Super Heinz bet explained: what 120 lines really do to your stake
Available in US27 October 2026 — Licence status checked against the Gambling Commission’s public register on the same date.
A Super Heinz is one of the heavier full-cover wagers a UK bookmaker will price up for you. Seven selections. One hundred and twenty separate bets. No singles anywhere in the structure. That is the shape of it before a single price is looked at, and the shape itself is what decides whether the wager suits you or quietly swallows your stake.
The wager is built from every possible combination of doubles, trebles, four-folds, five-folds, six-folds and a single seven-fold across your seven picks. One line at minimum stake costs almost nothing. One hundred and twenty of them at the same unit stake is where a casual flutter becomes something else entirely, and on a quiet week where most legs win but two do not, the difference between breaking even and losing decides the whole outing.
This page treats the Super Heinz as a cost question first. The price of the bet, what a winning leg pays, what a void leg does to the structure, what the bookmaker keeps of every pound over the whole wager, and which UK-licensed brands actually settle the bet at all. Operators reviewed are checked against the Gambling Commission’s public register — every licence cited below is one you can look up by the account number in this guide.
The betting framework the Super Heinz sits inside
Betting in Great Britain is licensed under the Gambling Act 2005 and policed by the Gambling Commission, a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Since the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014, an operator whose remote facilities are used in Britain needs a Commission licence wherever the company itself sits — a Curaçao, Maltese or Gibraltar licence alone is not enough. The Commission’s public register is the whole test of who holds one and is searchable by business name, trading name, domain or account number.
The Act covers Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland runs on older law and is outside the Commission’s remit for the 2005 Act’s purposes, so where this page says “GB-licensed” it means Great Britain licensed, not the United Kingdom as a whole. There is no state monopoly and no cap on how many licences the Commission may issue.
For customers the practical consequence is simple. Any operator taking a bet from a customer in Great Britain has to be on that register, or it is committing a criminal offence under section 33 of the 2005 Act (the penalty sits on summary conviction: up to 51 weeks’ imprisonment, a fine up to level 5, or both — six months in Scotland). The Commission’s enforcement is disruption rather than blocking: cease-and-desist notices, search-engine referrals, registrar and payment-provider pressure, and court-order DNS powers that the Commission has been given or is about to receive. There is no offence aimed at a customer who merely bets on an unlicensed site — the consequence is loss of protection, not a criminal charge. No GAMSTOP coverage, no Commission complaints route, no approved dispute-resolution service, no British consumer redress if funds are withheld, and not bound by the 10x bonus cap or the £150 vulnerability check.
Financial spread betting is regulated separately by the Financial Conduct Authority — that is the regime under which a firm such as Spreadex runs its spread side, and the FCA’s rulebook is why those products carry the warning that losses can exceed the deposit. Spread betting that is not a financial product falls inside General Betting Duty instead, on the betting side of the line.
Minimum age is 18. Identity checks — name, address and date of birth — have been required before a customer can deposit or gamble (since 7 May 2019), and that verification kicks in before a free bet or bonus as well. There is no anonymous play at any GB-licensed site.
Player protection and safer gambling tools
Every GB-licensed remote operator is in GAMSTOP, the national multi-operator online self-exclusion scheme, and that has been a mandatory licence condition since 31 March 2020. Self-exclusion can be set for six months, one year, five years, or five years with auto-renewal. After the minimum period the exclusion stays in force for a further seven years unless the customer asks GAMSTOP to remove it. GAMSTOP covers online sites and apps; betting shops use a separate service.
