What is a lucky 15 bet?
< Return to what is a goliathGo to what is a Lucky 31 >
The
'Lucky💵 15' bet is a popular multiple bet, which involves 4 selections, amounting to 15
invdividual bets across those. This bet💵 type consists of 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4
trebles and 1 four-fold accumulator. In order to gain a return, the💵 bettor requires
just one of the four selections to be settled as a winner.
Bettors wishing to cover a
range of💵 outcomes and bundle numerous wagers into one multiple bet could consider the
Lucky 15 bet. This type of bet allows💵 punters to make four selections and 15 different
wagers from those selections.
Four, three, two or just one of those selections💵 can win
and the bettor can make a return. The bet is called a Lucky 15 because in certain
scenarios,💵 a bettor can earn bonuses from bookmakers and add more money to their
winnings.
Lucky 15s are more expensive to place💵 that regular bets. This is because for
every bet placed, a new stake is being added. For example, if the💵 punter wishes to
place a £2 unit stake per leg, this total would rise to £30 overall because a £2💵 unit
stake is being placed on each of the 15 bets.

Lucky 15
bets
As part of💵 a Lucky 15 bet, punters make four selections and 15 bets are placed
from those: one four-strong accumulator bet, four💵 single bets, six double bets and four
treble bets. These selections must be made across different events: for example, four
💵 different football matches or four different horse races. A punter who wants to make
numerous selections in one single event💵 should explore their options within the range
of forecast bets that are available from most bookmakers.
To get a clearer
understanding💵 of how the Lucky 15 works, it is worthwhile applying it to a real-world
scenario based around a weekend of💵 football.
In this scenario, the bettor has selected
four matches: Manchester City v Huddersfield Town, Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion,
💵 West Ham United v Newcastle United and Leicester City v Cardiff City. From those
matches, they have made the following💵 predictions:
Manchester City will beat
Huddersfield Town
Liverpool will beat Brighton & Hove Albion
West Ham United will beat
Newcastle United
Leicester City will💵 beat Cardiff City

victorious. This is why the bet has the💵 name Lucky 15.

Other kinds of multiple bets
A Lucky 15 is a form of multiple💵 bet and there are many
different variations on this type of wager available to punters, each one offering a
different💵 number of selections and bets.
A double bet and a treble bet mean punters
make two and three different selections respectively.💵 If they all win then the bettor
wins the bet and makes a return. A Trixie bet is a slightly💵 different spin on a treble
bet in that three different selections are made. However, four rather than three bets
are💵 placed within a Trixie bet. These are: three double bets and one treble bet. This
offers the punter a little💵 security: one selection can fail to win and they will still
make a return because of the three double bets💵 that have been included.
Patent bets,
yankee bets and Canadian bets allow punters to make multiple selections and wagers,
like in💵 Lucky 15s. Within these options, a bettor can make three selections and seven
bets (patent bet), four selections and 11💵 bets (yankee bet) or five selections and 26
bets (Canadian bets). A patent bet also has the benefit of allowing💵 singles, so that
even if just one of the selections made wins, the bettor will still make some form of💵 a
return.

Some other bets offer even more selections and
bets. The heinz bet allows for💵 six selections and 57 bets, the super heinz allows for
seven selections and 120 bets and the goliath bet allows💵 for eight selections and 247
bets.
Lucky 15s are good options for punters who are looking to widen the net with
💵 their predictions. They offer more security than many kinds of bets and are therefore
more likely to make a return💵 of some kind. They can be quite complicated to place, but
are less complicated than the likes of a heinz,💵 super heinz or goliath bet. However, it
is important that anyone looking to make this kind of a bet does💵 so with clear
information about the sport they are betting on and the participants they are
selecting. Those who place💵 a Lucky 15 without this knowledge may find themselves losing
out.
