suppose your picks are decimal odds 2.50, 3.00, and 4.00 with a £5 stake per line:
- Double 1-2: £5 × 2.50 × 3.00 = £37.50
- Double 1-3: £5 × 2.50 × 4.00 = £50.00
- Double 2-3: £5 × 3.00 × 4.00 = £60.00
- Treble 1-2-3: £5 × 2.50 × 3.00 × 4.00 = £150.00
Total return if all 3 win = £297.50. Total stake = £20. Profit = £277.50.
Why Bettors Use Trixies
- More coverage than a treble: two winners can still produce returns.
- Higher upside than singles: compounding odds in doubles and trebles.
- Flexible staking: easy to scale up or down via stake per line.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing stake per line with total stake.
- Mixing decimal and fractional formats unintentionally.
- Overlooking bookmaker rules (dead heat, void legs, Rule 4, etc.).
- Ignoring bankroll management when placing multiple-line bets.
