The Lucky 63 gets plenty of attention, but its smaller siblings, the Lucky 15 and Lucky 31, are just as useful and often better suited to bettors with four or five selections. They follow the exact same principle: full cover multiples plus singles, giving you a return even if only one selection wins.
If you understand these two bets, the Lucky 63 becomes obvious, because it is simply the next step up the same ladder. Here is how the four and five selection versions work.
The Lucky 15
A Lucky 15 takes four selections and combines them into 15 bets:
- 4 singles
- 6 doubles
- 4 trebles
- 1 four-fold
Because it includes singles, one winning selection still returns money. A £1 Lucky 15 costs £15 in total, since it is 15 separate bets.
The Lucky 31
A Lucky 31 uses five selections across 31 bets:
- 5 singles
- 10 doubles
- 10 trebles
- 5 four-folds
- 1 five-fold
A £1 Lucky 31 costs £31. As with all Lucky bets, the singles are the safety net that separates it from the no-singles full cover bets.
Common Bonuses
Bookmakers often attach promotions to Lucky bets, such as a bonus for all winners or a consolation for a single winner. These offers vary and are never guaranteed, so read the specific terms each time rather than assuming they apply.
How They Relate to the Lucky 63
The pattern is consistent: four selections give a Lucky 15, five give a Lucky 31, and six give a Lucky 63. Each step adds a selection and multiplies the number of combinations, which is the core idea behind every full cover bet.
Choosing the Right Size
Match the bet to the number of selections you genuinely fancy. There is no benefit in padding a Lucky 31 with a weak fifth pick just to move up a tier. Enter your real selections in the Bet Calculator Betmentor and compare returns before deciding.
