What is a Super Heinz bet?
A Super Heinz is a type of bet that covers every possible combination from seven different selections — making a total of 120 bets. These include:
- 21 doubles (any two selections)
- 35 trebles (any three selections)
- 35 fourfolds (any four selections)
- 21 fivefolds (any five selections)
- 7 sixfolds (any six selections)
- 1 sevenfold accumulator (all seven together)
In simple terms: you’re betting on every possible way your seven picks can win, so even if a few lose, you can still get a payout.
There are no singles in a Super Heinz. You’ll need at least two winning selections to see any return.
Each line carries an equal stake. So, if you place a £1 Super Heinz, your total stake will be £120 (£1 per bet).
How does a Super Heinz bet work?
- Pick seven selections. For example, seven football teams to win their weekend fixtures.
- Each combination is created automatically as doubles, trebles, and up to a sevenfold accumulator.
- Each line carries an equal stake. For example, a £1 Super Heinz costs £120 in total (£1 per line)
- Returns depend on how many selections win. The more that win, the higher the payout.
Even with one or two losing picks, you can still make money because of the many overlapping combinations.
Example: Football Super Heinz
You select these seven teams to win:
- Arsenal @ 2.00 (even odds, +100)
- Manchester City @ 1.80 (+80)
- Tottenham @ 2.20 (+120)
- Liverpool @ 1.90 (+90)
- Newcastle @ 2.50 (+150)
- Aston Villa @ 2.40 (+140)
- Brighton @ 2.10 (+110)
You place a £1 Super Heinz = £120 total stake.
If five or more teams win, many of the trebles, fourfolds, and higher accumulators will generate a solid profit.
If only three or four selections win, some doubles and trebles may return part of your stake, resulting in a smaller profit or partial recovery.
If fewer than two win, the entire bet loses.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a Super Heinz bet for in-play (live) betting?
Yes, some sportsbooks allow Super Heinz bets on in-play events. However, odds change rapidly during live betting, which can affect potential returns and the likelihood of winning combinations. It’s best suited for bettors experienced in managing multiple live selections.
Can I place a Super Heinz bet on multiple sports or leagues?
Yes. You can combine selections from different sports or leagues. This can diversify your bet and reduce risk by avoiding correlated outcomes, as long as your sportsbook allows it.
How does the stake per line affect my total investment?
Each line in a Super Heinz carries the same stake. For example, a £1 stake per line across 120 bets results in a total stake of £120. Increasing the stake per line proportionally raises the total investment and potential return.
What happens if some selections are void or postponed?
If one or more selections are voided or postponed, those bets are usually treated as “no action,” and the remaining combinations are adjusted accordingly. This can reduce the total number of bets and affect potential returns, but the bet does not automatically lose.
Is a Super Heinz more profitable than multiple smaller accumulators?
Not necessarily. A Super Heinz spreads risk across many combinations, giving multiple ways to win, but the high total stake means smaller wins may not cover the full investment. It’s designed for high-potential returns rather than guaranteed profits.
