The Lucky 63 is the largest of the popular Lucky family of system bets — 6 selections generating 63 individual bets. It is the full-cover equivalent of a Super Heinz, with the crucial addition of singles.
How a Lucky 63 Works
Pick 6 selections. The bet generates:
- 6 singles — one bet per selection
- 15 doubles — every pair
- 20 trebles — every trio
- 15 four-folds — every group of four
- 6 five-folds — every group of five
- 1 six-fold accumulator — all six together
Total: 63 bets. The formula is 2^6 - 1 = 63.
Lucky 63 vs Super Heinz
| Feature | Lucky 63 | Super Heinz |
|---|---|---|
| Selections | 6 | 6 |
| Total bets | 63 | 57 |
| Includes singles | Yes | No |
| Minimum winners for return | 1 | 2 |
| Cost at £1/line | £63 | £57 |
The extra £6 for singles is excellent insurance when backing uncertain selections.

When to Use a Lucky 63
The Lucky 63 suits:
- Full-day horse racing cards where you have 6 selections across the afternoon
- Saturday football accumulators where you want protection on 6 matches
- Bettors comfortable with a £63+ outlay who want maximum coverage
Is a Lucky 63 Worth It?
The Lucky 63 rewards bettors who consistently find winners at decent odds. If you regularly land 3-4 winners from 6 selections, the combination returns provide genuine value. If your strike rate is lower, the high outlay may not justify the returns. Consider stepping down to a Lucky 31 or Lucky 15.