A licensed operator must run a financial vulnerability check (LCCP condition 3.4.4, in force since 30 August 2024) once a customer’s deposits minus withdrawals cross £150 in a rolling 30 days — a step that was live from 28 February 2025. This is a public-record check (bankruptcy, county court judgments and the like), not an income check, and not a credit-reference check. Financial risk assessments — the affordability checks of the press coverage — were announced in a staged plan in a Commission article of 7 July 2026 with no start date. The honest summary is “announced, staged, no start date”, and not “in force”. A first phase of the deposit-limit regime (RTS 12) has applied since 31 October 2025; a second phase was postponed to 30 September 2026, and whether it has now gone live is not established. There is no state-set deposit or loss ceiling for betting: limits are the customer’s own choice.
Help is available outside the operators. GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline, GambleAware funds treatment and advice, the NHS runs gambling clinics, and Gamblers Anonymous runs peer-support meetings.
Bonuses, free bets and what the wagering rule actually does
A Super Heinz is exactly the kind of bet the bonus machinery was built to slow down. Most GB-licensed welcome offers arrive as free bets or bet credits rather than cash, and the headline number on the promotional page is rarely the figure the wager returns in winnings: the free bet stake is usually not paid back with a win, the winnings from it become withdrawable only after any wagering condition is cleared, and the minimum price for a qualifying bet is the rule most often missed.
Promotion rules in force since 19 January 2026 cap wagering requirements on bonuses at 10x — a £10 bonus at 50x wagering needs £500 of bets before the bonus can be withdrawn, and under the cap no more than £100 of bonus need be cleared. Mixed-product promotions, where an offer requires gambling on two or more product types (betting plus casino, betting plus bingo, betting plus lottery), are banned outright. Free bets whose only condition is use on a sports bet are widely accepted outside the cap, though the operator’s own terms settle the question. No cap on the face value of a bonus itself was established.
On a Super Heinz the practical effect is significant. The 120 lines make almost any wagering requirement impossible to clear inside the offer’s window without committing serious volume, and most operators exclude multi-line bets from bonus clearing — a free bet placed as a Super Heinz either counts fully or counts not at all, depending on the brand’s terms. Read the minimum price for a qualifying leg (QuinnBet’s free bets, for example, are restricted to markets at 1/2 — 1.5 decimal — or greater, with maximum odds of 50/1, and exclude Trixies, Patents and Yankees: a Super Heinz, which is built from doubles and upwards, falls outside the excluded list and so is in theory permitted, but the minimum price on each leg is the real pinch). Where an offer is framed as “risk-free”, the refund is typically paid back as a free bet whose stake is not returned with a win — the word “free” carries the wagering rule with it.
Credit cards have been banned for gambling in Great Britain since 14 April 2020 (LCCP condition 6.1.2), and the ban covers credit-card-funded e-wallet top-ups too. Debit cards and bank-based payments are unaffected. No British list of approved payment methods was established — what a customer can deposit with is set by each operator’s own payment policy.
The shape of a Super Heinz in plain numbers
Seven selections. That is the only number a punter chooses; everything else is fixed by the structure.
A Super Heinz contains no singles. It is built only from doubles and larger multiples drawn from the seven picks. The count breaks down as follows.
| Combination size | Bets |
|---|---|
| Doubles | 21 |
| Trebles | 35 |
| Four-folds | 35 |
| Five-folds | 21 |
| Six-folds | 7 |
| Seven-fold | 1 |
| Singles | 0 |
| Total | 120 |
The patterns follow binomial coefficients. Doubles are the number of ways to pick 2 from 7 (21). Trebles are 3 from 7 (35). The rest follow the same arithmetic; the seven-fold is the single acca over all seven legs, and is the only line that returns anything meaningful if every leg wins.
Staking one penny a line costs £1.20 across all 120 bets. Staking £1 a line costs £120. Staking £2 a line — the figure this page works to in the worked example — costs £240. The total outlay is the unit stake multiplied by 120 every time, which is why most online Super Heinz bet slips default to a low unit stake: the multiplier is what makes the wager expensive in raw cash terms before any losing run is considered.
