Formula
A Flag bet on 4 selections consists of:
- 6 doubles (C(4,2))
- 4 trebles (C(4,3))
- 1 four-fold accumulator (C(4,4))
- 12 SSA bets (6 pairs × 2 directions) Total: 23 bets
SSA (Single Stakes About): For each pair (A,B), two bets:
- A→B: Stake on A. If A wins, unit stake goes on B.
- B→A: Stake on B. If B wins, unit stake goes on A.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Flag bet?
A Flag is a full-cover bet on 4 selections taking in every double, every treble, and the four-fold accumulator — plus 12 Single Stakes About (SSA) any-to-come bets. That’s 23 bets in all.
How does SSA work inside a Flag?
SSA (Single Stakes About) pairs up each two-selection combination with conditional bets. If the first wins, a unit stake goes on the second, and vice versa. That layers 12 extra bets — 6 pairs × 2 directions — on top of the standard Yankee.
What does a Flag bet cost?
A Flag runs to 23 × your unit stake. At $1 a unit, you’re laying out $23.
Flag vs Yankee — what's the difference?
A Yankee is 11 bets: the doubles, trebles, and four-fold. A Flag piles 12 SSA any-to-come bets on top of that, taking the total to 23 bets.
