The lucky 15 is a 4 selection wager consisting of 15 bets: 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and a four-fold accumulator.
The '15' part of its name comes from its 15 constituent bets and the ‘lucky' part comes from the fact it is often the target of bookmaker bonuses, the most common of which are an all winner bonus, a one looser bonus and an one winner consolation bonus. Bonuses typically take the form of a % increase in returns or increased odds in the case of the one winner consolation. Check with each bookmaker to find the most up-to-date information, also worth noting is that bonuses are rarely if ever paid on each-way parts of the bet. The bonus aspect of this wager makes it a popular choice for punters considering multiple selections. Each of the 4 selections has the same effect on returns, meaning the order in which bets are written on the slip is not important.
Choosing one or more winners will guarantee a return from this bet.