A Super Heinz sits between a Heinz (six selections, 57 bets) and a Goliath (eight selections, 247 bets), which is how the structure takes its name: one step beyond the Heinz, one short of the Goliath. All three are full-cover bets — the technical name for a bet that places every available multiple across a given number of selections. Lower covers exist: a Trixie takes three picks into 4 bets, a Patent 7, a Yankee 11, a Lucky 15 15, a Canadian or Super Yankee 26.
How void selections and Rule 4 change the structure
A void selection is the first mechanic every punter on a Super Heinz meets. When one of your seven legs is voided — a non-runner in a horse race, a match postponed beyond the operator’s cut-off, a player withdrawn before a player-market bet is struck — the bet drops to the next lowest multiple. A void treble settles as a double on the remaining selections. A void four-fold settles as a treble. A void seven-fold settles as a six-fold on the six legs still standing. The unit stake on the affected line is not lost; it is rerouted into the next combination.
Rule 4 is the second mechanic and lives almost entirely in horse racing. When a horse withdraws after the final declarations, the bookmaker applies a deduction to the win and place parts of every bet struck at fixed odds on the race. The deduction is expressed in pence in the pound: a Rule 4 of 25p takes 25p from every £1 of return, leaving 75p. Deductions scale with the withdrawn horse’s odds, and on a Super Heinz with several racing legs each Rule 4 deduction compounds across the affected lines — a four-fold that touches two withdrawn horses applies both deductions in turn.
The practical consequence is that a Super Heinz built from racing legs is rarely as clean to settle as the structure suggests, and the per-line Rule 4 deduction is the most common reason a settled return comes in lower than expected. Where one or more legs is from football, tennis or another sport with no Rule 4 regime, the void mechanic still applies but the deduction does not.
How odds and the bookmaker’s margin interact with the structure
The bookmaker’s margin sits inside every price a UK firm quotes, and it is the figure the punter pays before a bet is won or lost. The margin is what is left of every £1 staked across all outcomes of a market once the prices are summed — the rest is the payout share returned to winning customers.
The arithmetic is straightforward. For a three-way market such as a 1X2 football line at home 2.10 (decimal, 11/10), draw 3.40 (decimal, 5/2) and away 3.60 (decimal, 13/5), the implied probabilities sum to 1/2.10 + 1/3.40 + 1/3.60 = 0.4762 + 0.2941 + 0.2778 = 1.0481, and the margin is 1 − 1/1.0481, roughly 4.6%. A two-way market (match result after extra time, an over/under) carries a lower margin for the same reasoning, and a same-game accumulator or a heavily priced-up novelty market can carry a much higher one.
On a Super Heinz the margin multiplies across the 120 lines. A 5% margin on each leg, applied to the full cover on a £240 bet, is what the bookmaker expects to keep of that customer’s stake on average across an indefinite run of identical wagers — the figure is statistical rather than guaranteed for any single bettor. Across 120 lines a single leg’s price becomes 119 other lines’ prices too, which is why chasing the best price on each selection is the only meaningful edge a customer can find: a small per-leg price improvement compounds through every combination that contains that leg.
The per-line price is shown as fractional odds in Britain (5/1, 11/4, evens, 6/4) by convention; decimal odds (6.00, 3.75, 2.00, 2.50) are the equivalent value the bet settles against, and conversion is a/b in fractional → a ÷ b + 1 in decimal. “Odds-on” describes prices shorter than evens (1/2, 4/6, 2/5).
How a winning Super Heinz settles, worked through
Three illustrative selections at odds of 1/2 (1.50 decimal), evens (2.00 decimal) and 6/4 (2.50 decimal), and a stake of £2 a line across all 120 bets of the Super Heinz — total outlay £240. The numbers below are an illustration of the arithmetic, not a quoted price, and the actual return on any settled Super Heinz depends on the prices the bookmaker quotes at the time the bet is struck.
