It may sound like an improved recipe for baked beans but a Super Heinz is an exciting type of accumulator that offers up numerous ways to beat the bookie.
Let’s break it all down so it makes sense.
What Is A Super Heinz Bet?
A Super Heinz bet is a specialist multiple that consists of seven selections.
These selections may be seven football teams you predict will win on Saturday afternoon. Or seven horses fancied to finish first across various meetings.
Whatever they may be, these selections are then combined into 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 fourfold accumulators, 21 fivefold accumulators, seven sixfold accumulators, and one sevenfold accumulator.
There are now 120 bets being made, all under the one umbrella bet known as a ‘Super Heinz’.
A £1 Super Heinz costs £120. A £1 each-way Super Heinz costs £240. Many bookmakers however will allow a stake to be as low as 10p. A 10p Super Heinz would cost £12.
It is essentially the mother of all accumulators and with that comes a vast number of pluses, as well as a couple of downsides. Let’s start with the disadvantages first.
Super Heinz Pros and Cons
Due to its sheer scale a Super Heinz is unquestionably a rather cumbersome bet, and subsequently it can be difficult to keep track of how successful – or otherwise – the bet is as events unfold in real-time on the pitch or racetrack.
To many bettors this isn’t a problem but some prefer their betting to be more straightforward and easier to follow.
There is also the cost to consider. Even a 50 stake requires a £60 outlay and that can understandably put beginners and casual bettors off.
Lastly, unlike many other accumulators, a Super Heinz does not contain any singles bets. This means that if only one of your seven selections comes in there is no return.
When totting up the many positives of a Super Heinz what is striking is that some of the biggest benefits are a direct counter-point to the negatives noted above.
Granted, it contains no singles, but with a whopping 21 doubles and 35 trebles there are a great many opportunities to receive a pay-out even if your bet is only partially successful.
A Super Heinz has a wider safety net than any other multiple and furthermore offers up a chance to win big despite losing here and there along the way.
As for the price, naturally that results in heightened rewards should the bet prove successful.
A normal seven selection accumulator for example, in which all your selections are priced at 2/1, will give you odds of 2,187/1. With the Super Heinz bet and the addition of the other 119 betting lines, these odds rise to a staggering 16,362/1.
Even the difficult-to-follow nature of the bet can be viewed through a positive prism.
While some bettors like to make their selection then go about their day, others much prefer to make it an immersive experience.
And with 120 bets spread across multiple events you are suddenly invested in a broad range of matches or races where every goal or furlong matters.
Only live betting can rival a Super Heinz in this regard.
Super Heinz Example
Let’s use football in this instance, and on a particular weekend you fancy Liverpool, Aston Villa, Brighton, and Fulham to all win their respective matches in the Premier League and for Sunderland, Swansea and Hull to do likewise in the Championship.
The odds on each team vary from 4/5 to 4/1.
If only Liverpool and Swansea win from these seven selections you can still expect a small return, because one of your 21 doubles bets has come in.
If Liverpool, Swansea and Hull win you will receive a greater pay-out, because now you have secured a treble in addition to three of your 21 doubles (Liverpool/Swansea, Swansea/Hull, Hull/Liverpool).
This can be extrapolated to fourfolds, fivefolds and upwards.
It’s important to remember that from trebles on not every combination is included, because otherwise your Super Heinz would consist of over a million bets.
So many are though, and should you call five of the seven right you can expect an extremely healthy pay-out. If you hit all seven it’s time to pop those champagne corks.
Why Is It Called Super Heinz?
Famously, the food giant Heinz prided itself on offering 57 varieties of condiments, this being a staple of their advertising campaigns for decades.
A Super Heinz is an expansion on a long-established six-selection Heinz bet that was so-called because it contained 57 different bets.
