What Does ‘Super Heinz’ Mean in Sports Betting?

A “Super Heinz” is a large, complex “full cover” bet that involves making seven selections (e.g., picking seven different horses to win seven different races).

This single wager is actually 120 separate bets combined into one. The purpose of a Super Heinz is to cover all possible multiple-bet combinations of your seven selections, increasing your chances of a return even if not all your picks win.

How a Super Heinz Bet Works

When you make seven selections and place a Super Heinz, your stake is multiplied by 120 to cover all the bets. For example, a £1 Super Heinz would cost £120.

The 120 bets are broken down as follows:

21 Doubles: Every possible 2-selection combination.
35 Trebles: Every possible 3-selection combination.
35 Four-Folds: Every possible 4-selection combination.
21 Five-Folds: Every possible 5-selection combination.
7 Six-Folds: Every possible 6-selection combination.
1 Seven-Fold Accumulator: All seven selections in one bet.

Total Bets: 120

Key Features of a Super Heinz

Minimum Wins Needed: You must have at least two of your seven selections win to get any money back (as the bet does not include single bets).
High Cost, High Reward: Because you are placing 120 bets, the total stake can be very high. However, if multiple selections win, the returns can be substantial, as you are winning on many different combinations simultaneously.
Profitability: You will likely need three or more of your selections to win (depending on their odds) to make an overall profit on your initial £120 stake.

Super Heinz vs. Heinz Bet

The Super Heinz is an expansion of the standard “Heinz“ bet.

Heinz Bet: 6 selections, 57 bets (named after the “57 varieties” slogan).
Super Heinz Bet: 7 selections, 120 bets.

Each-Way Super Heinz

You can also place an Each-Way Super Heinz. This is even larger, as it doubles the number of bets to cover both the “win” and the “place” for each selection.
