Round Robin
- A Round Robin consists of 10 bets involving 3 selections from different events, comprising 3 doubles, 1 treble and 6 Any-To-Come (ATC) single bets. This is where the whole or part of the return from one selection is automatically reinvested on another selection (see example below).
- Round Robins are only accepted on Horse Racing or Greyhound events, excluding ante-post events.
For example, if the 3 selections and their odds were:
| A = 2.50 | B = 3.00 | C = 4.00 |
(Fractional equivalent: 6/4, 2/1 & 3/1)
a) If all selections won in a €1 Round Robin, the payout would be calculated as follows:
3 x Doubles
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| A + B | 2.50 x 3.00 | = 7.50 |
| A + C | 2.50 x 4.00 | = 10.00 |
| B + C | 3.00 x 4.00 | = 12.00 |
1 x Treble
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| A + B + C | 2.50 x 3.00 x 4.00 | = 30.00 |
6 x Any-To-Come Bets
(This means your stake goes on the first selection, and if there is any return then you get the same stake on the second selection. This stake for this extra bet will be deducted from the final returns)
| €1A ATC* | €1B = 2.50 + 3.00 As ‘A’ won, then €1 goes on ‘B’ |
| €1B ATC | €1A = 3.00 + 2.50 As ‘B’ won, then €1 goes on ‘A’ |
| €1A ATC | €1C = 2.50 + 4.00 As ‘A’ won, then €1 goes on ‘C’ |
| €1C ATC | €1A = 4.00 + 2.50 As ‘C’ won, then €1 goes on ‘A’ |
| €1B ATC | €1C = 3.00 + 4.00 As ‘B’ won, then €1 goes on ‘C’ |
| €1C ATC | €1B = 4.00 + 3.00 As ‘C’ won, then €1 goes on ‘B’ |
* - ATC (Any-To-Come)
The total payout from all the winning bets is €97.50.
The additional Any-To-Come stakes not included in the original stake is €6.00 (to be deducted from returns).
Therefore, the total returns are €91.50, the total stake paid was €10.00, leaving an overall profit of €81.50 for this bet.
b) If selections A & B won, and selection C lost, in a €1 Round Robin, the payout would be calculated as follows:
3 x Doubles
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| A + B | 2.50 x 3.00 | = 7.50 |
| A + C | 2.50 x Lose | = Nil |
| B + C | 3.00 x Lose | = Nil |
1 x Treble
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| A + B + C | 2.50 x 3.00 x Lose | = Nil |
6 x Any-To-Come Bets
(This means your stake goes on the first selection, and if there is any return then you get the same stake on the second selection. This stake for this extra bet will be deducted from the final returns)
| €1A ATC* | €1B = 2.50 + 3.00 As ‘A’ won, then €1 goes on ‘B’ |
| €1B ATC | €1A = 3.00 + 2.50 As ‘B’ won, then €1 goes on ‘A’ |
| €1A ATC | €1C = 2.50 + Lose As ‘A’ won, then €1 goes on ‘C’ |
| €1C ATC | €1A = Lose + N/A As ‘C’ lost, then no money goes on ‘A’ |
| €1B ATC | €1C = 3.00 + Lose As ‘B’ won, then €1 goes on ‘C’ |
| €1C ATC | €1B = Lose + N/A As ‘C’ lost, then no money goes on ‘B’ |
* - ATC (Any-To-Come)
The total payout from all the winning bets is €24.00.
The additional Any-To-Come stakes not included in the original stake is €4.00 (to be deducted from returns).
Therefore, the total returns are €20.00, the total stake paid was €10.00, leaving an overall profit of €10.00 for this bet.
c) If one selection won, e.g. C with odds = 4.00, and A and B lost in the above Round Robin bet, only 2 ATC bets will be winners, the total payout is calculated as follows:
| 1st Selection | 2nd Selection |
|---|---|
| €1C ATC* | €1A = 4.0 + Lose As ‘C’ won, then €1 goes on ‘A’ |
| €1C ATC | €1B = 4.0 + Lose As ‘C’ won, then €1 goes on ‘B’ |
* - ATC (Any-To-Come)
The return from the two winning bets: €8.00.
The additional Any-To-Come stakes not included in the original stake is €2.00 (to be deducted from returns).
The total payout from the two ATC winning bets is €8.00 - €2.00 = €6.00.
Therefore, the total returns are €6.00. The total stake paid was €10.00, leaving an overall loss of €4.00 for this bet.
