How does a Trixie Calculator work?

A Trixie calculator is a type of odds calculator designed to automatically display the return of Trixie bets by splitting the total wager across these 4 bets. Simply enter the odds of each selection, the outcome of each selection and the total wager and the Trixie calculates the return and total profit. You can also calculate the returns if one of the selections loses within the Trixie.

Using a Trixie bet calculator effectively

To use the trixie bet calculator effectively and get accurate returns there are a few things you can do:

• Input odds accurately
• Input the outcome of each selection accurately
• Double-check that the desired wager is inputted correctly

What’s a Trixie Bet?

A Trixie bet is 1 bet containing 3 different selections, and unlike other bet types, not all selections have to win to get a return. Furthermore, a Trixie contains 3 doubles and 1 treble, meaning even if 1 selection loses you still get paid for the 2 other winners.

Example of a Trixie Bet Calculation

An example of a Trixie bet would be if you bet on the following with a total wager of $10 per line (total outlay of $40):

• Selection 1: Lakers to beat the Warriors at odds of 2.0
• Selection 2: Nets to draw with the 76ers at odds of 3.5
• Selection 3: Bucks to beat the Bulls at odds of 1.8

The Trixie calculator would then split the total wager across the following bets:

• Bet 1: Selection 1 & Selection 2 both win as a double
• Bet 2: Selection 2 & Selection 3 both win as a double
• Bet 3: Selection 1 & Selection 3 both win as a double
• Bet 4: Selection 1, Selection 2 & Selection 3 all to win as a treble

Guide to Use Our Free Trixie Bet Calculatorhat

To start, you should know that at TheOddsCalculator all our tools are free of use and no sign-up is needed. To use the Trixie calculator follow the steps below:

Step 1 – Input the odds of each of your 3 selections

This is the starting point for your Trixie bet calculation. Here, you need to input the odds for the three selections (events or outcomes) that you’ve chosen to include in your Trixie bet.

These could be horse races, football matches, tennis matches, or any other sporting event. Each event or outcome has its own odds, and these odds are what determine potential returns from a winning bet. Input these odds in the designated fields.

Remember, the odds can be entered as fractions, decimals, or in the American odds format, depending on your preference and the standard format in your region.

Step 2 – Tweak the outcome dropdown menu of each selection to won, lost, place, or void

Once you’ve input the odds for your selections, the next step is to specify the outcome for each of these selections. Using the dropdown menu associated with each selection, choose between ‘Won’, ‘Lost’, ‘Placed’ or ‘Void’.

If the selection wins, choose ‘Won’. If it doesn’t, select ‘Lost’. If your bet type includes a ‘Place’ option and your selection finishes in any of the pre-specified place positions, select ‘Placed’. If the event didn’t occur and the selection is neither a win nor a loss, select ‘Void’. This action will help the calculator understand the result of each selection, and it will reflect in the calculation of your total returns.

Step 3 – Enter the desired wager

The last step in using the Trixie bet calculator is to input your stake and the amount of money you wish to bet. Enter this amount in the designated ‘Stake’ field.

This could be a single total amount, or, if you’re using an ‘Each Way’ (EW) bet, you might have to enter the stake amount for the ‘Win’ and ‘Place’ parts of the bet separately.

Once you’ve done this, the calculator will automatically calculate the potential returns and profit based on the odds of your selections and the results you’ve specified. The total return includes the return from all 4 bets (3 doubles and 1 treble) of a Trixie bet. Remember, in a Trixie bet, even if one selection loses, you can still make a return if the other two win.
