A Super Heinz is one of the larger sport’s names — one tier past a Heinz and one short of a Goliath — and the headline number is the first thing anyone notices: 120 bets on seven selections, with no singles anywhere in the structure. Behind that figure sit questions a punter actually needs answered before clicking the slip: how is each line priced, what does it cost in stake, and what does a win on any combination actually pay back. The angle of this page is cost — not the marketing price, the arithmetic — and that is what the rest of it covers.

Seven-pick coverage: how to think about a bet with 120 lines

A full-cover bet takes a set of selections and runs every possible multiple across them — doubles, trebles, four-folds and so on up to one accumulator that contains them all. The “Heinz” family of names gives each tier of this coverage a label. A Heinz covers six selections across 57 bets. A Super Heinz covers seven across 120. A Goliath, the next step up, covers eight across 247. Each step adds selections and adds lines, and each line is its own priced bet — settled on its own, paid out on its own, kept on the slip whether it wins or loses.

The 120 breaks down as 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and 1 seven-fold. There are no singles, which is the structural fact that catches out a first-timer: even if only one of the seven selections wins, the slip does not pay out as a single. A Super Heinz needs at least two winners to return anything, and the smallest paying line is a double.

That structure is why the bet reads as a “cover” — the staking cost is fixed whether one leg wins or seven do, but the payout scales with how many legs land. The same seven selections in singles would be 7 bets; in a Super Heinz they are 120, because every combination is on the slip. The trade is real: you are paying for the chance that a handful of legs come in and combine into something larger than any single would have paid.

What the structure costs before the first race

The arithmetic is honest and unfriendly. If a punter sets the unit stake at £1 per line, a Super Heinz costs £120. At £2 per line it costs £240. The total stake scales linearly with the unit stake, because each of the 120 lines is its own bet at that price. A £10 unit stake pushes the slip to £1,200; a £10 unit stake on each of seven singles would cost only £70. The Super Heinz is not a cheap way to back seven opinions.

This is also where the marketing language usually hides. Phrases like “full-cover” and “all combinations on” sound like a perk; on a slip the perk is that you do not have to type 120 bets by hand. The cost is what the cost is, and the bettor pays it whether the bet wins overall or not. A Super Heinz is only worth placing when the bettor actually wants every combination on it.

Where a Super Heinz sits among other full-cover bets

The Heinz family is the standard ladder sport’s bookmakers offer under named labels. Trixie and Patent cover three selections, Yankee and Lucky 15 cover four, Super Yankee (or Canadian) covers five, Heinz covers six, Super Heinz covers seven and Goliath covers eight. The numbers — 4, 7, 11, 15, 26, 57, 120, 247 — are the count of bets at each tier, and they grow fast. Going from a Heinz to a Super Heinz adds 63 lines; going from a Super Heinz to a Goliath adds 127. Each rung up the ladder roughly doubles the line count.

A useful framing: each tier is the same idea expressed across more selections, and each rung up multiplies the stake by the ratio of line counts. If a punter is comfortable betting £1 per line on a 57-bet Heinz at £57, doubling the unit stake to a Super Heinz at £120 is the same proportional spend as before — it is not an escalation, it is the same bet extended by one selection. What does escalate is the total cash at risk, and that is what a bettor has to keep an eye on.

Working the odds: a payout worked out line by line

The bet is settled on each line independently. Every line’s payout is stake × odds, and the odds for a multiple are the product of the odds on each leg. A treble on three legs at 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00 settles at 2.00 × 3.00 × 4.00 = 24.00, so a £1 line pays £24 (return £24, profit £23). The same rule compounds up a Super Heinz’s 120 lines, with each line’s odds being the product of its legs’ odds. A winning seven-fold is the most spectacular line; a winning double is the smallest.

An illustrative case: three selections at 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50 (decimal), with a £10 accumulator stake. The accumulator line pays 1.50 × 2.00 × 2.50 = 7.50, so a £10 stake returns £75. Net profit on that one line: £65. The Super Heinz extension of this idea would push 120 such products across all combinations of seven picks at the chosen unit stake. A useful way to think of it: the largest line dominates the headline (one seven-fold pays the most), but the slip’s total return is the sum across every line that did.

A worked example with a fuller set: seven selections at decimal odds 1.50, 1.80, 2.00, 2.20, 2.50, 3.00 and 4.00, unit stake £2 per line, total stake £240. The seven-fold alone pays the product of these prices = 712.80 — return £1,425.60 on a £2 stake. The six-folds, in turn, are seven lines each omitting one leg, with odds equal to the seven-fold’s odds divided by the omitted leg’s odds, so a six-fold omitting the 1.50 leg pays 712.80 ÷ 1.50 = 475.20, and the seven six-folds together settle as their own payout bundle. The slip’s total return is the sum across all 120 lines, scaled by the unit stake.

