A Heinz bet is a system bet built from 6 selections. It contains every multiple from doubles up to the six-fold accumulator, giving a total of 57 separate bets.
This Heinz Bet Calculator lets you enter decimal odds for all 6 selections, choose which selections won, and calculate total stake, returns, profit, and the number of winning lines by bet type.
Important: a Heinz bet gives wide coverage, but the total stake rises quickly because every unit is multiplied by 57. A $1 unit stake costs $57. A $5 unit stake costs $285. Use small unit stakes and check the full cost before placing the bet.

What Is Included in a Heinz Bet?
A Heinz does not include singles. It starts at doubles and includes every possible multiple from 6 selections:
- 15 doubles
- 20 trebles
- 15 four-folds
- 6 five-folds
- 1 six-fold accumulator
That gives 57 bets in total.
How to Use the Heinz Calculator
- Enter unit stake: This is the stake placed on each of the 57 bets.
- Enter odds for all 6 selections: Use decimal odds.
- Mark each selection as Won or Lost: The calculator will only pay combinations made entirely from winning selections.
- Review returns: Check total stake, total return, profit/loss, and winning lines by category.
Heinz Bet Formula
The total cost is simple:
Total Stake = Unit Stake × 57
Each winning line is calculated as:
Line Return = Unit Stake × Odds 1 × Odds 2 × … × Odds N
Only combinations where all included selections win produce a return. Any line containing a losing selection returns zero.
Worked Example: 3 Winners from 6 Selections
Suppose you place a $1 Heinz. Your six selections have odds of 3.00, 3.50, 2.50, 4.00, 2.20, and 5.00. The first three selections win, and the other three lose.
- Total stake: 57 × $1 = $57
- Winning doubles: 3
- Winning trebles: 1
- Winning four-folds, five-folds, six-fold: 0
Because only 3 selections won, only doubles and trebles can return money. All higher multiples contain at least one losing selection, so they lose.
How Many Winners Do You Need?
| Winning selections | Winning bet types possible | General outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 0 or 1 | None | The full Heinz loses because there are no singles. |
| 2 | 1 double | Usually needs strong odds to recover much of the stake. |
| 3 | Doubles and trebles | Can return meaningfully if odds are high enough. |
| 4 | Doubles, trebles, four-folds | Often produces a strong return at medium odds. |
| 5 | Doubles through five-folds | Large return potential. |
| 6 | All 57 lines | Maximum return, including the six-fold accumulator. |
Heinz vs Lucky 31 / Lucky 63
A Heinz is different from Lucky 31 and Lucky 63 because it does not include singles. That makes it more dependent on getting at least two selections correct.
| Bet type | Selections | Singles included? | Total bets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucky 31 | 5 | Yes | 31 |
| Heinz | 6 | No | 57 |
| Lucky 63 | 6 | Yes | 63 |
Strategy Notes
A Heinz is usually better suited to selections at medium or higher odds. At very short odds, the winning doubles and trebles may not be enough to overcome the 57-line total stake unless many selections win.
Before placing a Heinz, check the total cost and ask whether the same opinion could be expressed with a smaller system bet, such as a Trixie, Patent, Yankee, Lucky 31, or Lucky 63.
Limitations
This calculator assumes decimal odds, fixed unit stakes, and win/loss settlement only. It does not include each-way Heinz bets, dead heats, rule deductions, void selections, best-odds guarantees, bonuses, or bookmaker-specific settlement rules.
