Heinz Calculator
57 bets on 6 selections: doubles up to the six-fold, no singles.
A Heinz is 57 bets from 6 selections (15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds, 1 six-folds). Void/non-runner legs settle at 1.00, shrinking any line they're in. Each-way doubles the stake and pays a place accumulator at each leg's terms.
How a Heinz works
A Heinz is fifty-seven bets on six selections: fifteen doubles, twenty trebles, fifteen four-folds, six five-folds and the six-fold. The name is the old "57 varieties" joke. There are no singles, so two winners is the floor; add the six singles and bonuses and it becomes a Lucky 63.
Worked example: a £1 Heinz costs £57. Six winners at evens return £716, almost all of it from the trebles, four-folds and up. It's a bet for when you genuinely fancy six — the stake is real, and partial results below three or four winners return modestly.

FAQ
Heinz or Lucky 63?
Same six selections; the Lucky 63 adds the singles and bonuses (63 bets), the Heinz leaves them out (57 bets).
How many winners before I profit?
It depends on the prices, but typically three or four of six at reasonable odds. Two winners return only their shared double.
Each-way?
Yes — the stake doubles to £114 for a £1 unit, running a place Heinz alongside.
Six legs, six margins compounding: a Heinz off one card is hard work, but built from the best price per selection the maths tilts back your way. The five- and seven-selection neighbours are the Canadian and Super Heinz.
