What is a full cover bet?
A full cover bet is a combination bet covering all possible bets from doubles upwards, depending on the number of selections chosen. The customer chooses any number of selections from three upwards, selects win or each way and then states their given stake unit for the bet. The stake unit is multiplied by the total number of bets to give the total bet stake.
Examples of popular full cover bets are detailed below.