A caveat: when a leg is void (a non-runner, an abandonment, a player withdrawn before kick-off), the bet drops to the next multiple down. A void leg in a treble turns it into a double; a void leg in a seven-fold drops it to the largest six-fold on the slip that omits that leg. Bookmakers handle void legs by recalculating the line, not by refunding the stake on that combination. The cash at risk changes when voids happen, and the slip’s payout reflects the recalculated lines.

How bookmakers price a Super Heinz

Each leg of a Super Heinz carries the bookmaker’s margin — the overround built into every price on a sportsbook. The leg’s “true” odds are the inverse of the implied probability (1.50 implies 66.7%, 2.00 implies 50%, 2.50 implies 40%); a sportsbook’s price on the same outcome is slightly lower than the true odds to bake in a margin. Across a 1X2 football market the margin typically sits in the 2%–8% band, with the major leagues tighter and the smaller leagues wider; on outright markets, novelty bets and non-sport specials it can run well into double digits.

The product pricing across a multiple compounds the margin. A treble on three legs at 5% margin each is not a 5% margin treble — it is closer to 14%, because each leg takes its cut. A seven-fold’s compounded margin is the sum of compounded single-leg margins, and a Super Heinz’s 120 lines each carry their own compounded margin. The bettor is paying the bookmaker’s take on every leg of every line; that is the cost the marketing rarely mentions. A Super Heinz is a high-margin product by construction, and a bettor who treats it as a way to get rich from small stakes is treating the line-count rather than the value.

A practical check on price: the bigger the price on each leg, the smaller the implied probability, and the more the slip depends on long-shots landing. A £2 Super Heinz on seven heavy favourites might return a few hundred pounds if all seven win; the same £2 on a slip including a 50/1 outsider pays thousands if everything lands, but the chance of every leg winning is the product of the individual chances. The price of a line is its payout if it wins; the chance of it winning is the inverse of the implied probability of the leg combination. The bigger the payout, the rarer the line.

Worked payout: a band, not a single figure

The page’s prescribed calculation asks for an illustrative payout band from three decimal prices and a £10 accumulator stake, or a £2-per-line full-cover example. Using decimal odds of 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50:

• A £10 accumulator on three legs: odds 1.50 × 2.00 × 2.50 = 7.50, return £75, profit £65.
• A £2 unit stake on a full-cover bet across those three selections: 7 bets at £2 each = £14 staked; the accumulator line alone returns £15 at 7.50 odds (£2 × 7.50), and the three doubles and three singles combine into a return that is conditional on how many legs win.

The same idea scaled to seven legs at a £2 unit stake is a Super Heinz at £240 total. The payout band, given an illustrative mix of decimal prices from 1.50 to 4.00 on the seven legs, runs from “a few hundred pounds if only doubles and trebles land” to “several thousand pounds if a six-fold or the seven-fold lands”. The band is wide because the bet’s structure is wide — it is a bet that pays in 120 different ways, and each line pays at its own price. The fairest way to read a Super Heinz’s potential payout is as a probability-weighted sum across all 120 lines, not as a single headline figure.

Where Super Heinz bets sit in a betting strategy

Strategy talk about Super Heinz bets usually goes one of two ways. The first is bankroll management: the argument is that spreading stake across 120 lines diversifies risk, because a slip with several winners pays even when the seven-fold misses. The second is the longshot framing: the argument is that a Super Heinz lets a punter back a handful of longshots without picking which combination of them will land. Both are defensible; both have a price.

The bankroll framing

The bankroll framing treats a Super Heinz as a way to keep stake in play across many outcomes. If a punter picks seven selections confidently — say, four strong favourites and three mid-range picks — the Super Heinz structure pays on every combination of two or more winners. A punter who has been right six times out of seven still gets a payout, because the six-fold and most of the five-folds and four-folds settle. The bet does not need perfection; it needs a high hit rate across the seven legs.

The cost is the stake. At £2 per line, the slip is £240; at £1 per line it is £120. That stake is committed before the first race, and it does not come back if fewer than two selections win. A punter using a Super Heinz as a bankroll hedge is committing a fixed sum for a window in which most of the lines will lose; the structure pays on the minority that hit, and the minority has to be big enough to clear the stake and the bookmaker’s margin. The framing works when the punter’s actual hit rate across the seven picks is high enough that the expected payout across all lines exceeds the stake plus the margin. That is a stricter test than it looks.

The longshot framing

The longshot framing treats a Super Heinz as a stake on combinations rather than outcomes. A punter who likes four or five longshots and a couple of favourites builds a slip where the longshots rarely all land together — but the payout when they do is large. A Super Heinz with five 10/1 shots and two 2/1 shots contains combinations at decimal odds in the hundreds and thousands; one or two of those lines landing turns the slip into a five- or six-figure payout.

