Lucky 15, Yankee & Full-Cover Bet Calculator
Full-cover bets combine every double, treble and bigger multiple from your selections. A Lucky 15 is 15 bets on 4 selections (4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles, 1 fourfold); a Yankee drops the singles (11 bets). Patents, Lucky 31s and Lucky 63s include singles; Trixies, Canadians, Heinz and Goliaths do not.
Worked example
£1 Lucky 15 (£15 stake), four winners all at evens: singles 4 × £2 = £8, doubles 6 × £4 = £24, trebles 4 × £8 = £32, fourfold £16. Total return £80. A non-runner is treated as a winner at 1.0, so a fourfold with one non-runner becomes a treble. Bookmaker bonuses (such as a one-winner consolation) are not included because they vary.
FAQs
How many bets are in a Lucky 15?
15: 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 fourfold. Each way it is 30 bets.
What happens to a Lucky 15 with a non-runner?
Singles on the non-runner are refunded, and every multiple including it is reduced by one fold (for example a double becomes a single).
What is the difference between a Yankee and a Lucky 15?
A Yankee has no singles, so it is 11 bets rather than 15 and needs at least two winners for a return.
