What is a Trixie?
A Trixie is 4 bets across 3 selections: 3 doubles and 1 treble. No singles — you need at least 2 winners for a return. A £1 Trixie costs £4 (or £8 each way). It's the cheapest full-cover bet without singles.
Trixie vs Patent
A Patent adds 3 singles to a Trixie, making 7 bets total. The Patent costs more but returns something from 1 winner. A Trixie is cheaper but needs 2 winners. If your 3 selections are at short odds, the singles would return little — a Trixie saves you that cost.

Trixie returns by winner count
With 2 winners: 1 winning double pays out. With all 3 winners: 3 doubles + 1 treble — every bet wins. The treble is where the big returns come from, multiplying all three sets of odds together.
When to use a Trixie
A Trixie makes sense when you have 3 selections you're confident about but don't want the all-or-nothing risk of a treble. It's cheaper than a Patent (4 bets vs 7) but sacrifices the safety net of singles. Best when your selections are at short-to-medium odds where singles would return little.
