FAQs:
Why are they called “Lucky” bets?
The name “Lucky” is somewhat traditional and denotes the advantage these bets offer, as they can yield a return even if not all selections are successful. Many bettors consider them “lucky” because they can provide a profit with only a few correct picks.
How are returns calculated on Lucky 15, 31, 63 bets?
Returns are calculated based on the number of correct selections. Even if just one selection wins, a return is guaranteed. The potential payout increases with each additional successful pick.
Are Lucky 15, 31, 63 bets exclusive to horse racing?
No, while these bet types are popular in horse racing, they can be applied to other sports and events where multiple selections are made.
What is the advantage of placing a Lucky bet over a traditional accumulator?
The primary advantage is the increased chance of a return. In a standard accumulator, every selection must win for a return. With Lucky bets, even if only one selection is successful, there’s a payout, thus offering a “safety net.”
Can I combine different sports in a Lucky bet?
Yes, while traditionally associated with horse racing, there’s no restriction on mixing sports within a Lucky bet, as long as the bookmaker allows for such combinations.