The return on a winning bet is the stake multiplied by the decimal odds; the profit is the stake multiplied by odds minus one. On a single line of the Super Heinz struck at 2.00 with a £2 stake the return is £4 — £2 stake back plus £2 profit — and on a line at 2.50 it is £5 — £2 stake back plus £3 profit. The seven-fold, the only line that pays out when every leg of the Super Heinz wins, multiplies all seven decimal prices together for one cumulative price.
On a Super Heinz where the seven legs return decimal prices p₁ through p₇, the seven-fold returns £2 × (p₁ × p₂ × … × p₇). With the three illustrative prices above applied to a hypothetical set of seven picks (the others assumed at 2.00 for the sake of the illustration), the seven-fold is the only line that returns anything meaningful in the strongest case, and the rest of the 120-line cover returns a long tail of small payouts from shorter combinations that contain the longer-priced legs.
Two effects drive the result. First, the sheer number of lines means a Super Heinz needs at least two or three winning legs to return more than its stake — even with seven doubles hit at 2.00 each, the return is £4 per £2 line for £84 total against a £240 outlay. Second, the value of any individual line is bounded by the price of the longest leg it contains: a treble of three legs at 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50 multiplies to 7.50, which pays £15 for a £2 stake, and that single line is largely what makes the wager attractive when one or two longer-priced legs win.
Stated as a band rather than a single figure: the settleable return on a £2-per-line Super Heinz at the illustration above ranges from £0 (all legs lose) to a maximum driven by the seven-fold when all seven win, with the realistic mid-range sitting well below £1,000 for selections clustered around evens and well above it when one or more legs is at 5/1 (6.00 decimal) or longer. The headline number the punter walks away with is a function of which legs hit and at what price — and almost never matches the figure a price-calculator pre-fills before the bet is struck.
Bookmakers reviewed for Super Heinz betting
The ten brands below hold a Gambling Commission remote licence for GB-licensed online betting and appear on the Commission’s public register. Each is presented as a reviewed bookmaker, not a recommendation. None of them is “the only” licensed brand — the register lists hundreds.
| Brand | Licence | What the operator’s terms state about full-cover wagers |
|---|---|---|
| Ladbrokes | Remote general betting standard (real events), remote betting intermediary — LC International Limited (Commission account 54743) | Each-way singles and combination bets supported; Acca Boosts apply on qualifying accumulators; void selections drop to the next combination in line with the operator’s standard rule 4 / non-runner policy. |
| BetMGM | Remote general betting standard (real events) — LeoVegas Gaming PLC (Commission account 39198) | Welcome package is four £10 free bets on football accas (4+ selections) and sports multiples (2+ selections); minimum price and 7-day expiry apply; wagering on bonuses subject to the 10x cap. |
| NetBet | Remote general betting standard (real events) — Netbet Enterprises Limited (Commission account 39170) | Daily Boosts, Profit Boosts and free bet offers listed on the sportsbook; Bet Builder offers a same-game multi with instant dynamic odds; full-cover bets accepted at the discretion of the trading desk. |
| Fitzwilliam Sports | Remote general betting standard (real events) — SBKI Limited (Commission account 48760) | Prices sourced from Oddschecker’s average price per selection; full-cover bets accepted on the standard structure; mobile apps on Apple and Google. |
| Fitzdares | Remote general betting standard (real events) — Fitzdares Limited (Commission account 400) | Cash out, accumulators and Lucky 15s sit alongside ante-post markets on horse racing, football, tennis, rugby, cricket, golf and American football; full-cover bets accepted at the operator’s quoted prices. |
| Kwiff | Remote general betting standard (real events) — Eaton Gate Gaming Limited (Commission account 44448) | Supercharge can boost a settled price after stake (single example quoted at 2/1 → 20/1) on single or multi bets; minimum price and maximum boost apply per the published terms. |
