What is a Lucky 15 Bet?

Lucky 15 is a technique used in sports betting, mostly in horse racing and similar sports. It entails making 4 selections of exactly 15 bets - they could be either multiple entries at the same event or multiple fixtures of various sports. The bets include 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 four-fold accumulator.

This bet type awards a bonus if all your selections win and a consolation prize if only one of your selections loses. The value of the winner bonus varies among sites, but most bookmakers offer at least 10%. As for the consolation bonus, most platforms double your odds if only one selection loses.

Lucky 15 bets are similar to Yankee bets; however in addition to six doubles, four trebles and 1 four-fold of the Yankees, they also give you four singles. They are a great way for experienced punters to increase the risk and payout compared to just making plain single bets. We recommend making Lucky 15 and other advanced bets only if you are well acquainted with the sport in question.

How Lucky 15 Bets Work

Basically, whenever you make Lucky 15 bets, you select 4 outcomes and make 15 bets out of them. To give you an example, let's imagine that you're a Formula 1 fan, and you are betting for the outcome of Monza GP. You predict that the final classification will look like this:

So, how do these four predictions make 15 bets? Let's take a closer look! Essentially, in addition to single bets - that each of the drivers will finish in the predicted positions - you also make additional doubles bets that Hamilton and Verstappen will finish P1 and P2, Hamilton and Russell will finish P1 and P3, and so forth for each driver pair. A similar thing happens with trebles and, subsequently, four-fold, which is a bet that all four drivers will finish in these exact spots. Let's imagine that the race ends like this.

You almost got it to bang on, but, unfortunately, Leclerc had a slow pit-stop and lost out on P4. Since you predicted 3 driver positions correctly, 7 of your 15 bets won. From the singles, 1, 2 and 3 won, but 4 lost. Of the doubles, 1+2, 1+3 and 2+3 won, while 4+1, 4+2 and 4+3 lost; from trebles 1+2+3 won, but 1+3+4 and 2+3+4 lost. And, of course, four-fold isn't correct either.

If you want to stake £1 on each bet, the grand total will be £15, seeing as there are 15 bets in total.

Why Lucky 15 Bets are Important

The first and perhaps the most rewarding reason to place Lucky 15 bets is that you only need one winning selection to make a return on your bet. Unlike the conventional accumulator bet, you don't lose all your stake if just one bet selection loses.

Betting is a game of chance, so if you feel like a particular set of games can return some positive results, then a Lucky 15 bet is a good way to boost your winnings. You may not win all of your bets, but you will get a sizable chunk of money if you win just one bet selection with the Lucky 15 bet.

Further, once you win all four different selections, you will get a reward that ranges from 10% to 30% of your odds in addition to the usual win. Both the regular win and the extra reward will make the profit increase exponentially.

Lucky 15 Strategy

Lucky 15 bets may not be theal choice for people who find it hard to play multiple bet selections, and that's fine. However, those who like multiple bet selections can fine-tune their Lucky 15 selection process even better with the following tips:

1. Use the Lucky 15 calculator before betting

Our Lucky 15 bet calculator is an easy-to-use tool for determining the total winnings, your outlay, return and profits. If you are not sure whether your selections will win, the calculator allows you to calculate losses too.

2. Keep your total stake fairly minimal

Unlike single bets, the total outcome of your Lucky 15 bet doesn't depend on one game but on a series of 15 bets in different events. By making a Lucky 15, you're effectively placing 15 bets at once. Your total will increase 15x. This is why you should keep your bets within a reasonable bankroll until having the necessary experience to bet high.

3. Do your research thoroughly

Despite being an advanced accumulator bet, Lucky 15 bets require good research to have a foothold. You should research each team's most recent games, head-to-heads, player selections, and game predictions.

Also, you have to bet on sports you know well. While this betting technique can be used in multiple sports, it's notal to wager on the one that beats your understanding. So, try to understand how the sport works basically before making a Lucky 15 bet.

4. Go for the best odds

Odds vary across different bookmakers, which is why you should play at platforms that offer favourable odds because that invariably increases your total returns. Also, often less popular games will offer the best odds, so keep an eye out for smaller leagues and sports events. Who knows, maybe competitive rock-paper-scissors will yield you bigger wins than the Premier League?
