What Is a Lucky 63?
A Lucky 63 is a UK multiple bet built from 6 selections. It combines every possible single, double, treble, four-fold, five-fold, and the single six-fold accumulator into 63 separate bets. You only need one winner to collect a return, but the payout grows steeply with each extra winner thanks to the compounding combinations.
The bet comes from the same UK racing tradition as the Lucky 15 and Lucky 31, and most British and Irish bookmakers still offer it. Lucky 63 is the largest member of the Lucky family. Beyond it sit full-cover bets without singles, such as the Heinz (also from 6 picks).
- 6 singles
- 15 doubles
- 20 trebles

How a Lucky 63 Pays Out
Each of the 63 component bets settles independently. Returns from winning combinations are summed; losing combinations contribute zero.
Stake: 1 unit per bet. 6 selections, all winners at decimal odds 2.00.
Singles: 6 x 2.00 = 12 units
Doubles: 15 x (2.00 x 2.00) = 60 units
Trebles: 20 x (2.00 x 2.00 x 2.00) = 160 units
Four-folds: 15 x (2.00^4) = 240 units
Five-folds: 6 x (2.00^5) = 192 units
Six-fold: 1 x (2.00^6) = 64 units
Total return: 728 units (stake 63)
Profit: 665 units (about 11.56x the total outlay)
If only one of your six selections wins, you only collect the matching single bet (and any bookmaker bonus). Two winners pay 2 singles plus the connecting double, and so on. The combinatorial layering is what makes Lucky 63 payouts climb so quickly when most legs land.

UK Bookmaker Bonuses
If only one of your 6 selections wins, many UK bookmakers settle the single bet at double or treble the win odds. Our calculator includes a double-odds toggle. Check your bookmaker's exact multiplier before relying on the figure.
Some bookmakers add 10 to 25 percent on top of the total return when all 6 selections win. The default toggle uses 10 percent; verify the headline number on your bookmaker's terms page since bonuses on Lucky 63 tend to be more generous than on Lucky 15.
Bonus rules vary widely. Bet365 typically doubles single-winner odds; William Hill and Paddy Power apply similar treatments on horse racing. Always read the terms for non-runners, dead heats, and minimum-price clauses before placing the bet.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A 5 unit Lucky 63 costs 315 units total, not 5. The 63x multiplier turns a small unit stake into a serious commitment.
Bookmaker bonuses on Lucky 63 typically require all selections to be runners and exclude dead heats. Read the small print before relying on bonus payouts.
On 6 selections, small price differences compound across 57 winning combinations when all legs land. Use an odds comparison tool to lock in the best price on every leg.
63 bets does not turn weak picks into profitable ones. Every leg still needs to be a value bet on its own merits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lucky 63 bet?
A Lucky 63 is a UK multiple bet of 63 bets across 6 selections: 6 singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds, and 1 six-fold accumulator.
How many bets are in a Lucky 63?
Exactly 63: 6 singles + 15 doubles + 20 trebles + 15 four-folds + 6 five-folds + 1 six-fold. Your unit stake is multiplied by 63 for the total outlay.
How many winners do I need for a return?
Just one. A single winning selection pays out the matching single bet. Each extra winner unlocks more combinations: two winners add the connecting double, three add three doubles plus a treble, and so on through to the full 63-bet payout.
What does a Lucky 63 pay if all six win at 2.00?
With a 1 unit stake per bet, the return is 728 units against a 63 unit outlay, or roughly 11.56x. Bookmaker bonuses push the multiple higher.
What Lucky 63 bonuses are common?
Double or treble odds on a single winner is the most common offer at UK and Irish bookmakers. Many also add a 10 to 25 percent bonus when all six selections win. Bet365, William Hill, and Paddy Power all run variations of these promotions, but terms differ by market.
What is the difference between a Lucky 63 and a Lucky 31?
A Lucky 31 uses 5 selections (31 bets); Lucky 63 adds a sixth selection, which doubles the bet count to 63 because every existing combination spawns a new one paired with the new pick.
What is the difference between a Lucky 63 and a Heinz?
Both use 6 selections. A Heinz is 57 bets without singles (15 doubles + 20 trebles + 15 four-folds + 6 five-folds + 1 six-fold). Lucky 63 adds the 6 singles, lowering the bar for a return at the cost of a bigger outlay.
Can I bet a Lucky 63 each-way?
Yes. Each-way doubles the stake to 126 bets (63 win + 63 place), so a 1 unit each-way Lucky 63 costs 126 units. Place legs settle at the win odds reduced by the bookmaker's place fraction (commonly 1/4 or 1/5).
Can I bet a Lucky 63 on football or other sports?
Yes. Lucky 63 works on any sport with discrete outcomes. It is most popular on UK and Irish horse racing because of the each-way structure, but football match-winner and tennis Lucky 63s are common too.
Are Lucky 63s profitable long term?
Only when every selection has positive expected value. With 6 picks, you also need each leg to clear the bookmaker's margin: a Lucky 63 compounds your edge if your picks are sharp and compounds the margin if they are not.
What unit stake should I use?
Pick a unit you would happily risk 63 times. Most disciplined bettors keep total Lucky 63 exposure under 1 to 2 percent of bankroll, which often means a much smaller unit than they would use on a single.
Pro Tip: Verify Each Leg as +EV Before Stacking 63 Bets
A Lucky 63 is only worth the outlay when every selection is a value bet. Use our EV Calculator to confirm each of your 6 legs has positive expected value before committing 63 unit stakes.
