Lucky 15 Example

Let's assume you're betting on horse racing, and you've chosen four horses in different races. We'll call them 'Horse A', 'Horse B', 'Horse C', and 'Horse D'. The odds for these horses are as follows:

Here's how the winnings would be calculated, assuming a £1 stake per bet (total stake of £15 since there are 15 bets):

1. Four Singles:
   • If Horse A wins, your return is £1 * (3 + 1) = £4
   • If Horse B wins, your return is £1 * (4 + 1) = £5
   • If Horse C wins, your return is £1 * (5 + 1) = £6
   • If Horse D wins, your return is £1 * (2 + 1) = £3
2. Six Doubles:
   • If Horse A and B win, your return is £1 * (3 + 1) * (4 + 1) = £20
   • If Horse A and C win, your return is £1 * (3 + 1) * (5 + 1) = £24
   • If Horse A and D win, your return is £1 * (3 + 1) * (2 + 1) = £12
   • If Horse B and C win, your return is £1 * (4 + 1) * (5 + 1) = £30
   • If Horse B and D win, your return is £1 * (4 + 1) * (2 + 1) = £15
   • If Horse C and D win, your return is £1 * (5 + 1) * (2 + 1) = £18
3. Four Trebles:
   • If Horse A, B, and C win, your return is £1 * (3 + 1) * (4 + 1) * (5 + 1) = £120
   • If Horse A, B, and D win, your return is £1 * (3 + 1) * (4 + 1) * (2 + 1) = £60
   • If Horse A, C, and D win, your return is £1 * (3 + 1) * (5 + 1) * (2 + 1) = £72
   • If Horse B, C, and D win, your return is £1 * (4 + 1) * (5 + 1) * (2 + 1) = £90
4. One Fourfold:
   • If Horse A, B, C, and D all win, your return is £1 * (3 + 1) * (4 + 1) * (5 + 1) * (2 + 1) = £360

In the best-case scenario where all of your horses win, you would add all these returns together to get a total return of £839. The profit would then be the total return minus the initial stake of £15. To experiment with different outcomes, use this link for a bet calculator preloaded with the above example.

Lucky 15 Bet v Yankee Bet

A Lucky 15 and a Yankee both involve four selections, but they differ in the number of bets placed. The primary difference is that a Lucky 15 includes single bets, meaning you get a return if any of your selections win, whereas, with a Yankee, you need at least two successful selections to get a return.

Lucky 15 Pros and Cons

How Does an Each Way Lucky 15 Work?

An each way Lucky 15 involves 30 bets instead of 15. You're betting on both the selection to win and to place. So, if you have four selections, you're betting on all four to win, all four to place, six doubles on the win, six place doubles, four win trebles, four place trebles, one win fourfold, and one place fourfold. You'll receive a payout if any of your selections win or place.
