Lucky 63 calculator
A Lucky 63 is 63 bets on 6 selections: 6 singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, 6 fivefolds and 1 sixfold. It includes singles, so a single winner still returns something.
Enter the odds as fractions (5/2), decimals (3.50) or American odds (+150) and mark each result. Switch on each-way to add the place part.
What a Lucky 63 is made of

|---|---|
| Singles | 6 |
| Doubles | 15 |
| Trebles | 20 |
| Fourfolds | 15 |
| Fivefolds | 6 |
| Sixfold | 1 |
| Total | 63 |
| Each-way (win and place parts) | 126 |
At £1 a bet a Lucky 63 costs £63. Each-way doubles the bets to 126, so £1 each-way costs £126. The place part pays a fraction of the odds, usually 1/4 or 1/5, for each selection that wins or is placed.

Questions
How many bets are in a Lucky 63?
63: 6 singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, 6 fivefolds and 1 sixfold. Each-way it is 126 bets, a win part and a place part for each.
How much does a £1 each-way Lucky 63 cost?
£126: £63 for the win bets and £63 for the place bets. At 50p each-way it costs £63; at 10p each-way, £12.60.
What is the difference between a Lucky 63 and a Heinz?
Both use 6 selections. A Lucky 63 is a Heinz plus 6 singles: 63 bets against 57. The singles mean one winner still returns something, at the cost of 6 more stakes.
Does a Lucky 63 improve my chances of winning?
No. It spreads the stake over many bets, so fewer winners still return something, but every selection carries the bookmaker's margin and each double, treble and accumulator multiplies it. See what multiples really cost.
What about bonuses on a Lucky 63?
Some bookmakers add extras, for example double or treble the odds when only one selection wins, or a bonus when every selection wins. The terms differ between bookmakers and races; the calculator shows the standard returns without them.