| Octobet | Remote general betting standard (real events) — Octopus Game Limited (Commission account 62545) | Best Odds Guaranteed applies to UK and Irish horse racing up to £150 per customer per race; full-cover bets accepted on the standard structure; in-play and ante-post markets quoted. |
| Matchbook | Remote general betting standard (real events), remote betting intermediary — Triplebet Limited (Commission account 39504) | A betting exchange: customers back and lay against each other rather than against the bookmaker; multiple bets, Bet Builder and in-play live streaming of horse racing and greyhounds are supported; exchange commission applies. |
| Betfred | Remote general betting standard (real events) — Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited (Commission account 39544) | Bet Builder, Sub Switch (player-market replacement) and Extra Places supported on racing; full-cover bets accepted on the standard structure; bonuses subject to the 10x cap and the operator’s free-bet terms. |
| QuinnBet | Remote general betting standard (real events) — QuinnBet (Gibraltar) Limited (Commission account 61011) | Free bets valid for 7 days from credit, minimum odds 1/2 (1.50), maximum odds 50/1; straight accumulators permitted, but Trixies, Patents and Yankees excluded — all other full-cover combinations accepted at the operator’s discretion. |
How to read the table. The licence column is what appears on the Commission’s register against the named account number — the test of whether the brand is GB-licensed at the time of the check. The third column summarises the operator’s published terms on full-cover wagering, free bets and any boost feature that materially changes the cost of a Super Heinz to the punter.
Outside this featured set there are other GB-licensed bookmakers (Kalooki Sportsbook is one, run by Kalooki Sports Book Ltd under company number 12938274 and Gambling Commission account 57730, in GAMSTOP), and GB-licensed firms beyond it: Midnite (Commission account 101839), Unibet UK (run by Platinum Gaming Limited under Commission account 45322, in operation since 1999), BetMGM UK (the same LeoVegas Gaming PLC licence under account 39198), 10bet (10bet Limited under licence 43173), Lottoland UK (licensed by the Commission for Great Britain customers), Spreadex (FCA-regulated for spread betting and Commission-regulated for fixed-odds betting), Copybet (Copybet UK Limited under account 53774). None of those is treated here as part of the ranking; they are the wider licensed market.
Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes runs the British high-street bookmaker’s full online operation under LC International Limited (Commission account 54743). Best Odds Guaranteed is offered on UK and Irish horse racing — once the SP beats the price the punter took, the book pays out at the bigger number. Acca Boosts apply to qualifying accumulators. Odds boosts on horse and greyhound bets are routine; in-play betting covers football, tennis and the major US sports. Combination bets such as the Super Heinz are settled on the operator’s standard non-runner and Rule 4 policy: a void leg drops to the next combination, a Rule 4 deduction applies on racing withdrawals. For the punter weighing whether the Ladbrokes brand is the right home for a Super Heinz, the answer depends less on the structure itself (which the platform supports as a matter of course) and more on the price the operator quotes on each leg against the published average.
BetMGM
BetMGM UK is published by LeoVegas Gaming PLC, which holds Commission account 39198. The sports welcome package for new UK customers who deposit £10 or more and place a sports bet within 7 days is four £10 free bets — two on football accas of four or more selections and two on sports multiples of two or more. The free bets are valid 7 days from credit, with a minimum odds requirement and an opt-in. The Super Heinz sits inside the “sports multiples of 2+ selections” envelope, since every line in the structure is a double or larger. Wagering on the bonus attached to a settled free-bet win is subject to the 10x cap in force from 19 January 2026, and the operator’s own terms on which markets count toward clearing are checked on the bonus page itself. Brand verdict: the welcome is generous on paper and modest in cleared value once the wagering condition is applied, and the Super Heinz is best treated as a wager on a settled wallet rather than a wagering vehicle.
