- Check the return for each part plus your total profit
Formula
SSA Part 1 (A→B): Stake on A. If A wins, unit stake goes on B from the returns.
- A loses: return = 0
- A wins, B loses: return = (A_odds - 1) × stake
- A wins, B wins: return = (A_odds - 1) × stake + B_odds × stake
SSA Part 2 (B→A): Same logic reversed.
Total cost: 2 × unit stake
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Single Stakes About bet?
A Single Stakes About (SSA) is a conditional any-to-come (ATC) bet linking two selections. It has two parts: if selection A comes in, a unit stake is put on selection B, and the same the other way round. The whole thing costs 2 units.
How does an SSA differ from a double?
With a double, both selections have to win to get anything back. An SSA pays out if either one wins — the conditional bet only kicks in if the first part lands. So you can still come out ahead with just one winner.
What does any-to-come actually mean?
Any-to-come (ATC) just means the money from a winning bet rolls straight into funding the next one. In an SSA, when the first selection wins, the original unit stake gets placed on the second selection out of those winnings.
When is an SSA bet a good idea?
An SSA works well when you like two selections but want a bit of a safety net if one falls short. Unlike a double that needs both to win, an SSA can still turn a profit off a single winner at high enough odds.
