If you’re familiar with the world of sports betting, you likely understand how accumulator bets work and may have enjoyed learning about Yankee and Super Yankee formats. Now, it’s time to get acquainted with Heinz and Super Heinz options. These are two “turbocharged” types of multiple bets, involving six and seven selections, respectively.
How Does a Heinz Bet Work?
A Heinz bet follows the same logic as a Yankee, where the bettor makes a selection of predictions. Instead of combining them into a single multiple bet, the predictions are divided into several bets. This way, instead of losing the entire stake if one selection fails, as in a traditional accumulator, it’s possible to win with fewer correct predictions.
A Heinz bet involves six selections, resulting in 57 bets:
- 1 six-fold bet
- 6 five-fold bets
- 15 four-fold bets
- 20 treble bets
- 15 double bets
The final result depends on the number of correct predictions and the odds involved. The higher the odds of the selections, the lower the accuracy rate needed to avoid a loss.
What About a Super Heinz Bet?
As the name suggests, a Super Heinz bet takes it a step further by involving seven selections. This results in a significantly higher number of bets, totaling 120 individual bets. The list of predictions generated from these selections includes:
- 1 seven-fold bet
- 7 six-fold bets
- 21 five-fold bets
- 35 four-fold bets
- 35 treble bets
- 21 double bets
Risk vs. Reward
Given the number of individual bets involved, opting for a Heinz or Super Heinz format also brings much more risk. On the other hand, as with sports betting in general, the potential reward is also greater. However, extra care and attention to bankroll management are necessary, as the variance involved can increase substantially.
Imagine a situation where you place a Super Heinz bet and miss all seven selections. Instead of losing a single bet, as in a traditional accumulator, you would incur the loss of 120 individual bets, which can quickly add up to significant amounts. Therefore, it’s crucial to understand what’s at stake, all the bets being placed, and the associated risks and rewards. By following the principles of responsible gambling, you can then cheer for your predictions.
