What Is a Lucky 63 Bet?

A Lucky 63 bet is made up of six selections and these are usually six horses to win a race, seeing as this type of bet is very popular on horse racing betting sites. However, It gets more complicated as these six selections are then spread out across 63 individual parts of the bet:

  • 6 singles
  • 15 doubles
  • 20 trebles
  • 15 four-fold accumulators
  • 6 five-fold accumulators
  • 1 six-fold accumulator

This means the stake is multiplied by 63 and in order to get any return, at least one of the selections needs to come through. Of course, the ultimate goal is for all of the selections to win. The difference between a Lucky 63 and a Lucky 31 bet is that one selection is added to the mix, thus affecting the individual parts. If this sounds complicated still, read on for more details and examples.

How to Place a Lucky 63 Bet

It might sound like a hassle, but placing a Lucky 63 bet is actually a very easy process on all of the betting sites. This is because it works just like any other betting type, meaning you simply have to add the five selections to your bet slip. Once you have added the selections, you just need to look for the Lucky 63 option in the bet slip and enter your stake.

It is important to remember that the stake will be multiplied by 63 when placing a Lucky 63 bet, which also means the total cost can get quite large. As an example, a £1 bet on a Lucky 63 bet would result in a £63 outlay in total. This is a significant amount of money, but a large potential profit would be up for grabs.

This bet is often used on horse racing, but there is nothing stopping you from placing a Lucky 63 bet on one of the best football betting sites. How exactly does it work in practice, though? Let's take a look at a specific example, based on a punter choosing six horses to win separate races, which is needed for a Lucky 63 bet. It would then look as follows:

  • 6 Singles

    • Horse A to win
    • Horse B to win
    • Horse C to win
    • Horse D to win
    • Horse E to win
    • Horse F to win
  • 15 Doubles

    • Horse A + Horse B to win
    • Horse A + Horse C to win
    • Horse A + Horse D to win
    • Horse A + Horse E to win
    • Horse A + Horse F to win
    • Horse B + Horse C to win
    • Horse B + Horse D to win
    • Horse B + Horse E to win
    • Horse B + Horse F to win
    • Horse C + Horse D to win
    • Horse C + Horse E to win
    • Horse C + Horse F to win
    • Horse D + Horse E to win
    • Horse D + Horse F to win
    • Horse E + Horse F to win
  • 20 trebles

    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse C to win
    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse D to win
    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse E to win
    • Horse A + Horse C + Horse D to win
    • Horse A + Horse C + Horse E to win
    • Horse A + Horse D + Horse E to win
    • Horse A + Horse C + Horse F to win
    • Horse A + Horse D + Horse E to win
    • Horse A + Horse D + Horse F to win
    • Horse A + Horse E + Horse F to win
    • Horse B + Horse C + Horse D to win

    • Horse B + Horse C + Horse F to win
    • Horse B + Horse D + Horse E to win
    • Horse B + Horse D + Horse F to win
    • Horse B + Horse E + Horse F to win
    • Horse C + Horse D + Horse E to win
    • Horse C + Horse D + Horse F to win
    • Horse C + Horse E + Horse F to win
    • Horse D + Horse E + Horse F to win
  • 15 Four-Fold Accumulators

    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse C + Horse D to win
    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse C + Horse E to win
    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse C + Horse F to win
    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse D + Horse E to win
    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse D + Horse F to win
    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse E + Horse F to win
    • Horse A + Horse C + Horse D + Horse E to win
    • Horse A + Horse C + Horse D + Horse F to win
    • Horse A + Horse C + Horse E + Horse F to win
    • Horse A + Horse D + Horse E + Horse F to win
    • Horse B + Horse C + Horse D + Horse E to win
    • Horse B + Horse C + Horse D + Horse F to win
    • Horse B + Horse C + Horse E + Horse F to win
    • Horse B + Horse D + Horse E + Horse F to win
    • Horse C + Horse D + Horse E + Horse F to win
  • 1 Six-Fold Accumulator

    • Horse A + Horse B + Horse C + Horse D + Horse E + Horse F to win

The Lucky 63 bet can give you a big payday but it is also difficult to land, and you will likely need two or more selections to land to make a profit (depending on the odds). If you want to avoid placing the singles in this bet, we recommend a Heinz bet, which is essentially the same but does not include the single bets.
