Bet types explained
Single
Single
A Single Bet is a stake placed on a single selection outcome and only produces a return if it wins.
How to calculate a Single Bet
If your bet wins at odds of 7/2 with a CAD$10 stake, multiply your stake by the numerator (7), then divide by the denominator (2), and add your stake back.
Example: CAD$10 × 7 = CAD$70 ÷ 2 = CAD$35 + CAD$10 stake = CAD$45 total return
Double

A Double is a single bet across two selections. Both selections must win to generate a return. If the first selection wins, the returns are rolled over as the stake for the second selection. Both selections must be from separate events.
How to calculate a Double Bet
Example with a CAD$10 stake:
Bet 1 at 3/1: CAD$10 × 3 + CAD$10 = CAD$40 return.
Bet 2 at 2/1 using CAD$40 as stake: CAD$40 × 2 + CAD$40 = CAD$120 total return.
