What is a Lucky 15?

A Lucky 15 is a multiple bet which places 15 different single, double and accumulator bets across four selections in four different racing events.

These include:

4 singles
6 doubles
4 trebles
1 fourfold.

However, there is more to a Lucky 15 than the bets it comprises.

Some special rules apply to a Lucky 15, including:

double the odds paid out on relevant bets if only 1 selection wins (only the win portion is paid out on each-way bets)
a 10% bonus is paid out if all the selections win.

How to place a Lucky 15 bet

1. Make four selections in betting markets of your choice

2. These will automatically appear on your betting slip

3. Once all four bets have been placed, scroll down the betting slip and you should see an option for placing multiple bets, including a Lucky 15

4. Choose this option

And you’re done.

How to place a Lucky 15 each-way bet

When placing a Lucky 15 bet you have the option of betting each-way with your stake.

This will effectively double up your bet and double your stake, putting you in line to earn payouts on bets where your selections place.

Be aware that that there are some Lucky 15 each-way rules: each-way betting on Lucky 15s will only be available where you bet only on events where each-way bets are possible.

For example, you can place Lucky 15-each way bets where all four of your selections are competing in a race where each-way betting is possible.

However, if you also bet on a match result in a football game, the each-way option will not appear for Lucky 15 bets on your betting slip.
