What is a Super Heinz Bet? – Get Super Heinz Betting Explained
If you’ve ever wondered what is a Super Heinz bet, then this is the article for you. We’re going to explain how a Super Heinz works and everything you need to know about this type of bet.
What is a Super Heinz Bet?
In order to give a Super Heinz bet meaning, it’s possibly helpful to start by explaining what a regular Heinz bet is. A Heinz is a system bet with six different selections. Every permutation of these six choices is included in this combination wager, totally 57 different bets. The food brand Heinz, famously boasted of having 57 varieties, hence the name.
A Super Heinz, meanwhile, has seven selections. This creates a total of 120 bets and we’re going to explain exactly how that can be broken down.
How Does a Super Heinz Bet Work?
As we said, there are seven selections in a Super Heinz. To demonstrate all 120 combination bets, we’re going to assign a letter to each selection – A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Here’s the full list of the 120 combinations.
- 21 Doubles – AB, AC, AD, AE, AF, AG, BC, BD, BE, BF, BG, CD, CE, CF, CG, DE, DF, DG, EF, EG, FG
- 35 Trebles – ABC, ABD, ABE, ABF, ABG, ACD, ACE, ACF, ACG, ADE, ADF, ADG, AEF, AEG, AFG, BCD, BCE, BCF, BCG, BDE, BDF, BDG, BEF, BEG, BFG, CDE, CDF, CDG, CEF, CEG, CFG, DEF, DEG, DFG, EFG
- 35 Four-fold Accas – ABCD, ABCE, ABCF, ABCG, ABDE, ABDF, ABDG, ABEF, ABEG, ABFG, ACDE, ACDF, ACDG, ACEF, ACEG, ACFG, ADEF, ADEG, ADFG, AEFG, BCDE, BCDF, BCDG, BCEF, BCEG, BCFG, BDEF, BDEG, BDFG, BEFG, CDEF, CDEG, CDFG, CEFG, DEFG
- 21 Five-fold Accas – ABCDE, ABCDF, ABCDG, ABCEF, ABCEG, ABCFG, ABDEF, ABDEG, ABDFG, ABEFG, ACDEF, ACDEG, ACDFG, ACEFG, ADEFG, BCDEF, BCDEG, BCDFG, BCEFG, BDEFG, CDEFG 7
- 7 Six-fold Accas – ABCDEF, ABCDEG, ABCDFG, ABCEFG, ABDEFG, ACDEFG, BCDEFG
- 1 Seven-fold Acca – ABCDEFG
Be Prepared for Large Multiple of Unit Stake
Having seen the full array of bets, you may be wondering what is Super Heinz bet total outlay. It’s 120x the stake. So, if your unit stake was £1, a Super Heinz bet would see you stake a total of £120, which might sound a little expensive. The good news is that you can choose very small unit stakes. A 5p unit stake for example, would only result in a total stake of £6.
In order to get some returns from the leading online bookies off this bet, you just need one double to come in. That would be unlikely to result in any profit, unless your selections had big odds. In most cases, you might need more winners amongst your selections to turn a profit, though again, that’s very much dependent on the prices of your choices.
Super Heinz Bet Example
Let’s show you an example of a Super Heinz, complete with odds, results and returns.
We’ll identify the selections by the odds, in a fractional format. They are 1/2, 5/6, 1/1, 2/1, 5/2, 3/1 and 7/2. Our stake is £1 per unit bet, totalling £120.
Of those selections, 5/6, 1/1, 2/1 and 5/2 all win. The losers are 1/2, 5/2 and 3/1.
With these set of results, the bets would be calculated on as follows.
| Type | Total Bets | Total Winners | Total Stake | Total Return | Profit/Loss |
| Doubles | 21 | 6 | £21.00 | £39.09 | £18.09 |
| Trebles | 35 | 4 | £35.00 | £64.08 | £29.08 |
| 4-Folds | 35 | 1 | £35.00 | £38.50 | £3.50 |
| 5-Folds | 21 | 0 | £21.00 | -£21.00 | -£21.00 |
| 6-Folds | 7 | 0 | £7.00 | -£7.00 | -£7.00 |
| 7-Fold | 1 | 0 | £1.00 | -£1.00 | -£1.00 |
| Total | 120 | N/A | £120 | £141.67 | £21.67 |
What is a Super Heinz Bet in Horse Racing?
The origins of the Super Heinz come from betting on horse racing meetings across the card. Many fixtures have at least seven races in them, meaning that you could fill an entire Super Heinz with selections from a single day of action from your chosen racetrack.
Rather than placing a number of separate bets, many punters prefer to put their wagers together in a system bet, giving them an interest in the entire day. Even major meetings such as Royal Ascot and the Cheltenham Festival have seven races per day and can therefore support a Super Heinz.
With several racecourses hosting fixtures each day, across the UK, Ireland and the rest of the world, you could alternatively pick out a Super Heinz from across today’s racecards if you wanted to. With relatively large odds available in horse racing, even for favourites, you can win big with a Super Heinz.
What is a Super Heinz Bet in Football?
Football fans love acca bets. On a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, when there are lots of matches, or on a busy European night, punters can place a number of football bets online together, in the hope of landing a big jackpot.
With of the disadvantages of a straight acca bet is that if one or more of your selections don’t win, then your accumulator will be a loser. If you pick out seven selections and four win, that’s a decent amount of accuracy, but it would not be reflected with straight acca betting only yielding returns if all legs are successful.
With a Super Heinz, those four winners could well see you turn a profit. This type of bet gives you more chance to get a return than a normal acca, plus there is a chance that all seven will land and you’ll land huge winnings.
What is a Super Heinz Each Way Bet?
As we’ve discussed, a Super Heinz is a popular bet amongst horse racing punters. We all know that each way betting is commonplace in horse racing, so it’s perhaps no surprise that it’s possible to place a Super Heinz bet each way. With an each way bet covering both a win and a place bet, there are now 240 unit bets, in this type of wager.
You might not be able to use an each way Super Heinz to cover all the races at a certain meeting. That’s because with races that have less than five runners, it is unlikely that there will be place terms offered, unless at the individual discretion of the bookie.
Place terms tend to be 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds, depending on the amount of runners. That means you need to make sure that the odds of your selections are big enough to justify an each way Super Heinz. A simple rule is to make sure that the odds are big enough that the each way odds after the place terms are applied, are at least Evens or 1/1. So for 1/4 place terms, the odds will need to be 4/1 or greater, while for 1/5 place terms you’ll wants odds of at least 5/1.
