The world of cover betting offers many intriguing options, two of which are Heinz and Super Heinz bets, also known as multi-bets, which are by far the biggest of the bunch.
They are similar methods of betting whereby players select multiple selections or legs.
A large number of bets are placed upon them, ranging from singles up to six and seven-fold accumulators, with everything in between.
What is a Heinz Bet?
We are going to kick off with a Heinz bet, it being the smaller of the two.
A Heinz bet, put simply, is where a bettor chooses six different selections.
Once done the bookmakers will then place 57 separate bets on these selections.
The 57 bets come in the form of:
- 15 Double Bets: This involves betting on two of the events in tandem. With six selections, there are 15 possible ways this can happen.
- 20 Treble Bets: This involves betting on three of the events in tandem. With six selections, there are 20 possible ways this can happen.
- 15 Four-fold Accumulators: This involves betting on four of the events in tandem. With six selections, there are 15 possible ways this can happen.
- 6 Five-fold Accumulators: This involves betting on five of the events in tandem. With six selections, there are 6 possible ways this can happen.
- 1 Six-fold Accumulator: This is a six-leg accumulator on all selections to win.
What is a Super Heinz Bet?
As the name may suggest a Super Heinz bet, is just an expansion of the Heinz bet, therefore becoming ‘super’.
Instead of six selections, bettors will choose seven.
Once done, 120 separate bets will be placed on these, with the explanations of each being the same as above, coming out to:
- 21 Doubles
- 35 Trebles
- 35 Four-fold accumulators
- 21 Five-fold accumulators
- 7 Six-fold accumulators
- 1 Seven-fold accumulator - this being a seven-leg acca, where all the selections need to win
These betting systems, although complex, can provide exciting opportunities for the savvy bettor.
Why place a Heinz or Super Heinz bet?
The potential for substantial winnings in both comes from the sheer number of combinations. As bettors do not need to get all seven correct to see returns.
With so many combinations of bets in each, even if only a few of the selections come in, players can still see some decent returns.
Say a player managed to get four of the six selections in a Heinz bet.
Then, whilst they wouldn't win the whole thing, they would receive payouts from the winning, singles, doubles, trebles and one of the fourfolds, all of which when added up could prove substantial.
Regardless of the sport, both the Heinz and Super Heinz bet offers a wide range of possibilities, making it a popular choice among experienced bettors looking for an expansive and encompassing betting experience.
Wagering on a Heinz or Super Heinz Bet
A crucial part that must be considered when betting on whether a Heiunz or Super Heinz bet is how much a punter wishes to wager, and what the total stake is.
The initial stake must be multiplied by the number of wagers in each of the multi-bets, then giving us the total stake.
So for a Heinz Bet:
- If the initial stake is 50p
- And a Heinz bet has 57 separate wagers in it
- So £0.50 x 57 = £28.50
Therefore, if a player's initial stake was 50p, the total stake would end up being £28.50
And for a Super Heinz:
- If the initial stake is 50p
- And a Super Heinz bet has 120 separate wagers in it
- So £0.50 x 120 = £60
Therefore, if a player's initial stake was 50p, the total stake would end up being £60
Pros and Cons of Heinz & Super Heinz Bets
Pros | Cons |
Potentially massive profits | Large staking requirements |
Multiple ways to win, even with losing selections | Complicated betting style |
Heinz and Super Heinz are comfortably some of the biggest bets that players can place, with an absolutely massive 57 or 120 separate wagers placed as part of each. Of course, this unique nature brings both benefits and drawbacks for players.
First up, of course, if the player were to be able to get all six or seven selections correct, then all of the 57 or 120 individual wagers would cash.
And the payout from this could be absolutely massive for bettors, what with everything from singles, all the way up to six or sevenfold accas paying out what are likely to be some major returns.
This fact still holds, if players are unable to get them all, as because there are singles, doubles, trebles and the such are included, even if bettors don’t predict all the selections correctly, winnings can still be derived.
This helps to put them over the top of accas, as not only are the payouts likely to be higher, but an accumulator comes crashing down if even one leg fails, whereas Heinz and Super Heinz bets continue on to give bettors some sort of payout.
However, of course with so many individual bets being placed as part of these cover wagers, player's stakes will be relatively high. Either multiplied by 57 or 120, bettors often need a wealth of funds to place these kinds of wagers.
There is also the fact that keeping track of so many selections and individual bets can be quite tricky, especially if they are all occurring at the same time.
Nevertheless the opportunity afforded to players by Heinz and Super Heinz bets are well worth looking into, particularly if bettors want to cover all their bases.
Heinz and Super Heinz Betting FAQs
What does a heinz bet mean?
A Heinz bet is a type of wager where players choose six different selections, horses, football teams or the likes, and then 57 separate bets are placed on these.
This comes out to 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 quadruples, 6 five folds and 1 six fold. Ensuring all bases are covered for players.
What is a super heinz bet?
A Super Heinz bet is a type of wager where players choose seven different selections, and then 120 bets are placed across these for them.
This comes out to 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 quadruples, 21 five-fold accumulators, 7 six-fold accumulators, and 1 seven-fold accumulator.
Is it worth doing a heinz or super heinz each way?
Yes, if the punter is unsure if the selection will win but thinks it will place, it can be worth making these bets E/W to make sure this base is covered.
Players must be aware however that placing these at E/W would double the total stake. So for a Heinz, instead of their initial stake being multiplied by 57, it would be multiplied by 114. Or for a super heinz instead of 120, it would be 240 instead.
This is because an E/W counts as two bets already so players are essentially placing two bets on each of the individual wagers, hence the stake must be multiplied further.
How much does a Heinz bet cost?
It depends on how much the player is willing to stake, but they must remember this will be multiplied by 57 for a Heinz bet.
Many bookmakers have a minimum initial wager of £0.10 for these types of cover bets, therefore the lowest amount a Heinz bet would cost could be £5.70.
