How to use the bet calculator
- Pick the bet type. For singles, doubles, trebles and accumulators, choose how many selections you have. Full-cover bets such as a Yankee set the number for you.
- Enter your stake per bet. This is the stake for each line, not the whole bet. A £1 Yankee costs £11 because it contains 11 bets.
- Tick each way if needed. Each way doubles the number of bets and the total stake. Choose the place terms for each selection.
- Enter odds and results. Type odds as 5/2, 3.5 or +250. Mark each selection as won, placed, lost or void.
The return updates as you type, with a breakdown by bet size.
Bet types explained
| Bet | Selections | Bets | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trixie | 3 | 4 | 3 doubles, 1 treble |
| Patent | 3 | 7 | 3 singles, 3 doubles, 1 treble |
| Yankee | 4 | 11 | 6 doubles, 4 trebles, 1 four-fold |
| Lucky 15 | 4 | 15 | A Yankee plus 4 singles |
| Canadian (Super Yankee) | 5 | 26 | Every double, treble, four-fold and five-fold |
| Lucky 31 | 5 | 31 | A Canadian plus 5 singles |
| Heinz | 6 | 57 | Every double up to the six-fold |
| Lucky 63 | 6 | 63 | A Heinz plus 6 singles |
| Super Heinz | 7 | 120 | Every double up to the seven-fold |
| Goliath | 8 | 247 | Every double up to the eight-fold |
Bets that include singles (Patent, Lucky 15, Lucky 31, Lucky 63) pay out with just one winner. The others need at least two winners to return anything.
Worked example: a £1 Yankee
Four selections all win at evens (2.0). A £1 Yankee costs £11. Each double returns £4, each treble £8 and the four-fold £16, so the total return is 6 × £4 + 4 × £8 + £16 = £72.
Non-runners, voids and Rule 4
A void or non-runner counts as odds of 1.0, so the bet carries on without it: a double with one non-runner becomes a single. In horse racing, if a horse is withdrawn after you've taken a price, the bookmaker may apply a Rule 4 deduction to your winnings. Enter it in pence in the pound, such as 10 for a 10p deduction. The calculator applies it to winnings, not stake.
This calculator doesn't cover dead heats, each-way bonuses or bookmaker-specific promotions such as Lucky 15 bonuses.
