Super Heinz Betting Explained

How It Works

If we assume that you fancy a day at the races and have taken a shine to seven horses across the schedule at Goodwood, these magnificent seven are coincidentally priced at the same odds of 4/1 (5.00)

This means we will be betting on all seven horses across the 120 different betting permutations. If we have set aside a stake of £1 per bet, our overall outlay would be £120 – not a small amount of money, but one that could return plenty of winnings.

Should no horses manage to enter the winner’s enclosure, you would draw a blank, and the same would be said for a single horse finishing first, as none of the 120 bets in the Super Heinz include singles.

Winners And Losers

Using our example bet, this is how our returns would play out across varying amounts of winners on the bet slip.

Two Winners

Two 4/1 winners at £5 per win. The double win is all you collect, and the total prize is £25 resulting in a £95 loss.

Three Winners

Should you see three horses declared a winner, this is where the Super Heinz starts to work for you rather than against you.

Three 4/1 winners at £5 per win. Add the three doubles together, and the prize money is £75. Add a treble win at £125; your total winnings are £200 with an overall £80 profit.

Not a lot of profit, but profit all the same, and should your luck continue with a fourth winner and beyond, then this is where things start to get interesting.

Four Winners

Four 4/1 winners at £5 per win. Add the six doubles together, and the prize money is £150. Add four treble wins at a total of £500 and a winning four-fold at £625. The total winnings are £1,275, and a £1,155 profit.

Five Winners

Five 4/1 winners at £5 per win. Add the ten doubles together, and the prize money is £250. Add ten more treble wins to add £1250 to the pot, five four-fold wins at £625 and a five-fold win at also £625. This brings in a total of £7,750 and a £7,630 profit.

Six Winners

Six 4/1 winners at £5 per win. Add the 15 doubles together, and the prize money is £375. Add 20 treble wins at a total of £2,500, another 15 four-folds at £9,375, six five-folds at £18,750 and one six-fold at £15,625. This brings in a total of £46,625 and £46,505 profit.

Seven Winners

Seven 4/1 winners at £5 per win. Add all 21 doubles together, and the prize money is £525. Add all 35 trebles and an extra £4,375, plus another 35 four-folds at £21,875, another 21 five-folds at £65,625, seven more six-folds at £109,375 and one accumulator win at £78,125. A massive £279,900 is your return and profit of £279,780.

Examples

For clarity, here are all the potential outcomes in the table below.

Like all combination bets, there are several caveats to consider. First, in the example above, the overall stake money is rather high. It could be pitched as high risk for higher reward, but it could be an expensive pitfall if all goes south and you fail to get the required number of wins.

However, there is a way to absorb such heavy outlay, and that is to make the stake far smaller. In this instance, instead of placing a stake of £1, you could opt for 10p. Yes, the winnings would decrease, but less financial exposure would exist.

Of course, the above example is where all seven horses are priced at the same odds of 4/1. It would be doubtful that a Super Heinz would be placed with this exact example, and therefore, you also need to account for variation in odds.

Should you have different odds to work with and the maths become a bit more complicated, you can always use our Super Heinz calculator to work out just what winnings you can dream of spending.

How To Place A Super Heinz Bet with Bet365

1. Select the relevant sport you want to bet on. For this example, we have selected basketball.

2. Then, select the seven basketball outcomes for your betting slip. Once they are selected, the bet will first be set up as a seven-fold accumulator. Press the ‘Show More Multiples’ arrow to unlock all the other available bets.

3. Then select the Super Heinz option before adding your stake amount. Now, you are ready to place your Super Heinz.

Reasons for making a Super Heinz Bet

Now that we have explained a Super Heinz bet, here are three reasons why you would place one:

• Higher Potential Payouts: With 120 different bets covering various combinations of selections, even a small initial stake can lead to significant returns if a majority of the selections turn out to be correct.
• Diversification and Variety: Placing a Super Heinz bet allows bettors to diversify their wagers across various selections and events. Unlike an accumulator, the diversified approach can also mitigate the impact of a single incorrect selection on the overall bet.
• Confidence in Multiple Selections: If a punter has confidence in multiple selections, a Super Heinz can leverage that confidence and add further value to any potential winnings they want to earn.

Like any betting type, there will always be benefits and drawbacks. With this in mind, we shall look at the plusses and minuses of a Super Heinz.

Conclusion

A Super Heinz bet presents both enticing benefits and considerable drawbacks. As with all forms of gambling, careful consideration of one's financial situation, risk tolerance, and knowledge of the sports or events being bet upon is crucial to making informed decisions.
