What is a Super Heinz?

A Super Heinz bet is an accumulator bet that involves making seven selections, leading to a total of 120 separate bets. These 120 bets are divided into 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-fold accumulators, 21 five-fold accumulators, 7 six-fold accumulators, and one seven-fold accumulator. Bettors typically place this bet in sports with multiple outcomes, such as horse racing or football, where they can combine selections from different events. However, it requires a larger stake since each of the 120 bets is multiplied by the individual stake.

The key appeal of a Super Heinz bet is that it provides multiple betting combinations, offering the possibility of returns even if some selections don't win. For instance, if some of the selections fail, other combinations within the 120 bets can still provide a return. The more selections that win, the greater the overall payout, with the seven-fold accumulator offering the highest return. However, the bet requires careful consideration, as the number of selections makes it more complex than simpler accumulator bets.

The cost of a Super Heinz bet can be quite high due to the large number of wagers involved. If you place a £1 stake per bet, your total stake for the 120 bets will amount to £120. For a higher stake, the cost increases proportionally. For example, if a bettor stakes £2 per bet, the total stake would be £240, and a £10 unit stake would result in a £1,200 total stake. This makes the Super Heinz a bet for those willing to risk a significant amount of money for the potential of substantial returns.

Named after the Heinz company’s famous "57 varieties" advertising campaign, the Super Heinz bet is a more extensive version of the standard Heinz bet. While the Heinz bet consists of 57 combinations, the Super Heinz amplifies this number by allowing seven selections and producing 120 combinations. However, since no single bets are involved, at least two selections must win for a return to be made. This bet is not for beginners and should only be considered by experienced bettors who have strong knowledge of the events and participants they are betting on.
