What is LUCKY 31 BET

A Lucky 31 bet is made up of five selections and involves 31 individual lines, ensuring it is a full coverage bet. You only need to have one winner on your bet to see some return on the initial investment.

LUCKY 31 BETTING EXPLAINED

A Lucky 31 is similar to a Canadian bet but also has singles. It consists of 31 bets on five selections in different events i.e. five singles, 10 doubles, 10 trebles, five fourfold accumulators and one fivefold accumulator. One or more selection must be successful to have a return. A £1 Lucky 31 costs £31.

We will look at a Lucky 31 bet based on racing at Chelmsford City as our first example on this page.

HORSE RACING LUCKY 31

Let’s first take a look at a win-only Lucky 31 bet example for racing at Chelmsford City. Once you have made your selections for this bet, you could decide to use a Lucky 31 Calculator to quickly identify the potential returns in relation to your intended starting stake.

Using the Lucky 31 bet Calculator, you can enter the odds of your selections and also determine the returns that you would pocket based on the number of winning lines you achieve. This is helpful in painting a clear picture in your mind before you make the bet as to what returns you should expect to see based on varying degress of success in your bet.

By using a resource like this, you are always fully informed before placing a Lucky 31 bet, particularly if you have not used this bet type before.

Remember, with this bet type you don’t need all your selections to win in order to earn a profit. You only need one winner to see some return on your money!

If all our selections are winners in this bet, the £1 Lucky 31 bet (total cost £31) would return £1623.22, giving a profit of just under £1600!

Four winning selections in this example could still give a return of £463 for an overall payout of close to 14/1 on the initial stake.

Even if only three of our selections prove to be winners, it would generate odds of 3/1 as seven lines (three doubles, three singles, one treble) have all come up on the Lucky 31 bet.

As with all multiples, the more winning lines we have, the more the overall return is going to be in your Lucky 31 betting.

LUCKY 31 BETS ON OTHER SPORTS

Now that we have answered the question what is a Lucky 31 bet, it is good to know that we can also use the Lucky 31 Bet on other sports as well as horse racing. Here, we are going to look at darts betting, which is one of the most popular sports in Europe right now!

Our bet is mostly going to focus on the Premier League of darts. In line with the Lucky 31 explained above, we have chosen five correct score markets to focus on for this particular bet.

Getting the correct score market spot on is not easy but, in this example, you would see a profit from your bet by having as few as two correct selections from the five chosen.

Of course, the perfect scenario on a Lucky 31 is to have winning selections and, as we will show below, this can result in a rapidly soaring return based on a relatively small initial stake.

In this case, our £1 Lucky 31 bet would return a total of £6430.30 if all legs are successful! As the Lucky 31 has complete coverage, we only need to have one winner in order to get some return on the initial stake.

A Lucky 31 can be equally effective with short-priced selections and longer odds. A Lucky 31 consisting of five even-money winners returns a total of £242!

We have now covered both the Lucky 15 and the Lucky 31. There is one more bet to come from this ‘family’, which is the Lucky 63 bet and we will see it later in the chapter
