What is a treble bet?
A treble is a type of multiple bet where exactly three outcomes have been added to your Unibet betslip. Each selection must be correct for the bet to be settled as a winner. If just one result doesn’t go your way, the entire bet will be lost. The potential returns are dependent on the odds of each selection.
A treble bet is a great way of increasing the payout potential compared with a regular single or double, whilst also keeping the number of selections relatively small. This is why treble bets are one of the most popular multiple bets placed online.
Example of a treble bet
To place a treble, you must select the three different outcomes that will make up your bet. These can be from any sport or eligible market found at Unibet, but not from the same event.
For example, you could pick Manchester United to beat Tottenham Hotspur (odds: 2.80), Both Teams to Score between Liverpool and Arsenal (odds: 1.70), and for Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon (odds: 3.50).
When selected, they will be added to your betslip where the overall odds are updated automatically. If you were to place a €10 treble bet and each outcome is settled as a winner, the returns would be calculated as follows: (2.80 x 1.70 x 3.50) x €10 = €166.60.
Pros and cons of a treble bet
One advantage of placing a treble is that, for each outcome added to your betslip, the overall odds will be increased. This means the eventual returns can be relatively high if every selection is correct. The potential downside of placing a treble bet is that, despite the reduced number of selections, you're still increasing the risk compared with a single or double.

How to use the bet calculator
The Unibet Betting Odds Calculator makes it incredibly easy to instantly view the returns of your selected bet type and stake. You can also easily change the odds display from fractional to decimal in the top right corner of the page, as per your preference.
To begin, first you must decide which type of bet you are looking to place. The Unibet Calculator ranges from simple doubles, trebles and combinations through to more advanced Trixies, Yankees, Heinz and Lucky 63 multiples, etc.
For example, if you select a ‘Goliath’ multiple bet, this will generate eight blank selections that make up a Goliath bet. You must now enter the odds of each of your eight picks manually, followed by the stake per line.
By pressing ‘Calculate Now’ this will display the total stake required to place the bet, along with the Total Return and Total Profit. Another great tool is that you can easily switch each selection from being a Winner into a Lost or Void outcome. Your overall returns will be adjusting automatically after calculating the returns again. This is a great way of visualising how your bet will perform should one or more selections not be successful.
Additional betting considerations
For horse racing gamblers in particular, the Unibet Betting Odds Calculator includes the provision for Each Way betting. By selecting this, the fields will now include an option for you to adjust the Place odds (as displayed on the race betting page itself) and thus instantly calculate the returns if your horse were to finish in the applicable place positions.
Another provision is that of Rule 4 deductions. This is implemented in a horse race if a participant is withdrawn after you have placed your bet – therefore adjusting the odds. Depending on the horse that has been withdrawn, you can adjust the deduction manually by selecting either 5% to 20% per Euro bet. Finally, you can also adjust the outcome to that of a Dead Heat should multiple horses cross the finish line at exactly the same time.
