Lucky 63

What is a Lucky 63 Bet?

A Lucky 63 bet is a 6-selection wager that covers a wide range of outcomes, totaling 63 individual bets. It consists of:

• 6 singles (1 on each selection)

• 15 doubles (each combination of two selections)

• 20 trebles (each combination of three selections)

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

• 6 five-fold accumulators (each combination of five selections)

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

This setup means that even if only one of your selections wins, you’ll receive a payout, though the return increases as more selections are successful.

Example Setup

Imagine you choose six greyhound races with your selections as follows:

1. Dog 1

2. Dog 2

3. Dog 3

4. Dog 4

5. Dog 5

6. Dog 6

A Lucky 63 bet on these six selections would break down into 63 individual bets:

• 6 singles (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 individually)

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

• 20 trebles (e.g., 1, 2, & 3)

• 15 four-folds (e.g., 1, 2, 3, & 4)

• 6 five-folds (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5)

• 1 six-fold accumulator (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6)

Example Scenarios and Returns

Scenario 1: Only One Dog Wins

• Let’s say Dog 1 is the only winner.

• Result: You’ll get a payout on Dog 1’s single bet, but this amount is unlikely to cover your total stake unless the odds are quite high.

Scenario 2: Two Dogs Win

• Suppose Dogs 1 and 2 win.

• Payouts will be on:

  • 2 singles (1 and 2)

  • 1 double (1 & 2)

• Result: You’ll receive a moderate return, as the singles and double pay out.

Scenario 3: Three Dogs Win

• Dogs 1, 2, and 3 win, while Dogs 4, 5, and 6 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: Larger return than Scenario 2, as you’ll receive payouts on singles, doubles, and a treble.

Scenario 4: Five Dogs Win

• Dogs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 win, with only Dog 6 losing.

• Payouts will be on:

  • 5 singles

  • 10 doubles

  • 10 trebles

  • 5 four-folds

  • 1 five-fold

• Result: Significant return, as many levels of bets succeed.

Scenario 5: All Six Dogs Win

• All Dogs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) win.

• Payouts will be on all 63 bets:

  • 6 singles

  • 15 doubles

  • 20 trebles

  • 15 four-folds

  • 6 five-folds

  • 1 six-fold accumulator

• Result: Maximum payout. Many bookmakers also provide a bonus, such as a 25% increase on the return, if all six selections win.

Why Choose a Lucky 63 Bet?

The Lucky 63 is ideal for those looking to spread their risk across six selections, with potential for high returns if multiple selections win. Even if only one selection is successful, you’ll see a payout, while bonuses can further enhance returns if most or all selections are winners. This bet is especially popular in horse and greyhound racing, where bookmakers frequently offer bonuses and consolations on winning Lucky 63 bets.
