What is a Lucky System in Sports Betting
There are three distinct variants of the Lucky system for sports betting: the 15, 31, and 63, named after the number of unique combinations they can generate. These bets require entering 4, 5, or 6 different events on the betting slip, respectively.
You might argue that the Yankee also requires 4 picks, the Super Yankee requires 5, and the Heinz requires 6. So, why the different names? The answer is straightforward: Lucky bets also include single bets, a greater number of columns, and require a larger investment.
To clarify further, the table above outlines all the details of the possible combinations for the three variants. With a Lucky 15, you'll have 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 triples, and one four-fold accumulator. The Lucky 31 includes 5 singles, 10 doubles, 10 triples, 5 four-fold accumulators, and one five-fold accumulator.
Finally, with a Lucky 63, you’ll be betting on 6 singles, 15 doubles, 20 triples, 15 four-fold accumulators, 6 five-fold accumulators, and one six-fold accumulator. Is all of this a bit overwhelming? Let’s try to clarify things with a few examples and, first, with a brief summary.
