What Is A Lucky 63 Bet?

A Lucky 63 is a combination bet that is made up of 63 bets of the same value on selections spread over six different events.

Typically this takes the form of six singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfold accumulators, six fivefold accumulators, and one sixfold accumulator.

This mix of singles, doubles and various accumulators are all rolled together into one massive multiple.

With each of these 63 bets being of the same value it means that a £1 Lucky 63 will cost the bettor £63 and on learning this some may baulk, believing it to be too costly.

First and foremost, a bettor must always bet within their means.

If the outlay is affordable and agreeable to the individual, however, a Lucky 63 offers up such a large number of pluses as to be a very attractive proposition to many in the betting community.  

What are these pluses? Well, the most obvious one lies in the possibility of all six selections coming in, an outcome that would pay out an enormous sum.

It’s also worth noting too that some bookmakers reward the bettor with a bonus should this rarity occur, usually in the region of 25%.

But the beauty of a Lucky 63 bet is that hitting the jackpot is not necessary to make a profit. Indeed, should only one winner emerge from the six selections that will still trigger one of the six singles bets and prompt a pay-out. 

It is common in this instance – when only one win comes in - that a bookmaker will again add to the tally, offering a ‘consolation’ that typically doubles the amount.

Beyond that there is a sliding scale of pay-outs, depending on how many bets are successful and for a handy guide regarding this please check out the horse racing section below.

The last detail still to be explained lies in ‘events’ and what constitutes them. Simply put, an event could be a horse or greyhound race, a football match, or a rugby match. 

How Do I Calculate Winnings? 

Until you hit your stride and get used to Lucky 63 betting, it can be a complicated business working out the different permutations and what each pays out.

Thankfully you don’t have to, with 888 being one of several bookmakers that offer a Lucky 63 calculator onsite. 

Easy to use and mobile friendly, it displays the total stake of all bets involved, and the combined odds that users can receive if individual or all legs of the bet come in.

Lucky 63 Horse Racing Bet

Let’s take a look at a Lucky 63 bet that focuses on horse racing, in this instance for a meeting at Wolverhampton.

First, six horses are chosen to make up the bet. The horses in question are detailed in the graphic below. This is for a £1 Lucky 63 Bet with the total cost of the bet being £63.

As the graphic shows, the overall return for picking six winners in this example would be just over £14,000 for an initial stake of just £63.

Six winners is clearly the ‘jackpot’ payout in the Lucky 63 bet, but because it has total coverage it is also worth looking at the payouts that could be earned from having less winners on this bet:

• Five winners: possible payout £3,331

• Four winners: possible payout £941

• Three winners: possible payout £215

Even if only half of the selections on this Lucky 63 Bet are successful, it is possible to have a return of two-and-half times the initial stake!

Lucky 63 Football Bet

The Lucky 63 bet can also be used when betting on other sports with football always a popular option.

Naturally, there are a multitude of markets to bet on when it comes to football, with the live betting markets – to use just one example - a perfect fit for its ever-changing narratives.

Here though we’re going old-school and focusing on finding draws. 

Successfully predicting draws can be tough, but the rewards are usually good with the prices offered on our platforms.

In this example we have chosen six teams who are slightly superior to their opponents but all of whom are playing away.

Note that you can combine matches from all the major leagues offered, the most prominent being La Liga in Spain, Serie A in Italy, the German Bundesliga and England’s Premier League.

Again keeping each individual bet to £1 we find that our return on securing a clean sweep of six draws – according to the calculator – is a bumper £12,500. 

Additionally, as we have shown with our previous example on horse racing, the payouts are significant on a Lucky 63 at these odds even if you have only manged to get a percentage of the selections correct!

In this case:

• Five draws: potential returns £2877

• Four draws: potential returns £563

The next time that you are considering betting on the draws in football, Lucky 63 betting is well worth serious consideration!
