Lucky 31

What is a Lucky 31 Bet?

A Lucky 31 is a comprehensive bet covering five selections, spread across 31 individual bets:

• 5 singles (1 bet on each selection)

• 10 doubles (each combination of two selections)

• 10 trebles (each combination of three selections)

• 5 four-fold accumulators (each combination of four selections)

• 1 five-fold accumulator (all five selections combined)

With this structure, a Lucky 31 requires only one selection to win to yield a return. However, the more winning selections, the higher your return will be, as multiple combinations pay out.

Bet Type	Total Bets
Single	5
Double	10
Treble	10
4-Fold	5
5-Fold	1
Total	31

Example Setup:

Suppose you choose five horses in separate races:

1. Horse 1

2. Horse 2

3. Horse 3

4. Horse 4

5. Horse 5

A Lucky 31 bet will break down as:

• 5 singles (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 individually)

• 10 doubles (e.g., 1 & 2, 1 & 3, etc.)

• 10 trebles (e.g., 1, 2, & 3)

• 5 four-folds (e.g., 1, 2, 3, & 4)

• 1 five-fold accumulator (1, 2, 3, 4, & 5)

Example Scenarios and Returns

Scenario 1: Only One Horse Wins

• Let’s say Horse 1 is the only winner.

• Result: You’ll receive a payout on Horse 1’s single bet, but it’s unlikely to cover your total stake unless the odds are very high.

Scenario 2: Two Horses Win

• Suppose Horse 1 and Horse 2 win.

• Payouts will be on:

  • 2 singles (1 and 2)

  • 1 double (1 & 2)

• Result: You’ll get a moderate return, as you’re collecting on both singles and the double.

Scenario 3: Three Horses Win

• Horse 1, Horse 2, and Horse 3 win, while Horses 4 and 5 lose.

• Payouts will be on:

  • 3 singles (1, 2, and 3)

  • 3 doubles (1 & 2, 1 & 3, 2 & 3)

  • 1 treble (1, 2, & 3)

• Result: Increased return due to successful singles, doubles, and a treble.

Scenario 4: Four Horses Win

• Horses 1, 2, 3, and 4 win, while only Horse 5 loses.

• Payouts will be on:

  • 4 singles (1, 2, 3, and 4)

  • 6 doubles

  • 4 trebles

  • 1 four-fold

• Result: Substantial return, with multiple levels of bets paying out.

Scenario 5: All Five Horses Win

• All Horses (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) win.

• Payouts will be on all 31 bets:

  • 5 singles

  • 10 doubles

  • 10 trebles

  • 5 four-folds

  • 1 five-fold accumulator

• Result: Maximum payout as all bets in the Lucky 31 succeed.

Why Choose a Lucky 31?

A Lucky 31 is ideal for bettors who want high potential returns with five selections, with the benefit that even a single win triggers a payout. This added coverage is helpful if you want multiple combinations to maximize your chances, especially when betting on events with varied outcomes.
