A Sixfold bet is exactly what you imagine it to be – a single bet consisting of six different elements, all of which have to be predicted correctly in order for you to win.

What this means is that you have six selections and you build all combinations of four fold bets from that. In this instance there would be £15 different combinations of four folds from six selections, so you are making £15 separate bets in the wager. So your initial outlay would be 15 x Stake. Here, you can see the four fold bet explained, and we will also provide some tips on how you can make this type of betting work for you. By the end of the article, you should have a good idea about how does a four fold bet work, and should feel confident enough to be able to place one at an online bookie.

If you have experience of accumulator bets already, then this is just another type with the addition of more stages. If you’re new to it, then read on for more detail and an example of how to place a Sixfold bet.

What Is A Sixfold Bet?

The Sixfold bet is most often seen in horse racing betting, particularly where a meeting has six races.

In that case, those betting have to predict the winner of each race (or a horse that will be placed in each race, if you choose the ‘each way’ option), with the selections being made before the start of the first race.

Assuming your first selection wins, the winnings are then automatically placed as the stake on the next selection. To win, all six predictions have to be correct, so if you get just one wrong then the overall bet loses.

This type of bet can of course be placed on any other sport or combination of events as long as you can get 6 together.

Sixfold Betting Example

The way it works is really very simple, as can be seen by the example below:

You place a £1 Sixfold with your chosen betting site. Your stake can be whatever amount you like, but it’s often just a small amount as even these have the potential for big profits.

In the first race, you choose horse A at 5/1, so your £1 stake goes on that. It wins, so your £6 return is used as the stake on your next selection instead of being handed back to you.

In the next race, you chose horse B at 3/1, and it also wins. You now have £24 as the stake on the third race.

For the third race, your £24 is on horse C at 4/1. Assuming it wins, the return and the value of the stake on race 4 is £120.

So race has £120 staked on horse D at 3/1. This will return £480 when it wins, giving you the stake for race 5.

£480 goes on horse E at 2/1 next. It wins again, so the return of £1440 is used as the stake on the sixth and final selection.

For race 6 then, the stake is £1440 on horse F at 4/1. This means that when it wins, you have a massive return of £7200, all from your original £1 stake.

Risks & Rewards of Sixfold Bets

The rewards of getting a Sixfold bet correct are obvious, as from very small initial stakes you can generate some huge profits.

The downside, of course, is that with six choices to make the chances of something going wrong are increased and you will find you get a much lower strike rate than if you were placing single bets.

Patience is key, as you might have to endure long losing runs before you get a winner, although as it only needs small stakes the financial risks can be kept to a minimum.

If you are betting on horse racing and feel cautious, you can do the ‘each way’ route and choose each way bets rather than outright wins. This choice is slightly safer, and will result in a higher strike rate but give lower returns as you will only get the ‘place’ odds for each selection.

Multiples and Full Cover bets remain great fun and bet365 offer a comprehensive variation of these bets on their site. For a novice though, these bets are hard to get to grips with at first and it is best to do a little homework before throwing your money at them.

The bigger the full cover bet, the more a punter should be careful about their unit stake. For example in the case of the Goliath, there are 247 different bets in the combination meaning even a 20p unit stake would cost a total of £49.40.

In all cases, when you have entered your total number of selections, simply click ‘multiple bet options’ at the bottom of your bet slip and bet365 will work out for you how much your total stake is when you enter your unit stake.These bets of course are multiples, so at least two of the selections must win to create a winning double as a minimum.

Here we look at some of the multiple bet options available at Bet365:

Bet365 Banker

As well as placing your standard bets with bet365, you may now alter your selection and make it a ‘banker’ bet. As part of an accumulator, you can choose one selection to be your ‘banker’ and this selection must win, otherwise the whole bet fails regardless of any insurance.

Once you have chosen your desired teams for you acca, change the bet type at the top of the slip from ‘standard’ to ‘banker’. Then, simply choose the one you think has the best chance of winning and click the box marked ‘B’ next to the team’s name. Having done this, options will appear for the various combination bets available using your banker selection.

All that is required to place the banker bet is to enter in each bet the amount you would like to stake on each selection, though your overall stake will be multiplied by the number of bets in each section as explained below.

Bet365 Trixie

6 Fold Bread

A Trixie is a bet consisting of three selections meaning there are four individual bets based on the number of combinations available; three doubles and one treble in this case. Should one of the selections lose but the other two win, the gambler will be paid out on the ‘double’ consisting of those two selections. After making 3 selections trixie bet option will appear under the multiple options tab in your bet slip.

Bet365 Yankee

This time you will have made 4 selections, the combination being 11 different bets consisting of 6 doubles, 4 trebles and an accumulator containing all 4 selections. There is no double in this bet, which many punters forget about so do ensure that you are fairly sure about 3 of your 4 selections. After making 4 selections yankee bet option will appear under the multiple options tab in your bet slip.

Bet365 Super Yankee

A Super Yankee has 5 selections containing a combination of 26 bets, this time it’s 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 fourfold accumulators and a fivefold accumulator. Already we are at the point where our unit stake must be kept under control; even a £1 unit stake here would cost £26 in total. After making 5 selections super yankee bet option will appear under the multiple bet options tab in your bet slip.

Bet365 Heinz

6 selections are needed for this one and it is so no named because of the ‘57 varieties’ in the bet, similar to that offered by food retailer Heinz. The combination is; 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, 6 fivefolds and of course a sixfold. After making 6 selections heinz option will appear under the multiple options tab in your bet slip.

Bet365 Super Heinz

The Super Heinz has 7 selections containing 120 bets in total made up of 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 fourfolds, 21 fivefolds, 7 sixfolds and finally the single sevenfold straight accumulator. You have to make 7 selections to see Super Heinz under the multiple options tab in your bet slip.

Bet365 Goliath

This time we have 8 selections made up of 247 bets including 28 doubles, 56 trebles, 70 fourfolds, 56 fivefolds, 28 sixfolds, 8 sevenfolds and of course the eightfold. As mentioned above, even a 20p unit stake here would cost £49.40 in total so be careful with this type of bet. The overall stake can get away from you very quickly if you don’t keep an eye on it, especially when you have money sitting in your account anyway which can be used at any time. You need to make 7 selections to see Goliath bet under the multiple options tab in your bet365 bet slip.

bet365 Block

A Block bet consists of 9 or more selections across different games or events. The bets are combined and comprise an accumulator of all 9 selections, then perms of all the lesser accumulators; various 4-folds, 5-folds etc and all the way down to double and trebles. bet365 is currently the only major online bookie accepting straight block bets.

Naturally, to gain your full potential returns then all selections must win. Blocking the bets though is a great way of covering yourself should one of your selections fail early on, keeping the bet alive. Your potential winnings will be cut by the appropriate amount should a selection fail.

Once again, keep stakes to a minimum. Even a 9-selection block bet will be calculated at 502-times your unit stake!
