Lucky 15

Four selections in 15 bets: four singles, six doubles, four trebles and a four-fold, often with bookmaker bonuses.

A Lucky 15 is a Yankee plus singles — four selections across 15 bets — and bookmakers often add bonuses for all-winners or a single winner.

How it works

The four singles mean one winner already returns something. Many bookmakers offer a bonus (e.g. double the odds on a single winner, or a 10–20% all-winners bonus), which can meaningfully boost value in racing.

Worked example

One winner at 4.0 pays the single; all four winners can trigger a bookmaker bonus on top of the 15 winning bets.

Pros

  • Any winner returns something
  • Bookmaker bonuses add value

Cons

  • 15 units staked
  • Returns spread thin with only one winner

Tips

  • Check the bookmaker's bonus terms — they vary a lot.
  • Best value with four value selections at decent odds.
