Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Union Jack Patent structured?
A Union Jack Patent maps 9 selections onto a 3×3 matrix and applies a Patent (3 singles + 3 doubles + 1 treble) to each of the 8 lines, producing 56 bets in total.
What distinguishes it from a Union Jack Trixie?
The Patent variant layers singles onto every line. That means a single correct selection on a line already returns, whereas the Trixie requires a minimum of 2.
What is the total outlay?
56 × your unit stake. With a $1 unit, that resolves to a $56 outlay.
