A Union Jack Patent is 56 bets placed on 9 selections taking part in different events consisting of 8 Trixies and 24 Single bets. The name comes from the pattern made on the betting slip. The trebles are arranged in 3 rows of 3 selections, and bets are formed by combining the selections on each of the horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines, a pattern like the Union Jack.