NetBet
NetBet runs under Netbet Enterprises Limited, Commission account 39170. The sportsbook features Daily Boosts, Profit Boosts and free bet offers alongside a Bet Builder with instant dynamic odds. Sports stats for the major leagues sit alongside the price ladder, which is helpful when pricing up a Super Heinz by hand. The brand treats full-cover bets at the trading desk’s discretion and applies its standard each-way and non-runner rules. Brand verdict: well-priced for the stat-checking punter, lighter on welcome value than the bigger UK-facing brands, and reasonably transparent on the marginal rules that govern how a settled Super Heinz is paid out.
Fitzwilliam Sports
Fitzwilliam Sports is the trading name of SBKI Limited on the Commission’s register (Commission account 48760). Its pricing is benchmarked to Oddschecker’s average price per selection, which is the closest a customer can come to a market-average quote without leaving the brand. The mobile app is on Apple and Google. Combination bets settle under the operator’s standard full-cover terms, and a punter treating the platform as a price-follower rather than a price-leader can plug a Super Heinz into the bet slip confident the lines will track the wider market. Brand verdict: an average-price bookmaker that suits the punters who care about the published market margin and care less about flashy boosts.
Fitzdares
Fitzdares trades under Fitzdares Limited (Commission account 400), one of the older GB-licensed brands. The product set runs to cash out, accumulators, Lucky 15s, specials and ante-post markets on horse racing, football, tennis, rugby, cricket, golf and American football, with in-play live odds. Combination bets are standard; a Super Heinz settles on the same non-runner basis as every other operator covered here. The clientele the brand cultivates — racing-led, ante-post heavy — is not the Super Heinz’s natural home, but the structure is accepted at the operator’s quoted prices. Brand verdict: a credible second account for the racing-focused punter who wants a Super Heinz for a once-a-week football card without leaving the brand.
Kwiff
Kwiff is operated by Eaton Gate Gaming Limited under Commission account 44448 and runs a Supercharge feature that can boost the odds on a bet after stake — the publisher’s example is from 2/1 (3.00 decimal) to 20/1 (21.00) on a single bet, with the boost applicable to single or multi bets on any sport. App Store age rating is 17+. On a Super Heinz, a Supercharge on a single leg does not directly enhance the leg’s price inside the combination, but the platform’s combination pricing is a function of the prices the book takes at strike; full-cover bets are accepted at the operator’s quoted prices under its published terms. Brand verdict: a Supercharge is a marketing word for a post-stake price tweak, useful on a single or short multiple, and largely irrelevant to the Super Heinz’s settled arithmetic.
Octobet
Octobet is Octopus Game Limited’s trading brand (Commission account 62545). Best Odds Guaranteed applies to UK and Irish horse racing, capped at £150 per customer per race. In-play and ante-post markets are quoted on football and racing. Combination bets including the Super Heinz settle on the operator’s standard full-cover structure; a non-runner or void leg drops to the next combination, and Rule 4 applies on racing withdrawals. Brand verdict: the £150 BOG cap is the constraint worth knowing for racing-heavy cards, and on a Super Heinz built largely from racing legs that limit interacts with each Rule 4 deduction on the affected lines.
Matchbook
Matchbook is the betting exchange in the reviewed set, operated by Triplebet Limited under Commission account 39504 — a remote betting intermediary rather than a conventional bookmaker. Customers back and lay against each other, with Bet Builder, multiples, in-play and live streaming of horse racing and greyhound racing supported. Exchange commission replaces the bookmaker’s margin on every settled bet, and a Super Heinz struck on the exchange is settled at the cumulative back-side price across all 120 lines. The economics of a Super Heinz on an exchange are different in kind — there is no single bookmaker margin to absorb, but the available liquidity at the price the punter wants is thinner on a multi-leg wager than on a single. Brand verdict: the alternative worth trying for the punter who has priced a Super Heinz at the bookmaker’s prices and wants to see whether the lay side or back side of an exchange gives a better deal.
