Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lucky 31 bet?
A Lucky 31 is a full cover bet consisting of 5 selections combined into 31 separate bets: 5 singles, 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds, and 1 five-fold accumulator. Like other "Lucky" bets, you're guaranteed a return with just one winner.
Why is it called Lucky 31?
It's called Lucky 31 because it consists of exactly 31 bets (5+10+10+5+1=31) and is considered "lucky" because the inclusion of singles guarantees a return if just one selection wins. Many bookmakers also offer bonus payouts for Lucky 31 bets.
How much does a Lucky 31 bet cost?
A Lucky 31 costs 31 times your unit stake. For example, if you bet $1 per line, your total stake would be $31. If you bet $10 per line, your total stake would be $310. This is more expensive than a Lucky 15 but offers greater potential returns.
What bonuses are available for Lucky 31 bets?
Many bookmakers offer special bonuses: typically double odds on your single if only one selection wins, and a 20-25% bonus on total returns if all five selections win. These bonuses can significantly boost your returns.
What's the difference between Lucky 31 and Lucky 15?
A Lucky 15 has 4 selections and 15 bets, while a Lucky 31 has 5 selections and 31 bets. The Lucky 31 costs more but offers significantly higher potential returns due to the extra selection and additional bet combinations.
How many winners do I need to profit on a Lucky 31?
This depends on the odds of your selections. With one winner you'll get a return but unlikely to profit unless odds are very high (30/1+). Typically, you need 2-3 winners at decent odds to make a profit, though bonuses can help with single winners.
What's the difference between Lucky 31 and Canadian/Super Yankee?
A Canadian (also called Super Yankee) is identical to a Lucky 31 without the 5 singles. It has 26 bets and costs less, but requires at least two winners to get any return. The Lucky 31 includes singles for guaranteed returns with one winner.
Can I place a Lucky 31 each-way bet?
Yes, you can place an each-way Lucky 31, which doubles your stake to 62 bets (31 win bets + 31 place bets). This provides even more coverage but at double the cost. Popular in horse racing where place payouts are common.
