A Heinz bet is a wager consisting of 57 separate bets across 6 selections. It includes 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfold accumulators, 6 fivefold accumulators, and 1 sixfold accumulator, covering every possible combination of your selections. It does not include single bets.
The Heinz bet is designed for bettors looking to increase potential returns while still having multiple chances to win. With a Heinz, you only need two winning selections to see a return. However, as with any ‘system’ bet, the more winning selections you have, the greater your payout.
When choosing selections, consider the odds carefully. If your selections all have short odds, and you only get a smaller number of winning selections, your return may not be enough to recover your total stake. Incorporating some longer-odds selections can be an effective way to balance risk and reward.
Since a Heinz consists of 57 individual bets, your stake is multiplied by 57. For example, if you place a $1 per bet Heinz, your total stake will be $57. The calculator on this page allows you to either set a stake per bet or enter a total stake amount and have it calculate the individual stake per bet for you.
The Heinz bet originated in horse racing but is widely used in sports betting, including football, golf, and more.
Try different combinations of selections on the Heinz calculator to see how your bet could play out.
A Heinz consists of six selections and a total of 57 bets. These bets cover every possible combination of your selections (called permutations). It does not include singles. The equivalent bet containing singles is called a Lucky 63.
Since a Heinz contains only doubles, trebles, fourfold accumulators, fivefold accumulators, and a sixfold accumulator, at least two selections must win for a return. The more winners you have, the greater your payout.
Let’s say you place a Heinz bet on six horses, with a £1 stake per bet, making your total stake £57.
In the first example, all of our horses have odds of 3/1. This makes the example simpler and allows us to see the impact of higher or lower odds on your returns.

2 Winning Horses | £16.00 | £57.00 | -£41.00 |
3 Winning Horses | £112.00 | £57.00 | £55.00 |

6 Winning Horses | £15,600.00 | £57.00 | £15,543.00 |
As you can see, 3 or more winning selections results in a profit. Let’s take a look at the impact of choosing five favourite, all with odds of 1/2.

Outcome | Return | Total Stake | Profit |
---|---|---|---|
2 Winning Horses | £2.25 | £57.00 | -£54.75 |
3 Winning Horses | £10.13 | £57.00 | -£46.87 |
4 Winning Horses | £32.06 | £57.00 | -£24.94 |
5 Winning Horses | £89.16 | £57.00 | £32.16 |
6 Winning Horses | £234.14 | £57.00 | £177.14 |
As you can see, this drastically impacts the number of selections needed to be in profit. In the real world, you will almost never have the same odds on every selection. Therefore, your actual returns will vary depending on which of your selections win.
An each-way Heinz further spreads risk by providing returns even if your selections finish in place positions rather than winning outright.
Each bet in a Heinz (double, treble, fourfold, fivefold, and sixfold) is split into a win part and a place part, meaning an each-way Heinz consists of 114 bets (57 win bets and 57 place bets). This doubles your total stake but gives you more chances of a return.
The payout for place bets depends on the event and bookmaker’s place terms (e.g., 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds).
✔ A balance of risk and reward – Unlike doubles, trebles or accumulators a canadian will pay out if two or more of your selections win.
✔ Each way variation available – By using the each way variation, you can spread your risk even further by still receiving a payout if your selections finish in place positions.
❌ Lower payout potential – Since your stake is spread between multiple bets, the overall payout if all your selections win is lower than it would be for a lone fivefold accumulator of the same total stake.
❌ Lower payout for fewer wins – When only a couple of your selections win, the payout may not be enough to regain your total stake.
