Union Jack Trebles Bet Explained
A Union Jack Trebles bet is a wager consisting of 8 trebles applied to your selections in every row, column and diagonal when your selections are placed in a 3 x 3 grid.
Here’s a visual representation of how your selections (numbered 1 to 9) are combined.
Each line on the grid (row, column and diagonal) represents one Treble bet using 3 selections.
As you can see, some selections are used in more combinations than others. This gives strategic importance to where you place your selections.
- The corner selections (1, 3, 7 and 9) are used in 3 Trebles.
- The side selections (2, 4, 6 and 8) are used in 2 Trebles.
- The center selection (5) is used in 5 Trebles.
There are so many variations you could play with. For example, you could place your shortest odds selection in the center, with longer shots on the sides so that they don’t ruin as much of your bet if they don’t come in. Use the Union Jack Trebles calculator on this page to see how the position of each selection can impact your bet.
There are other variations of the Union Jack, such as the Union Jack Trixie, Union Jack Patent, and Union Jack Round Robin. Instead of Trebles, they place Trixies, Patents or Round Robins along the same grid lines, giving rise to even more possibilities.
Since a Union Jack Trebles bet consists of 8 individual bets, your stake is multiplied by 8. For example, if you place a £1 per bet Union Jack Trebles, your total stake will be £8. The calculator on this page allows you to either set a stake per bet or enter a total stake amount and have it calculate the individual stake per bet for you.
How Does an Each Way Union Jack Trebles work?
As with regular Trebles, a Union Jack Trebles bet can be placed each way. This means each individual Treble bet becomes an each way Treble, that covers both winning and placing selections. This doubles the number of bets to 16 because each selection is backed twice:
- One bet for the selection to win.
- One bet for the selection to place (e.g., finishing in the top three in a horse race).
For a full break down of how each individual each way treble works, see the Trebles page.
Using each way Trebles increases the chances of getting a return, even if some selections don’t win outright. However, since the number of bets doubles, the total stake also doubles. You could reduce your stake to compensate, but it would provide a lower maximum return should all selections win compared to a non-each way Union Jack Trebles for the same total stake.
Union Jack Trebles Pros and Cons
Pros
✔ Flexible Strategy – Having some selections used more often than others gives great strategic possibilities within a single bet.
✔ Good coverage – The combination of different selections gives multiple chances to win.
✔ Added excitement – By having selections that are more or less strategically important, it can add an extra level of excitement if you are watching results come in.
✔ Risk management – Covering different combinations adds an element of risk management to your bet. If one combination of selections fails to win, you still have other combinations that could give a return.
Cons
✘ No flexibility in stakes – Since Union Jack Trebles place the same stake on every combination of selections, you cannot vary your stake based on your confidence in a particular set of selections.
✘ Not all combinations are covered – Unlike full coverage bets, not all combinations are covered. You could have 3 correct selections that are spread across the grid in a way that doesn’t give any winning combinations.
