How do you calculate a Lucky 63 Bet?
Still asking ‘how does a Lucky 63 Bet work?’. It can help to see a Lucky 63 Bet explained in the form of an example, along with some more detail on how each part of the wager is calculated.Single bet = Horse odds
Double bet = Horse 1 odds x Horse 2 odds
Treble bet = Horse 1 odds x Horse 2 odds x Horse 3 odds
Fourfold = Horse 1 odds x Horse 2 odds x Horse 3 odds x Horse 4 odds
Fivefold = Horse 1 odds x Horse 2 odds x Horse 3 odds x Horse 4 odds x Horse 5 odds
Sixfold = Horse 1 odds x Horse 2 odds x Horse 3 odds x Horse 4 odds x Horse 5 odds x Horse 6 odds
To work out a potential payout, we must add a stake and the odds on each horse into the calculation. For simplicity’s sake, imagine all six of our horses have odds of 2/1, and our stake is £10.
Single bet – £10 x 2/1 = Total return £30 / Total profit £20
Double bet – £10 x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) = Total return £90 / Total profit £80
Treble bet – £10 x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) = Total return £270 / Total profit £260
Fourfold – £10 x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) = Total return £810 / Total profit £800
Fivefold – £10 x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) = Total return £2,430 / Total profit £2,420
Sixfold – £10 x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) x (2/1 + 1) = Total return £7,290 / Total profit £7,280
