Alphabet

Hey,

Anyone ever heard of any Alphabet, apparantly it is as follows:

A bet consisting of six selections - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, usually on horse racing or greyhound racing. Selections 1, 2, and 3 form a patent, as described above. Selections 4, 5, and 6 form a second patent. Selections 2, 3, 4, and 5 form a Yankee, as described above. Selections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 form a sixfold accumulator, as described above. The total number of bets in an alphabet is therefore 26 [2 patents at 7 bets each, plus 1 yankee at 11 bets, and one accumulator at one bet - (7+7+11+1=26)]. At least one correct selection guarantees a return.

Does anyone know of a high street bookie that takes such a bet?

Cheers

Just been playing with the http://www.free-bet-calculator.co.uk/ using quite short prices horses, 1.44 - 4.5. If not using e/w the three longest shots (4.5, 3.75, 2.75) need to win to make a profit.

Yes, Just go in and fill your first 3 horses down as a patent then your other 3 on a separate patent, fill out your yankee slip and write down your accumulator..
