A Lucky 63 is a bet that includes 63 separate bets rolled into one massive multiple and is a mix of singles, doubles and indeed all accumulators up to and including the single sixfold that is the largest possible acca that can be placed using the six selections that this bet requires. Read on as we explain all about this exciting bet and how it works.
Well, actually, that is something of a white lie because, rather than explain in great depth the mechanics of this bet, we are going to tell you how it differs from an incredibly similar bet, the Lucky 31. We have full articles about related multiples, including the Lucky 15, Lucky 31 and the Heinz. In those articles, you will find out everything about how this type of wager works, including what you can and can’t bet on, how much they cost and what you might win, how to place the bet and calculate winnings, and how many bets and selections they entail. So, to avoid repeating too much of that information, let us here look instead at how the Lucky 63 is different to the Lucky 31.
The Difference Between Lucky 63 & Lucky 31
Wags might say the difference is Lucky 32, or just 32 and in one sense they would be correct. The main difference in many ways is that the Lucky 63 includes 63 bets, or 32 more, than the Lucky 31. This is because it includes six selections, or legs, rather than five, and this is basically the other main difference.
So, whether you are backing horses at a meeting, over 2.5 goals in a game of football, moneyline winners in the NFL, a combination of many sports and markets, or anything else, a Lucky 63 requires six predictions/selections/legs (call it what you will), whilst a Lucky 31 is made up of just five. The differences in terms of the component bets can be seen below, with those for a Lucky 63 listed first.
- Selections – 6 versus 5 (Lucky 63 always first)
- Singles – 6 v 5
- Doubles – 15 v 10
- Trebles – 20 v 10
- Fourfolds – 15 v 5
- Fivefolds – 6 v 1
- Sixfolds – 1 v 0
And in truth, that is it! Nice and simple, a Lucky 63 simply adds one more selection and 32 more individual bets compared to a Lucky 31 (and two more selections and 48 more bets in comparison to a Lucky 15). Pretty much everything else stays the same, although of course each of those extra bets requires a stake of its own, so a £5 Lucky 63 costs £315, whilst the equivalent Lucky 31 costs £155.
What About Bonuses?
There is one other difference that may crop up if you are sage enough to place your Lucky bets with a bookmaker that offers bonuses and/or consolation boosts on such bets. Those sites that do have these promos tend to increase the reward the more risk you take on. So, for example, the standard odds boost for having just one winner is as follows:
- Lucky 15 – Three times the standard odds
- Lucky 31 – Four times the standard odds
- Lucky 63 – Five times the standard odds
It is worth noting that some bookies only offer these promotional consolations for Lucky bets made on horse or dog racing. As with all betting offers, it is imperative you read the terms and conditions before piling in. That said, should you be eligible for a 5x boost on a Lucky 63, it could really go a long way to turning a terrible bet (just one winner from six) into one that isn’t all that costly. In fact, should your sole winner be priced at odds higher than 12/1, you may just escape with a net win!
The other main type of offer attached with these types of bets is an enhancement should you land all of the legs. With the Lucky 15, this is often 10% (though it can vary from bookie to bookie, as with all betting offers), rising to 20% for a Lucky 31 and 25% for a Lucky 63. Given any payout on a fully-correct Lucky 63 is sure to be pretty hefty anyway, a further 25% boost could be a serious extra amount on top of your regular winnings.
