The Theory: How The Lucky 63 Bet Works
How does a Lucky 63 bet work? The most important thing to note is that you need six (6) selections on your betslip. This will then give you the Lucky 63 bet option.
A Lucky 63 bet sees you place 63 individual bets based on your six selections. As a result, your stake will be multiplied by 63 to cover all bets. For example, if your base stake is €1, the stake you will need to cover your Lucky 63 bet would be €63.
A Lucky 63 bet is made up of the following bets:
- 6 singles
- 15 doubles
- 20 trebles
- 15 four-fold accumulators
- 6 five-fold accumulators
- 1 six-fold accumulator
So, for selections A, B, C, D, E, and F, you’ll get the following permutations:
A, B, C, D, E, F
AB, AC, AD, AE, AF, BC, BD, BE, BF, CD, CE, CF, DE, DF, EF
ABC, ABD, ABE, ABF, ACD, ACE, ACF, ADE, ADF, AEF, BCD, BCE, BCF, BDE, BDF, BEF, CDE, CDF, CEF, DEF
ABCD, ABCE, ABCF, ABDE, ABDF, ABEF, ACDE, ACDF, ACEF, ADEF, BCDE, BCDF, BCEF, BDEF, CDEF
ABCDE, ABCDF, ABCEF, ABDEF, ACDEF, BCDEF

A Lucky 63 bet is quite involved, so many people use a Lucky 63 bet calculator to assess their options. This predicts returns and profits based on the odds of your six selections and whether they win or lose.
Note that if you want to place an each way Lucky 63 bet, you will need to double your stake again. This means if your base stake is €1, you will need €63 to cover the Lucky 63 bet and €126 to make that each way.
Examples of a Lucky 63 Bet
You can create a Lucky 63 bet for any sport – the important thing is you have six selections on your betslip. Below, we have given you some examples so you can see how your winnings change depending on which bets come in. All of these bets have a base stake of €5 (i.e., a total stake of €315).

Conclusions
The Lucky 63 bet is a system bet based on six selections. Unlike a standard six-fold accumulator, with a Lucky 63 bet, you will still receive a payout even if some of your selections lose. However, by placing 63 bets, your base stake increases by 63 too. Therefore, even though you are spreading the risk with a Lucky 63 bet, there is still a significant outlay. Due to this, we think it’s best to place a Lucky 63 bet when you are confident in the majority, but maybe not all, of your selections.

What is the main advantage of a Lucky 63 bet?
A Lucky 63 bet allows you to spread your risk, but the trade-off is you need an increased stake. In a Lucky 63 bet, you will still receive a pay-out even if some of your selections lose. This makes it different to a standard six-fold accumulator.

Can you place a Lucky 63 bet each way?
