In this post, we will explore what a Super Heinz bet is, some similar bets available and exactly how a Super Heinz bet works. 

By the end of it, we should have the basics of the Super Heinz bet explained so that you, dear reader, have a full understanding of this exciting betting option!

So let’s begin by answering the main question of what is a Super Heinz Bet?

Exactly What Is A Super Heinz Bet?

A Super Heinz bet is a form of multiple selection full cover bet. What do we mean by that?

• Multiple Selection – A bet made up of more than one selection on the bet slip.
• Full Cover Bet – A bet which covers all combinations of the selections made including doubles, trebles and other combinations of selections up to an accumulator incorporating every selection.

All full cover bets are distinguished from each other by their names. The names they are given are related to the number of selections made for each bet, or for the total number of combinations (or lines) covered by that particular bet.

A Super Heinz bet is a full cover bet that comprises of seven selections. These seven selections are combined in the following permutations:

• 21 Doubles
• 35 Trebles
• 35 Four-fold accumulators
• 21 Five-fold accumulators
• 7 Six-fold accumulators
• 1 Seven-fold accumulator

If you add up all these different permutations (or lines) of the bet, there are 120 individual lines to be covered. 

As such, for a unit stake of £1, a Super Heinz bet would cost £120 to place with a bookmaker.  You can see this option at the foot of the screenshot for seven football and horse racing selections made with bet365.

All popular bookmakers, such as bet365 Sport, offer the option to place a Super Heinz bet when seven qualifying selections are available on the bet slip.

What Are The Options for Winning A Super Heinz Bet?

In order to generate a return, not all selections on a Super Heinz Bet must win. However, at least TWO must win in order for any return to be generated.

However, with 120 lines covered, if only two selections from your seven win, then the bet is unlikely to turn a profit for you.

The more of your seven selections that win, then the more individual bets will win and the higher the value of the total return will be. The biggest returns come if six or all seven of your selections were to win.

As this bet comprises of multiple lines, it is a bet that will see all winning lines from a bet added together to give you a final return on the bet. Check out the example below.

Super Heinz Bet Returns – Example 1

A punter places a Super Heinz bet with a £1 unit stake (£120). Out of his seven selections, three selections win. Selection A at 2/1 (3.00), Selection D at 4/1 (5.00) and Selection G at 5/1 (6.00).

Therefore out of the 120 combinations covered by this bet the following bet lines are a winner.

• Double Bets – A & D, A & G and D & G
• Treble Bet – A, D & G.

Each line is covered by a £1 stake, so the winning payouts for each of these bets is as follows:

Winning Doubles (3)

• A & D – (3.00 x 5.00) x 1.00 = £15.00
• A & G – (3.00 x 6.00) x 1.00 = £18.00
• D & G – (5.00 x 6.00) x 1.00 = £30.00

Total Double Winnings – £63.00

Winning Trebles (1) 

• A & D & G (3.00 x 5.00 x 6.00) x 1.00 = £90.00

Total Treble Winnings = £90.00

Total Double Winnings = £63.00

Total Super Heinz Bet Return on this bet – £153.00 ( with a £120.00 stake = £33.00 Profit)

This is a modest profit, especially considering the initial stake, but when you land many more winners in a Super Heinz Bet, the total returns increase massively.

Super Heinz Bet Returns – Example 2

A lucky punter places a Super Heinz Bet with a £1 unit stake on seven selections. All seven selections win at odds of Evens (2.00), 2/1 (3.00), 3/1 (4.00), 4/1 (5.00), 5/1 (6.00), 6/1 (7.00) and 7/1 (8.00).

This means that all lines in the bet are winners. And the cumulative return on just such a successful Super Heinz Bet would be a huge £181,404 of which £181,284 would be clear profit.

This exemplifies a good general rule of thumb to follow for Super Heinz Bets: The more winners you pick, the bigger your return will be and the more likely the bet will earn you a profit.

On Which Sports Can I Place Super Heinz Bets?

Traditionally, Super Heinz Bets were placed on horse racing or greyhound racing, but nowadays, you can include many different types of betting markets from a variety of sports for your Super Heinz Bet.

Football is a very good example of this, especially betting on the outcome of football matches. However, you can also use similar markets from sports such as Basketball, Tennis, American Football, Darts, Snooker and many more.

Many bookmakers now allow customers to combine markets from various sports and events into a Super Heinz Bet. Just remember to check that the option is available on your bet slip, once you have made your seven selections for the bet.

How Did The Super Heinz Bet Get Its Name?

Fans of the UK TV Comedy Show ‘Peep Show’ may recall a character called “Super Hans” and wonder if that has anything to do with this particular bet. The answer is, no it does not.

The bet is called a Super Heinz Bet because it is one selection more than a standard Heinz bet, which runs to six selections and which has 57 lines to cover. Heinz’s 57 varieties being the inspiration for that bet.

A Super Heinz is one more selection, so it is simply a bigger version of the Heinz bet.

The full list of names for Full Cover Bets from three selections onwards is as follows:

• 3 Selections – Trixie (4 lines)
• 4 Selections – Yankee (11 lines)
• 5 Selections – Canadian or Super Yankee (26 lines)
• 6 Selections – Heinz (57 lines)
• 7 Selections – Super Heinz (120 Lines)
• 8 Selections – Goliath (247 lines)

Super Heinz Betting Tips

Outlined below are a number of tips to help you get the most from your Super Heinz bets placed!

• Combining lower odds selections with a higher chance of success with a smaller number of better-priced options with a lower chance of success is an approach favoured by many punters with all types of Full Cover Bets. 
• Reduce your Unit Stake to keep the total bet price down. 
• Each Way Super Heinz Bets are possible, but only if the selections you make include an option for place betting (such as horse racing or greyhounds). Each Way Super Heinz Bets will also cost 2x the standard Super Heinz bet as you have to cover the Win and Place options for each of the seven selections. This means 240 bets to cover with a unit stake. 
• Full Cover Bets offer an alternative to accumulator betting and are more flexible as you only need two or more of your selections to win to generate a return. 
• Use your Bet Slip to see the full range of returns possible for each combination of selections in your Super Heinz Bets as well as your Total Potential Return should all seven selections win.

Super Heinz Bets are a popular option for punters who want a more flexible option than a seven-fold accumulator and who are willing to cover the different lines available to cover all potential outcomes for the bet. 

Always remember to gamble responsibly.
