What is a Lucky 15?
A Lucky 15 is fifteen bets on four selections: four singles, six doubles, four trebles and one four-fold accumulator. A €1 Lucky 15 costs €15; each way it is thirty bets and €30.
Most Lucky 15s in the UK are struck on horse racing, where each-way terms come with the race; the arithmetic is identical on four football selections, and the calculator settles either.
The singles are what make it popular. Unlike a Yankee, one winner on its own still returns something — the single at its price — so a bad day costs less of the stake than a pure multiple would. The fourfold is where the big number comes from, and it needs all four.
Many bookmakers add their own Lucky 15 bonuses, such as double odds when only one selection wins or a percentage on top when all four do. Those vary by book and are not part of the bet itself, so the calculator keeps them optional: pick your bookmaker's one-winner bonus and all-winners percentage under the selections and the return includes them.

How much does a Lucky 15 pay? A worked example
Two of four winners, €1 a bet: 2/1 (3.00, won), 5/2 (3.50, won), 3/1 (4.00, lost), 6/4 (2.50, lost). The Lucky 15 costs €15.00 and returns €17.00 — a profit of €2.00. The figures above are the calculator's own: change any price or result to see how the return moves.
Football selections
These bets started on the racecourse but settle the same on football: a selection is any call at its price — a result, over 2.5 goals, both teams to score, an outright. Every leg carries the bookmaker's margin, and multiples multiply it, so the margin calculator is worth a look before you choose prices, and our match predictions put the model's calls beside the bookmaker's prices — the day's Free Picks open to everyone. For one straight multiple, use the accumulator calculator.
