Heinz Flag Explained
A Heinz Flag bet is a wager consisting of 87 separate bets across 6 selections. It includes 15 doubles, 20 treble, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds and 1 six-fold accumulator and 10 up-and-down Single Stakes About pairs. In a Heinz Flag, every possible combination (‘permutation’) of selections is covered. It does not include single bets.
It is the same structure as a regular Heinz bet, with the addition of Single Stakes About pairs. See the Single Stakes About page to learn more about how those bets work.
A Heinz Flag provides a return even if only one of your selections is successful. As such, it provides a good level of insurance should selections not go your way. This comes at the cost of a lower potential payout when compared to other six selection bets for the same total stake.
A regular Heinz, which contains the same bets as a Heinz Flag minus the Single Stakes About pairs, has a higher potential payout, but requires at least two selections to win.
When choosing selections, consider the odds carefully. If your selections all have short odds, a return from just one, two or even three winning selection 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 Flag consists of 87 individual bets, your stake is multiplied by 87. For example, if you place a £1 per bet Heinz Flag, your total stake will be £87. 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.
Heinz Flag Composition
A Heinz Flag bet covers various betting combinations using six different selections. Single Stakes About pairs give a return even if only one selection wins, which is where your coverage comes from if you only select one winner. Here’s a breakdown of the bet:
How Does an Each Way Heinz Flag work?
An each way Heinz Flag bet is a variation that covers both winning and placing selections. This doubles the number of bets to 174 because each selection is backed twice:
- One bet for the selection to win.
- One bet for the selection to place (e.g., finishing in the top three in a horse race).
This increases the chances of getting a return, even if some selections don’t win outright. However, since the number of bets doubles, the total stake also doubles. You could reduce your stake to compensate, but it would provide a lower maximum return should all selections win compared to a non-each way Heinz Flag for the same total stake.
Heinz Flag Pros and Cons
Pros
✔ Higher chance of a return – Even if only one selection wins, you still get a payout.
✔ Risk management – Covering every permutation gives you insurance in the event of your selections not going your way. It provides a difference balance to the payouts compared to a Lucky 63 of the same total stake. A Heinz Flag provides greater protection if there are four or less winners, but a lower payout if there are five or more winners, assuming all odds are equal.
Cons
✘ Can still lose money – If only a few selections win, the payout might not be high enough to recover your overall stake. This can happen if you have selections with mostly short odds.
✘ Lower returns than an accumulator – Because a Heinz Flag includes coverage for single selections and smaller multiples, the potential returns are lower than a standard threefold accumulator or regular Heinz for the same total stake.
✘ Doesn’t include bonuses – A Lucky 63, which is a very similar four selection bet, often has an all winner bonus, one loser bonus or one winner consolation, which Heinz Flag bets don’t provide.
