What is a Union Jack Bet? A bet on nine selections, consisting of between 8 and 80 bets depending on the type. Named after the Union Jack due to the way groupings are determined, by laying out the selections in a 3 by 3 grid then drawing lines vertically, horizontally and diagonally to find 8 groups of 3.

A bet on the Big 6 and 8 has a 9 percent house advantage (hint: that's a lot). A place bet ofR$6 (since it pays 7-to-6, you place a multiple ofR$6) has a house advantage of just 1.5 percent. You do what you want with your hard-earned clams, but this blog kind of has a crush on that 1.5 percent.
