Lucky 15 Tips for Today
A Lucky 15 is a full cover bet featuring four selections. We’d urge you to take a look at our Lucky 15 tips for today, but before you do, we’re going to explain how these bets work and where and when you can place them.
What is a Lucky 15?
The four selections in a Lucky 15 combine to make 15 different bets. This means that the unit stake for this bet is multiplied by 15 to give you your total stake.
It’s a type of bet that if you get the level of the odds right, can bring in a decent return with just two winners and huge returns if three or four are successful. Yet the potential rewards have to be carefully balanced with the level of staking, considering that you are betting on 15 separate bets and the cost of them adds up.
With it being a tricky balance to strike, our AI-generated, daily Lucky 15 tips are very popular among visitors to BetIdeas.
How Does a Lucky 15 Work?
As we’ve said, a Lucky 15 has four selections combined to make 15 separate horse racing bets. Those bets are four singles, six doubles, four trebles and one fourfold accumulator.
You’ve covered all of the possible combinations of the four selections in the 15 bets. Remember, your unit stake will be multiplied by 15. So if you choose a unit stake of £1, it will cost you £15.
Many online betting sites give one or two types of bonus on a Lucky 15. If all four of your horse racing selections are winners then they will apply a percentage bonus to the winnings. Say 10%, for example.
If you only get one winner, some bookies will give you a consolation of multiplying the odds of that one winning horse. The odds might be doubled, or given an even bigger boost.
These added bonuses help to make this wager more attractive to the horse racing punter. Bettors are well rewarded when a Lucky 15 goes really right and somewhat protected when there are losers amongst the selections.
How to Work Out a Lucky 15
Let’s show you how to work out a Lucky 15 with an example. To keep it simple, we use odds that makes it easy to calculate returns.
- Horse A @ 2/1
- Horse B @ 2/1
- Horse C @ 2/1
- Horse D @ 2/1
Our unit stake on this bet is £1, meaning a £15 total stake. We now break down what the returns would be on this bet, for various different results. In this example, we won’t apply any additional bonuses for only one winner, or all four horses being winners.
- 0 Winners = -£15 (0 winning bets – £15 stake)
- 1 Winner = -£12 loss (1 single winner = £3 total return -£15 stake)
- 2 Winners = £0 break even (2 singles winners + 1 double winner = £15 total return – £15 stake)
- 3 Winners = £48 profit (3 singles winners + 3 doubles winners + 1 treble winner = £63 total return – £15 stake)
- 4 Winners = £240 profit (4 singles winners + 6 doubles winners + four trebles winner + 1 four-fold acca winner = £255 total return – £15 stake)
So, in this example, two winners was the break even point. Many bookies at least double the odds if you just get one winner. So with double odds, the return on one winner would be £5, resulting in a £10 loss overall.
Three winners is where we hit profit and it’s a good return on our investment. With four winners we enjoy a big win. Many bookies also give an all-winners bonus of at least 10%, so the return could be even larger.
Hopefully, you get an idea from this example of how this impacts your returns. It’s a good idea to play around on a bet calculator before placing a Lucky 15, to see what the various levels of return will be.
