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
Define the Flag bet.
A Flag is a full-cover bet over 4 selections carrying all doubles, trebles, and the four-fold accumulator, plus 12 Single Stakes About (SSA) any-to-come bets — 23 bets in total.
How does SSA operate within a Flag?
SSA (Single Stakes About) attaches conditional bets to each two-selection combination. If the first wins, a unit stake is placed on the second, and the reverse applies too. This contributes 12 extra bets (6 pairs × 2 directions) on top of the standard Yankee.
What is the cost of a Flag bet?
A Flag equals 23 × your unit stake. At $1 per unit the total outlay comes to $23.
Flag versus Yankee — what differs?
A Yankee holds 11 bets (doubles, trebles, and the four-fold). A Flag layers 12 SSA any-to-come bets onto the Yankee, reaching 23 bets in total.
