Lucky 15

A Lucky 15 is fifteen bets on four selections in different races: four singles, six doubles, four trebles and one four-fold.

What it costs

Multiply your stake by fifteen. £1 a line costs £15, and £1 each way costs £30, because each way doubles the number of bets.

What it pays

Because there are singles in the bet, one winner returns something. Take £1 a line on four horses, all at 3/1. One winner returns £4. All four winning returns £624 from your £15: £16 from the singles, £96 from the doubles, £256 from the trebles and £256 from the four-fold.

Bookmaker bonuses

Many bookmakers pay double or treble odds if you only find one winner, and add a bonus if all four win. The offers change, so check before you bet.

Lucky 15 or Yankee?

A Yankee is the same bet without the four singles: eleven bets, and you need two winners to get anything back.
