Box First Four Calculator ($1): 4 runners - $24 | 5 runners - $120 | 6 runners - $360 | 7 runners - $840 |
8 runners - $1680 | 9 runners - $3024
Standout (one runner to win) First Four ($1): + 3 runners - $6 | + 4 runners - $24 | + 5 runners - $60 |
+ 6 runners - $120 | + 7 runners - $210 | + 8 runners - $336 | + 9 runners - $504
Multiple First Four Calculator: use this formula to calculate the cost of a First Four bet. In this example, you are including your first selections for second plus two more runners, and your second selections plus one more runner for third and fourth. Simply multiply the number of horses selected for first by the number for second minus 1, then multiply by the number of third selections minus two, and the number of fourth selections minus 3.
Eg: A & B for 1st, A & B & C & D for 2nd, A & B & C & D & E for 3rd, A & B & C & D & E for fourth - the cost formula is 2 x 3 x 3 x 2 = $36

Flexibet is available on most bet types at Sportsbet, including:
Quaddies, Doubles & Super 6 bets.
Q. How does Flexi-Betting work?
A. The amount you invest is calculated as a percentage of the full dollar dividend.
Example: a boxed First 4 with 5 runners costs $120 to receive 100% of the dividend. If you invest $30, your percentage is 25% of the dividend.
Accumulator Bets - combine 3 or more selections from different racing and sports events and cover all the combinations of Win, Doubles, Trebles and Parlay (any four or more selections in different events). Once you have added three more selections to your Sportsbet bet slip, your multiple bet options automatically appear.
Patent - 7 bets covering 3 selections in different events: 3 Win bets, 3 Doubles, 1 Treble.
Example: A $5 Patent on 3 selections would cost $35.00, at least 1 selection must win to earn a return - Collingwood @ $6.00, So You Think @ $6.00 and Liverpool @ $6.00.
Cost Calculator: 3 x Win @ $5 = $15.00, 3 x Doubles @ $5 = $15.00, 1 x Treble @ $5 = $5.00. Total Cost = $35.00.
In this example, any one winner returns $30 (1 Win), two winners return $240 (1 Double, 2 Wins), all three winners return $1,710.
