1973 Director June 329/1 Have you ever tried a Trixie, a Patent, a Roundabout or a Heinz?
1996 Sporting Life (Nexis) 6 Oct. 3 I had an £8 win Trixie and some Persian student friends of mine all told me it was a silly bet.
2007 Daily Record (Glasgow) (Nexis) 14 Apr. 14 John placed £20 on a trixie and was laughing when his selection paid £1611.25.
2010 Sun (Nexis) 29 Mar. (Super Goals section) 21 I had a tenner trixie a few years back which netted me over £5,500—not bad for a £40 stake.
