A Lucky 63 bet consists of 63 bets over six different selections. It has six singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-fold accumulators, six five-fold accumulators and one six-fold accumulator. Its popularity comes from the increased chance of achieving some sort of return, in contrast to a traditional accumulator which would rely on all six selections being successful.
Lucky 63 Bet Explained
How does a Lucky 63 Bet work? Well, when you place a Lucky 63 bet, you are placing 63 bets on six different selections. A £1 win-only Lucky 63 bet would, therefore, cost £63.
The amount won from a Lucky 63 bet depends on the number of selections that win and the price of each. Because a Lucky 63 bet contains single bets, only one win from the six selections is required for a return on the bet. It is unlikely though that should only one selection win, that a profit is generated.
The 63 bets consist of:
- 6 singles
- 15 doubles
- 20 trebles
- 15 four-fold accumulators
- 6 five-fold accumulators
- 1 six-fold accumulator

How many selections need to win for a Lucky 63 Bet to be profitable?
The amount won from a Lucky 63 will vary depending on the number of winning selections, and the price of each one. Unless the price of the winning selection is very high, there usually needs to be at least two or three winning selections. To demonstrate, here is an example.
Example: You bet £1 on a Lucky 63 at a total stake of £63. Each horse is priced at 3/1.
| Winning Selections | Return | Profit |
| 0 out of 6 | £0 | -£63 |
| 1 out of 6 | £4 | -£59 |
| 2 out of 6 | £24 | -£39 |
| 3 out of 6 | £124 | £61 |
| 4 out of 6 | £624 | £561 |
| 5 out of 6 | £3,124 | £3,061 |
| 6 out of 6 | £15,624 | £15,561 |
Whilst in the real work you probably wouldn’t have all your selections at odds of exactly 3/1, this Lucky 63 bet example does show that, in this case, three winning selections out of six were needed to break even. Four and five winning selections both generated a healthy profit.
Is a Lucky 63 Bet worth it?
One benefit of a Lucky 63 is that it significantly increases the chance of a return on a multiple bet. A traditional accumulator is lost when just one selection doesn’t win. If you’re more confident the majority of your selections will win, then a Lucky 63 will increase your chances of a positive return on your stake. It can be regarded as a higher stake, higher reward bet.
From a different perspective, the disadvantage of a Lucky 63 bet is the stake required. With 63 bets, the cost of placing a Lucky 63 can be very high. You need to consider if the increased chance of winning is worth this higher stake.
Is it possible to do an Each Way Lucky 63 Bet?
Yes. Each way Lucky 63 bets consist of 126 bets. 63 of the bets are to win, as in the bullet points above, and 63 extra bets are for the selections to place. We have another article that explains how each way bets work in more detail.
For example, the below shows how to make the Lucky 63 an each way bet on Ladbrokes:
As we can see, all you need to do is tick the box marked EW to make it an each way bet. It’s worth remembering that an each-way Lucky 63 will cost double that of a standard Lucky 63, as you’re covering your selection to place, as well as the win part of the bet. Then, click on the ‘Place Bets’ button, and you’ll have your Lucky 63 bet placed with your respective betting site.
What‘s the difference between a Lucky 63 Bet and a Heinz Bet?
A Heinz bet also features six selections, but there is a key difference. A Lucky 63 has 63 bets. In contrast, a Heinz has 57. It has six fewer bets as it does not feature the six singles bets. Therefore, the potential returns if all of the selections in your bet won would be greater through a Lucky 63 bet, as you’re covering the singles, as well as the various multiples which are included in this type of bet, compared to a Heinz.

A Lucky 63 Bet is made up of 63 bets which involve six different selections. The 63 bets include six singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, six five-folds and one six-fold
Having all six of your selections win would maximise your Lucky 63 winnings, but ultimately the odds of your selections will determine how many winners you need to break even. As long as all of your selections are at odds of evens or greater, you’ll only need three of them to win to ensure you make some sort of profit on your Lucky 63 bet.
A Lucky 63 bet will cost you 63 times your stake, so a £1 Lucky 63 bet would actually mean the overall cost is £63.
The difference between a Lucky 63 bet and a Heinz is that a Heinz doesn’t include any single bets, and is therefore made up of 57 rather than 63 bets. If you don’t want to bet on your selections as singles, you’re better off placing a Heinz than a Lucky 63.
If all six of your selections are correct, it means every one of your bets in your Lucky 63 will be paid out as a winner. But you’ll receive some sort of return if even one of your six selections is a winner.
