The Heinz is a full cover bet built from six selections, and it takes its name from the famous "57 varieties" slogan because it contains exactly 57 bets. It is a favourite among bettors who back six selections and are confident that several will win.
Unlike its close cousin the Lucky 63, a Heinz contains no singles. That single fact shapes everything about how the bet behaves, how much it costs, and when it is the right choice.
What Is Inside a Heinz
A Heinz covers every multiple of your six selections, excluding singles:
- 15 doubles
- 20 trebles
- 15 four-folds
- 6 five-folds
- 1 six-fold
Add those together and you get 57 bets. Because there are no singles, you need at least two of your six selections to win before any part of the Heinz returns money.
How Much Does a Heinz Cost?
Your total stake is your unit stake multiplied by 57. A £1 Heinz costs £57; a 10p Heinz costs £5.70. It is cheaper than a Lucky 63 by six units precisely because it drops the six singles.
How Heinz Returns Work
Every winning combination settles at the product of its selections' odds, multiplied by your unit stake, and the calculator adds up all the winning lines. With two or more winners the returns can build quickly, and with all six the six-fold line alone can be substantial.
The Two-Winner Threshold
Because the smallest bet in a Heinz is a double, one winning selection returns nothing. If you think a single winner is a realistic outcome you want to be paid for, a Lucky 63 with its singles is the safer structure.
When to Choose a Heinz
A Heinz suits confident multi-selection bettors who expect several winners and want to keep the stake lower than a Lucky 63. It sits neatly in the wider full cover bet family between the Canadian and the Super Heinz.
