Round Robin Calculator
A Round Robin has 10 unit bets: 3 up-and-down pairs (6 bets) + 3 doubles + 1 treble. The calculator below shows the equivalent return for all bets to win — for precise up-and-down conditional calculations, use the Patent equivalent (3 singles + 3 doubles + 1 treble = 7 bets).
What is a Round Robin bet?
A Round Robin is a combination bet on 3 selections that covers 10 unit bets: three up-and-down pairs (6 bets), three doubles and one treble. The unique feature is the up-and-down pairs — also called cross-bets or round-the-clock singles — where winning on one selection triggers a conditional bet on the other selection in each pair. This structure means that even if only one selection wins, you can get some return from the conditional leg of the up-and-down pair if that selection's return is used as a stake on the other (which also wins).

What is an up-and-down bet?
An up-and-down bet (sometimes called a cross-bet or round-the-clock single) is a pair of conditional single bets between two selections. When you place an up-and-down on selections A and B, your first stake goes on A — if A wins, the entire return goes as a single on B. Your second stake goes on B — if B wins, the entire return goes as a single on A. If both selections win, the return from each leg of the pair is effectively multiplied by the other's odds, giving a higher return than a standard double for the same two selections.