Betfred
Betfred is Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited’s UK-facing brand (Commission account 39544). The app features Bet Builder, Sub Switch (a player-market replacement feature), Racing Post data integration, Extra Places on selected racing markets, live casino and bingo. Combination bets settle on the operator’s standard full-cover rules. Wagering on bonuses is subject to the 10x cap, and the operator’s free-bet terms on minimum price and qualifying markets apply. Brand verdict: a strong racing-led brand with a Super Heinz treated as a routine multiple rather than a featured product, well-suited to the punter whose card is built from football acca legs.
QuinnBet
QuinnBet operates under QuinnBet (Gibraltar) Limited (Commission account 61101 — the listed account 61011 is the Commission’s entry for the licence, with the operator’s account number quoted as the register’s identifier; the published terms page is the source the brand quotes to). The published free-bet rule: 7 days from credit, minimum odds 1/2 (1.50), maximum odds 50/1, straight accumulators allowed, Trixies, Patents and Yankees excluded. Other full-cover combinations — the Heinz, the Super Heinz, the Goliath — fall outside the excluded list and are accepted subject to the operator’s general terms. Brand verdict: a useful second account for the punter who values a brand-transparent free-bet rule and wants to place a Super Heinz without ambiguity over which combinations the free bet may be placed on.
What to keep an eye on before placing the bet
The Super Heinz is one of the heaviest full-cover wagers a UK punter can build, and the price question runs all the way through. Three rules keep the cost honest: check each leg’s price against a published market average (Oddschecker or a similar price-aggregator) before strike; read the operator’s non-runner and Rule 4 policy if any leg is from horse racing; and place the wager on a wallet that is not actively clearing a bonus, where clearing turnover on a 120-line bet inside a 7-day window is rarely a sensible bet. The shape of the structure does the rest: 120 lines, no singles, every leg carrying the bookmaker’s margin, and the seven-fold as the only realistic return path when all seven win.
Frequently asked questions
How many bets are in a Super Heinz?
One hundred and twenty. The structure contains 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and 1 seven-fold across the seven selections, with no singles. A standard unit stake of £1 makes the total outlay £120, and £2 a line makes it £240.
How does a Super Heinz differ from a Heinz and a Goliath?
A Heinz is built from six selections across 57 bets (15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds and 1 six-fold), and a Goliath from eight selections across 247 bets (28 doubles, 56 trebles, 70 four-folds, 56 five-folds, 28 six-folds, 8 seven-folds and 1 eight-fold). A Super Heinz sits between them at seven selections and 120 bets.
What is the smallest Super Heinz bet a UK bookmaker will accept?
The minimum stake per line is set by each operator and is usually 1p, 2p or 5p, which makes the smallest practical Super Heinz outlay £1.20, £2.40 or £6 depending on the brand. The £10 minimum bet that often applies on the bet slip is for a single line, not the full cover.
What does a winning leg pay out at, and how is the return calculated?
The return on a winning bet is stake multiplied by decimal odds; profit is stake multiplied by (odds − 1). A £10 single at 5/2 (3.50 decimal) pays £35 (£25 profit); a £10 double at 2.00 and 3.50 decimal pays £70 (£50 profit). On a Super Heinz the same arithmetic applies line by line across all 120 bets.
What is the bookmaker’s margin and how does it affect a Super Heinz?
The margin is the share of every pound staked that the book expects to keep across all outcomes of a market once the prices are summed — typically 2–8% on mainstream sports, higher on same-game multiples and novelty markets. On a Super Heinz the margin compounds across the 120 lines: a 5% margin on each leg is roughly what the book expects to keep of the customer’s stake on average across a long run of identical wagers.
How can I check that a bookmaker holds a Gambling Commission licence?
The Commission’s public register is searchable by business name, trading name, domain or account number. Any operator taking bets from customers in Great Britain must appear on the register, and the account number the operator publishes in its terms is the one to look up. A licence from another jurisdiction (Malta, Curaçao, Gibraltar) is not a substitute for a GB licence to serve GB customers.
