What Is A Lucky 15 Bet?
Known as one of the most interesting bets, the Lucky 15 is a multiple bet involving 4 selections, amounting to 15 individual bets. In order to make a return, you need just one of the four selections to be settled as successful, making it a type of ‘cover’ bet, unlike accumulator bets, which require all selections to be successful. Let’s take a look at how Lucky 15 bets are formatted:
•
6 Doubles (A+B, A+C, A+D, B+C, B+D, C+D)
•
4 Trebles (A+B+C, A+B+D, A+C+D, B+C+D)
Effectively, the Lucky 15 bet is the same as a Yankee bet, except the Lucky 15 bet includes 4 single bets, whilst the Yankee bet does not. The Lucky 15 bet requires all of the bet stakes to be the same, so using a bet stake is crucial to ensure that every bet features the same wagered amount. Lucky 15 bets are most commonly seen throughout football and horse racing bets, and can be used alongside
free bets when placing sports bets.
Lucky 15 bets can be quite confusing due to the number of selections and the combinations they must be placed in. Due to their complex nature, they are not as popular as other forms of betting, such as accumulator bets, yet understanding how they work can help you make the most of your betting.

To use the Lucky 15 calculator, it is essential to have all of the bet information ready to input into the calculator, and it is important to make sure you are entering the correct details.
