What Is a Super Heinz Bet?
Now, what exactly is a Super Heinz bet? Well, it is a form of system betting that creates multiple accumulator wagers from seven individual selections. It combines these seven selections to create 120 different bets to cover all the possible outcomes of doubles, trebles, four-folds, five-folds, six-folds, and the seven-fold accumulator. So, with the Super Heinz system bet, a punter will have the following combinations in their single wager.
- 21 doubles
- 35 trebles
- 35 four-folds accumulators
- 21 five-fold accumulators
- 7 six-fold accumulators
- 1 seven-fold accumulator
For example, let’s say that a punter decides to make a Super Heinz wager on 7 horse racing selections – A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. In this case, the system wager will create 120 wager combinations, from doubles to the seven-fold accumulator. The table below shows how a typical Super Heinz bet example would look to cover all the possible accumulators.

An important thing to note when considering betting Super Heinz is that with this option, you are essentially placing 120 bets, which will also reflect in your wager. As a result, to calculate this bet type’s stake, you will need to divide your intended wager by 120, resulting in equal wagers for each combo. For example, if you choose to stake $120 on the wager, $1 will count for each combination (i.e. $120/120).
One of the best parts of the Super Heinz betting system is that, unlike the typical straight accumulator bets, all the 7 selections in the wager don’t have to pan out for you to get a payout. Since each combination is separate, you will get a payout if two selections prove accurate (i.e., AB, AC, AD, etc.). However, the payout size and whether or not you are profitable will depend on the odds of the winning selections. But the more the winning selections you have, the bigger the payout.
How to Calculate Super Heinz Odds and Payouts
Now that you understand Super Heinz’s meaning and how the wager works, let’s look at how to calculate the odds and payout. To understand how the odds work, note that each of the 120 combinations the wager creates are individual accumulator bets. So, the odds on each combo will be derived by multiplying the odds of the selections within it. To get the payout for your bet, you need to multiply the stake per combo on each winning combination that pans out.
For instance, let’s say that the selections of horses in the Super Heinz horse bet we explained in the example have equal odds of 3.0. The table below shows the odds breakdown for each combination and the potential winnings you will get with a $1 per combo wager (i.e., $120 for the entire wager).
| Combos |
Odds per Combo |
Win per combo |
Total Payout |
|
Doubles
|
3.0 x 3.0 = 9.0
|
9.0 x $1 = $9
|
21 x $9 = 189
|
|
Trebles
|
3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 = 27.0
|
27.0 x $1 = $27
|
35 x $27 = $945
|
|
Four-folds
|
3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 = 81.0
|
81.0 x $1 = $81
|
35 x $81 = $2,835
|
|
Five-folds
|
3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 = 243.0
|
243.0 x $1 = $243
|
21 x $243 = $5,103
|
|
Six-folds
|
3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 = 729.0
|
729.0 x $1 = $729
|
7 x $729 = $5103
|
|
Seven-fold acca
|
3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 = 2187.0
|
2187.0 x $1 = $2187
|
1 x $2,187 = $2,187
|
|
Total
|
$16,362
|
This Super Heinz bet example will yield a payout of $16,362 with a $120 wager if all selections win. The payout could be even bigger depending on the odds for each selection.

How to Place an Each-way Super Heinz Bet
Another exciting part of this betting option besides the regular option we explained is each way Super Heinz. This option involves placing 2 separate bets, the “win” wager and the “place” wager (i.e., for the selection to finish in one of the place positions).
As a result, you will be doubling the number of combinations on your wager from 120 to 240. It also means that the stake per combination will double to cover the additional 120 wagers on the place bets. For example, the wager initially costing $120 will double to $240 for the Super Heinz each way wager (i.e., $1 per combo x 240 bets).
The upside to integrating the each-way option into your Super Heinz wager is that even if none of your selections wins, you can still get a payout if they place instead (i.e., finish in the specified top positions). This betting option’s main essence is that it offers better chances for a return and the potential for bigger wins.
You should note that, unlike the regular Super Heinz bets that apply to most sports, the each-way Super Heinz system is more prevalent in horse and greyhound racing due to the place factor.
