What is a Lucky 63?
A Lucky 63 is 63 bets on six selections in different races: six singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, six fivefolds and a sixfold accumulator. The singles mean one winner gives a return.
A £1 Lucky 63 costs £63. Each way it's 126 bets and costs £126: 63 win bets and 63 place bets, with the place bets paid at the place fraction of the odds.
Lucky 63 returns by number of winners
A £1 win Lucky 63 on selections at 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 6/1, 7/1, with the shortest-priced horses winning first.
| Winners | Bets that pay | Returns | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | £0.00 | −£63.00 |
| 1 | 1 | £3.00 | −£60.00 |
| 2 | 3 | £19.00 | −£44.00 |
| 3 | 7 | £119.00 | £56.00 |
| 4 | 15 | £839.00 | £776.00 |
| 5 | 31 | £6719.00 | £6656.00 |
| 6 | 63 | £60479.00 | £60416.00 |
Each way, if all six only place at 1/5 odds, a £1 each-way Lucky 63 (£126 in total) returns £569.29 from the place part, a profit of £443.29.

Questions
How many bets is a Lucky 63?
63: 6 singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, 6 fivefolds and a sixfold on six selections. A £1 Lucky 63 costs £63 win, or £126 each way.
How many winners do I need for a return on a Lucky 63?
One. The singles mean any winner gives a return, though one winner on its own usually isn't enough for a profit.
How many winners do I need for a profit?
It depends on the prices. With the odds in the table on this page (2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 6/1, 7/1, with the shortest-priced winning first), a £1 win Lucky 63 first shows a profit with three winners. At bigger prices you can need fewer.
What's the difference between a Lucky 63 and a Heinz?
A Heinz is a Lucky 63 without the six singles: 57 bets instead of 63, so one winner on its own returns nothing.
How are non-runners settled?
A non-runner's leg counts at odds of 1.0, so your stake carries on to the other selections: a treble with a non-runner becomes a double, and so on. Choose Non-runner as the result for that selection to see the effect.
