Formula Used

The potential winnings for a Lucky 15 bet are calculated using the following formula:

Potential Winnings = Stake × (Odds1 × Odds2 × ... × Odds15)

Where:

Stake is the amount of money you bet on each match
Odds1 through Odds15 are the decimal odds for each of your 15 matches

The total odds are calculated by multiplying all 15 individual odds together.

Worked Example

Let's say you place a £10 stake on each of your 15 matches with the following odds:

Match 1: 2.00
Match 2: 2.50
Match 3: 3.00
Match 4: 2.20
Match 5: 2.80
Match 6: 3.50
Match 7: 2.10
Match 8: 2.70
Match 9: 3.20
Match 10: 2.40
Match 11: 2.60
Match 12: 3.10
Match 13: 2.30
Match 14: 2.90
Match 15: 3.30

The total odds would be calculated as:

Total Odds = 2.00 × 2.50 × 3.00 × 2.20 × 2.80 × 3.50 × 2.10 × 2.70 × 3.20 × 2.40 × 2.60 × 3.10 × 2.30 × 2.90 × 3.30

This would result in a total odds figure of approximately 15.00. Your potential winnings would then be:

Potential Winnings = £10 × 15.00 = £150

Remember, this is only your potential winnings if all 15 matches go exactly as you predicted.
