Exit Exits WinCalc Multiple Bets Winning Calc 3a becomes most useful when calculating "multiple bets". These are bets where the punter tries to predict the outcome of two or more events, with the winnings of the first event being the stake for the next event etc. etc. The largest single "multiple bet" that Winning Calc can calculate is the "six-fold" ie six selections, with the stake increasing with each win. Obviously should one of the six selections lose then the whole bet is lost. A variation of the above is the "Heinz" Bet, where again six selections are made, the difference being that every combination of multiples is wagered on ie.15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds and 1 six-fold, a grand total of 57 individual bets. This bet costs somewhat more than the bet above, due to the number of bets, however you will see by Winning Calcs calculations that the return can be substantially higher. Lucky15, Lucky31 and Lucky63 are multiple bets offered by "William Hill" other bookmakers will probably offer similar bets under different names, however the Bonuses indicated by Winning Calc only apply to the "William Hill" "Lucky" bets.
