LUCKY 31 BETTING EXPLAINED


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.

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.
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
