What Is a Flag Bet?
A Flag bet, is just a bastardised version of an already existing type of bet, with the inclusion of an ‘any to come’ element to that bet.
For example, a Heinz, Super Heinz, and Goliath bet all have flag variations (Heinz Flag, Super Heinz Flag and Goliath Flag), where the ‘Flag’ element adds Up-And-Down single stakes about (SSA) pairs to the bet. In addition to these three-bet types, a ‘Flag’ bet, is a Yankee with the addition of SSA Pairs, and a ‘Super Flag’ is a Super Yankee with the addition of SSA Pairs. The Flag element does not add any additional ‘selections’ to your bet, if you are choosing 5 selections for a Super Yankee, then you will also be choosing the same 5 selections for a Super Flag.
This is illustrated below:
| Super Heinz | ||
| No Of Selections | No Of Bets | |
| 7 | 120 | 1 x 7 Fold Acca, 7 x 6 Fold Acca, 21 x 5 Fold Acca, 35 x 4 Fold Acca, 35 trebles, 21 Doubles |
| Super Heinz Flag | ||
| No Of Selections | No Of Bets | |
| 7 | 162 | 1 x 7 Fold Acca, 7 x 6 Fold Acca, 21 x 5 Fold Acca, 35 x 4 Fold Acca, 35 trebles, 21 Doubles, 21 SSA Pairs |
So in the above example, the addition of the ‘Flag’ any to come element to the Super Heinz bet, has no impact on the number of selections, just the volume of bets with the addition of SSA Pairs. This is exactly the same for ‘Every’ Type of flag bet, of which there are a few.
