Lucky 15 Calculator
A Lucky 15 is 15 bets on four selections — 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and a four-fold — so a £1 Lucky 15 costs £15 (or £30 each way). Enter the odds and result of your four selections below to see the total return and profit.
Bookmaker-specific Lucky 15 bonuses, Rule 4 and dead heats are not included. Your bookmaker’s settlement is final.
What a Lucky 15 is made of
| Part | Number of bets | Pays when |
|---|---|---|
| Singles | 4 | Any one selection wins |
| Doubles | 6 | Both selections in a pair win |
| Trebles | 4 | All three selections in a group win |
| Four-fold | 1 | All four selections win |
| Total | 15 |
Worked example
An illustration, not a tip: four selections all at 2/1 (3.0 decimal), £1 per line, all four win.
- Singles: 4 × £3 = £12
- Doubles: 6 × £9 = £54
- Trebles: 4 × £27 = £108
- Four-fold: 1 × £81 = £81
- Total return £255 for a £15 stake.
With only one winner at 2/1, the single returns £3 and the other 14 bets lose — a loss of £12 on the £15 stake. Multiples look attractive because the rare all-winners outcome pays a lot; most of the time they lose.
Each way Lucky 15
Each way doubles the bet to 30 lines. Each line has a win part and a place part; place parts use the place terms (for example 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds) and pay if the selection wins or places. Choose “Each way: Yes” and the right place terms in the calculator.

Many UK bookmakers add their own Lucky 15 promotions, such as boosted odds when only one selection wins or a bonus when all four win. These vary by bookmaker and are not included in the calculator.
Is a Lucky 15 the same as a Yankee?
Almost. A Yankee is the same 11 doubles, trebles and four-fold but without the four singles, so it needs at least two winners for a return.
