A Lucky 63 is a popular multi-selection bet for horse racing involving six selections but capable of providing a big payout for a small stake if you are successful. In this article we will explain how a Lucky 63 bet works and how to calculate the odds of a Lucky 63 bet.
We have also provided a sports betting odds tool to help you work out the returns of a Lucky 63 bet. But first, let’s explain what a Lucky 63 is.
What Is a Lucky 63 Bet?
A Lucky 63 gets its name from the fact that even though you are making only six selections, those horses are combined in a way that produces 63 individual bets involving the full range between one and all six choices.
With a Lucky 63, as the name suggests, you are placing 63 individual bets made up of six singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds and six five-fold accumulators plus a six-fold accumulator encomapssing every selection.
The attraction of the bet is that if you go close to landing the jackpot by choosing three, four or five winners but miss out on getting a full set of winners, you can still land a substantial payout from the successful selections you do make.
There’s plenty of potential profit in the doubles, trebles and fourfolds from a Lucky 63 bet and our Lucky 63 Bet Calculator is an essential sports betting odds tool to help you figure out the Lucky 63 bet returns on your wagers.

It may seem like a lot of stakes to cover, but that is why a Lucky 63 is a bet with a typically small stake but even so, the payout can potentially be massive if you are on the mark with even half of your selections.
If all six of your horses win, all 63 bets will produce a return, and the profits will quickly roll up to a sizeable amount, even with the smallest of stakes.
This kind of bet can also suit punters who like to back horses at big prices as if you hit on even three or four each-way in the same bet, the multiplied odds can be huge (remember that an each-way Lucky 63 will require 126 times your unit stake including the place elements).
One of the advantages of a Lucky 63 bet is that you can cover your stakes and quickly secure a decent profit if only two or three of your selections win.
