Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lucky 15 bet?
A Lucky 15 is a full cover bet consisting of 4 selections combined into 15 separate bets: 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 four-fold accumulator. The "lucky" aspect refers to the fact that you get a return with just one winner, unlike a Yankee which requires at least two winners.
Why is it called Lucky 15?
It's called Lucky 15 because it consists of exactly 15 bets (4+6+4+1=15) and is considered "lucky" because you're guaranteed a return if just one of your selections wins. Many bookmakers also offer bonus payouts for Lucky 15 bets, making them even more attractive.
How much does a Lucky 15 bet cost?
A Lucky 15 costs 15 times your unit stake. For example, if you bet $1 per line, your total stake would be $15. If you bet $10 per line, your total stake would be $150. The stake is multiplied by 15 because you're placing 15 separate bets.
What bonuses are available for Lucky 15 bets?
Many bookmakers offer special bonuses for Lucky 15 bets: typically double (or even triple) the odds on your single if only one selection wins, and a 10-25% bonus on total returns if all four selections win. These bonuses can significantly increase your potential returns.
What's the difference between a Lucky 15 and a Yankee?
A Yankee is essentially a Lucky 15 without the four singles. It consists of 11 bets (6 doubles + 4 trebles + 1 four-fold) and costs less, but requires at least two winners to get any return. The Lucky 15 includes singles, guaranteeing a return with just one winner.
How many winners do I need to make a profit on a Lucky 15?
This depends on the odds of your selections. With one winner, you'll get a return but likely not cover your total stake unless the odds are very high (14/1 or better). Typically, you need 2-3 winners at decent odds to make a profit, though bonuses can help with single winners.
Is a Lucky 15 bet good value?
Lucky 15 bets can offer good value, especially when bookmaker bonuses are factored in. They're popular for horse racing because of the bonus offers. However, the total stake is relatively high (15 units), so they work best when you have 4 confident selections at reasonable odds.
Can I place a Lucky 15 each-way bet?
Yes, you can place an each-way Lucky 15, which doubles your stake to 30 bets (15 win bets + 15 place bets). This provides even more coverage but at double the cost. Each-way Lucky 15s are popular in horse racing where place payouts are common.
