Lucky 15
- A Lucky 15 consists of fifteen bets involving 4 selections from different events, combining 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 accumulator. You need only one winner to guarantee a return.
- In the event of one winner only, your winnings are doubled if all selections are chosen from Horse Racing or Greyhounds.
- For four winners out of four, a Bonus of 10% is added to winnings on the win part of the bet (winnings = the return for the win part of the bet minus the win stakes for that bet) if all selections are chosen from Horse Racing or Greyhounds.
- If a Lucky 15 contains a non-runner, no Bonuses will apply to that bet.
For example, if the 4 selections and their odds were:
A = 2.00 B = 3.50 C = 4.00 D = 1.50 (Fractional equivalent: Evens, 5/2, 3/1 & 1/2)
a) If all 4 selections won in a €1 Lucky 15, the winnings would be calculated as follows:
4 x Singles
Selections Odds Payout A 2.00 = 2.00 B 3.50 = 3.50 C 4.00 = 4.00 D 1.50 = 1.50 6 x Doubles
Selections Odds Payout A + B 2.00 x 3.50 = 7.00 A + C 2.00 x 4.00 = 8.00 A + D 2.00 x 1.50 = 3.00 B + C 3.50 x 4.00 = 14.00 B + D 3.50 x 1.50 = 5.25 C + D 4.00 x 1.50 = 6.00 4 x Trebles
Selections Odds Payout A + B + C 2.00 x 3.50 x 4.00 = 28.00 A + B + D 2.00 x 3.50 x 1.50 = 10.50 A + C + D 2.00 x 4.00 x 1.50 = 12.00 B + C + D 3.50 x 4.00 x 1.50 = 21.00 1 x Accumulator
Selections Odds Payout A + B + C + D 2.00 x 3.50 x 4.00 x 1.50 = 42.00 Total Payout = €167.75 minus the stake of €15.00, leaving total winnings of €152.75.
As all 4 have won, the 10% Bonus on winnings applies (for Horse Racing and Greyhounds only, see Rule 8.10.3).
Therefore the Bonus is 10% of €152.75 = €15.27Total payout is therefore €167.75 + €15.27 = €183.02
The cost of the bet is €15.00, leaving a profit in this instance of €168.02.b) Using the same odds and stake as above, if only selection C won and the other 3 selections lost, the winnings would be calculated as follows:
The only winning bet would be the single on Selection C, all other single and multiple bets would be losers.
As per Rule 8.10.2 above, with only 1 winner, your winnings are doubled, if all selections are chosen from Horse Racing or Greyhounds, therefore:
€1 x €4.00 (payout) — €1 (stake) = €3.Winnings on selection C with Bonus
€3 x 2 = €6.00.Payout on selection C with Bonus
€6 (winnings) + €1 (stake) = €7.00The cost of the bet is €15.00, leaving a loss in this instance of €8.00.
