What Is A Lucky 15 Bet ? | A Definitive Guide To Betting Lucky 15's
One of the most popular bets to bet on is the Lucky 15. Used by many punters both online and in the high street bookies it is a great way of increasing your potential winnings.
Why is this? Well, quite simply the Lucky 15 is made up of 15 bets instead of the one bet if you have placed a single. If you are lucky enough to get all 4 selections to win the odds increase dramatically, thus boosting your payout.
Generally, the stakes on a Lucky 15 will be smaller than what you see on single bets and this is because a Lucky 15 has a total of 15 bets as you can see in the table below. So whereas you might place a £10 single bet if you used the same staking your Lucky 15 would cost you £150.
Lucky 15 Bet Breakdown
As you can see the Lucky 15 is made up of 4 single bet’s, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 fourfold making a total of 15 bets in all.

But if you placed a £1 Lucky 15 bet that would cost you £15. Here is an example of the potential returns you could have if you were lucky enough to get all four winners up.
So for this example, we are going to say we have four winners at odds of 2/1, 3/1, 4/1 5/1. So four winners will produce a return of £839 a profit of £824 on your initial £15 stake.
If you place a £10 single bet and it won at 5/1 your total return would be £60. So you can see the potential of having more selections, but we must stress getting 4 winners will be harder.
The beauty of a Lucky 15 over the Yankee is that even if you have only one winner you get a return as they pay out on singles too whereas the Yankee you need a double to get a return.
There are even bookmakers that offer double the odds if you do have only one winner so it is an idea to look out for these. On top of the only one winner bonus, you may be eligible for a bonus on all 4 winners.
For those that like to back horses at long odds you can also back each way but this would double your bets to 30.
The Best Bookmakers To Place A Lucky 15
Below is a list of our favorite bookies to place our Lucky 15 bets. Betfred offer a 10% bonus if all four selections are winners. But if you do pick just the one winner they will pay you out at 3X the odds.
