A patent bet is a popular system bet on kwiff, as it allows you to have an interest in several events for a relatively small stake.
Consisting of three selections, a patent is different to a conventional win accumulator, as you only need one of your selections to win to get some sort of return on your outlay.
This bet is particularly popular with horse racing punters and there is an added layer of intrigue when placing multiple bets with kwiff, as any bet within a system could get supercharged upon placement.
With seven bets in total, a patent is slightly more complicated than a traditional win accumulator, so we’ve listed everything you need to know about patent bets below.
What Is A Patent Bet?
A patent is a multiple bet which involves three selections, for a total of seven bets. This bet is a popular choice with horse racing punters, as you can get potential generous returns for a relatively small stake if you’re able to find a couple of winners.
You only need one of your three selections to win to get some sort of return from a patent, which can be broken down as three single bets, three doubles and a treble.
How Does A Patent Bet Work?
While a patent may seem quite complicated at first glance, it’s fairly simple to understand once broken down. Unlike with a straight treble, there are a few layers to a patent bet, which combines the three selections you pick out for a total of seven bets.
When placing a patent, you are effectively placing a total of seven bets in one, which can be broken down like this:
– Three single bets
– Three double bets
– One treble bet
A patent is popular with horse racing punters as you can potentially land yourself a generous return from a relatively small stake. For example, a £1 patent would cost you a total of £7 and you would only need one horse to win to get some sort of return from your bet. You would need all three selections to win to completely land a patent bet.
It is also possible to place a patent bet each-way on certain sports like horse racing, greyhound racing and selected outright sports markets and if you do that your stake will double, as you are effectively placing 14 bets rather than seven.
Don’t forget that with kwiff any bet within a system bet can be supercharged at any moment – potentially increasing your winnings if that leg was to win.
Patent Bet Example
You can place a patent bet using selections from any sport that allows single bets, but they are most popular with horse racing and greyhound racing punters.
A patent allows you to have an interest in several events for a relatively small stake and your returns can quickly mount up if you’re able to find more than one winner – with three winners landing the entire bet.
Let’s say that you have picked out three horses on a Saturday afternoon and would like to place the following patent:
– Frankel to win the 14.30 at Ascot at 1.50
– Sea The Stars to win the 15.00 at Ascot at 3.00
– Cyril The Squirrel to win the 20.00 at Wolverhampton at 6.50
If you were to place a £1 patent on the above selections, your total stake would be £7 and you would have placed a total of seven bets. Those bets can be broken down as three singles, three doubles and one treble, meaning that just one of your three selections would need to win to get you a return on your stake.
If Frankel was to win with the other two selections losing, your return would be £2.50, meaning a loss of £5.50. However, if Sea The Stars was to also win your return would be £9 (for a £2 profit) and if Cyril The Squirrel was to also win you would get back £74 (£67 profit) – showing how your returns can quickly grow with this multiple.
It’s also worth remembering that any bets within a multiple bet can be supercharged by kwiff, meaning that your returns could be even greater if those supercharged bets were to win.

Patent Betting At kwiff
Placing a system bet with kwiff is an exciting process, as any bet within a multiple can be supercharged upon placement, potentially meaning bigger returns.
Consisting of a total of seven bets, a patent might seem like a complicated way of betting on three selections, but it’s a relatively simple process. We’ve put together this step-by-step guide to placing a patent bet with kwiff below:
1. Log into your kwiff account and pick out your three selections for your patent. If you don’t already have a kwiff account, you will need to register at this point.
2. Load each of your three selections into the bet slip by clicking the odds next to their name.
3. You should be able to see each of your selections as single bets in the betslip. To place a patent you need to navigate to the ‘multiples’ tab in the top right hand corner.
4. You should see the option to place a straight ‘Acca’ bet (or a treble) and the option to place a patent below that. Enter your stake into the betslip next to patent.
5. You should see your potential returns listed. Once you are happy, select ‘place bets’. If you want to place the bet each-way, make sure you select that. It is at this point where you will see if any of your bets have been supercharged. Good luck!
Conclusion
A patent is a really popular multiple bet on kwiff, as you can cover three events in one go and also potentially get big returns for a relatively small outlay.
They’re most popular with horse racing and greyhound punters due to the fact that returns can be much greater with bigger priced selections, but you can place a patent using selections from practically any sport on kwiff.
When you place a system bet with kwiff, any of your seven bets within a patent (or 14 if you’re betting each-way) could potentially be supercharged, too, meaning that your returns could potentially be even greater if those bets land.
