3/4 system

A 3/4 system bet is a type of bet that allows you to wager on 4 events in 4 different combinations (trebles), and you need at least 3 correct events to win the bet (based on the odds).

Note: The 1st number (3) indicates how many events are in each combo, and the 2nd number (4) reveals how many events you have to choose from.

For example: If you bet on A, B, C, and D, your trebles would be: ABC, ABD, ACD, and BCD.

How to Do a 3/4 System Bet

  1. Choose your events. Pick 4 events from any sport or market you like.
  2. Select 3/4 System Bet. Your bet slip will do the magic and create 4 trebles from your 4 selections. 
  3. Enter your stake. Put your stake on your bet slip (it’ll be split equally among the 4 trebles).
  4. Get your payout. Receive your payment based on the odds and the number of winning trebles.
  5. Lose your stake. The bet is lost if more than one pick loses. 

3/4 System Bet Outcomes

Example 1: Sweet Victory 

Imagine that you hit all 4 picks. The 4 tennis players you chose are: Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, and Osaka. 

TrebleOddsResult
Djokovic, Federer, Nadal1.2 x 1.5 x 1.6 = 2.88Won
Djokovic, Federer, Osaka1.2 x 1.5 x 2.0 = 3.6Won
Djokovic, Nadal, Osaka1.2 x 1.6 x 2.0 = 3.84Won
Federer, Nadal, Osaka1.5 x 1.6 x 2.0 = 4.8Won

Let’s say you bet $40 on the system. Each treble gets a 1/4 of your stake (since there are 4 trebles). So, to get your return, use this formula:

Return = Stake x (1/4) x (Sum of odds of all trebles).

This way, you get $151.2 as a return: $40 x (1/4) x (15.12); and a profit of $111.2 ($151.2 – $40). 

Example 2: Slight Loss

Even if you fail one event (Osaka), it’s not over. You can still have a chance to win money back. Here’s the logic behind it:

TrebleOddsResult
Djokovic, Federer, Nadal1.2 x 1.5 x 1.6 = 2.88Won
Djokovic, Federer, Osaka1.2 x 1.5 x 2.0 = 3.6Lost
Djokovic, Nadal, Osaka1.2 x 1.6 x 2.0 = 3.84Lost
Federer, Nadal, Osaka1.5 x 1.6 x 2.0 = 4.8Lost

Here’s what you’ll get: ($10 x 2.88) = $28.8, which is a slight loss of $11.2 ($40 – $28.8).