The cost is the probability. Longshots lose more often than they win, and the more longshots on the slip, the more lines settle as losers. A Super Heinz built around longshots has a small chance of a large payout and a much larger chance of a small or zero payout. It is a lottery-shaped bet by construction. Treating it as a steady-earning strategy rather than a stake on a rare outcome is how a punter ends up paying a lot of stake for an occasional win that does not cover the cost of the slips that did not.

The honest framing

Neither framing is wrong, and neither is automatically right. A Super Heinz is a tool, not a strategy. It serves a punter who wants the structural convenience of 120 lines on one slip and who has priced each leg’s expected value individually. It does not serve a punter looking for a steady return, because every line on the slip carries the bookmaker’s margin. The honest reading: a Super Heinz is most often placed as a recreational stake on a multi-leg weekend of football or a Saturday of horse racing, with the unit stake kept low enough that the slip’s worst-case loss is a planned cost, not a blow to the bankroll.

How a Super Heinz settles in practice

Settlement is line by line, not slip-wide. The bookmaker prices each of the 120 lines independently, settles each on the result of its specific combination, and pays out the sum across all winning lines. A Super Heinz with five winners and two losers pays out on every line that includes only winning selections — doubles, trebles, four-folds and the five-fold among them. The two losing legs take their lines down with them: any line containing either loser settles as a loser.

The system then handles edge cases:

• A void leg drops to the next multiple down. A void leg in a treble turns it into a double; a void leg in a seven-fold turns the affected lines into six-folds. The recalculation is mechanical and follows the operator’s house rules.
• A dead-heat or a Rule 4 deduction on a horse racing leg changes the odds used for that leg’s settlement. Rule 4 is a bookmaker rule that adjusts prices when a non-runner pulls out of a race after the betting market has formed; the deduction is taken off the gross winning odds before the multiple is calculated.
• A withdrawn player before kick-off, in a football leg, typically voids that leg entirely, and the slip recalculates across the remaining six.
• Cash out is offered by some operators on full-cover slips during the event, but the price the bookmaker offers reflects the current state of the lines and is rarely generous. Cash out on a Super Heinz is a convenience, not a value move.

The settlement system is the same one that handles a Lucky 15 or a Goliath — every line on the slip is its own priced bet. A punter reading their settlement statement will see a list of 120 lines, each with its own outcome, its own stake and its own return. The total return is the sum across all winning lines.

Ten UK bookmakers that offer Super Heinz bets, and what each adds

The brands below are the operators the Gambling Commission’s public register lists as holding a remote general betting licence for Great Britain and that are widely carried by UK-facing betting apps and sites. The licence numbers are the Commission’s account numbers, which the register reconciles to the licence holder and the licence categories; sites are the domains the register lists against each account. None of this is a recommendation; a place in a comparison is not a licence. Offers are described as each operator’s own terms state them — no working code or claim link is published on this page.

Ladbrokes — odds boosts, Best Odds Guaranteed, Acca Boosts

Ladbrokes runs on the licence held by LC International Limited, with Commission account 54743 covering remote general betting standard (real events) and remote betting intermediary. Its app carries odds boosts on horse and greyhound bets, Best Odds Guaranteed on UK and Irish horse racing, in-play betting and acca boosts across sports. The Super Heinz sits inside the bet types menu alongside the rest of the Heinz family. The verdict: a mainstream pick with a deep markets list and the standard Heinz-family options priced to a major sportsbook’s margin.

BetMGM — four free bets on a £10 qualifying stake

BetMGM’s UK site is operated under the licence held by LeoVegas Gaming PLC, Commission account 39198, remote general betting standard (real events). The sports welcome offer is four £10 free bets — two football accumulators of four or more selections and two sports multiples of two or more — credited when a new customer deposits £10 or more and places a sports bet within seven days, valid for seven days, with minimum odds and an opt-in requirement. The Super Heinz counts as a sports multiple under most terms, but the qualifying-bet conditions should be checked before staking. The verdict: a competitive welcome package with strict timing and selection rules, attractive to a punter who plans their first week carefully.

NetBet — Daily Boosts, Profit Boosts, a bet builder with dynamic odds

NetBet is operated by NetBet Enterprises Limited under Commission account 39170, remote general betting standard (real events). Its app surfaces Daily Boosts, Profit Boosts and free bet offers alongside a bet builder with instant dynamic odds and sports stats for major leagues. The Super Heinz is available in the bet types menu. The verdict: a useful second-app choice with a clear boost programme and a bet builder that supports same-game multiples, well suited to a punter who mixes full-cover slips with singles.

Fitzwilliam Sports — Oddschecker-priced lines and dual-platform apps

Fitzwilliam Sports, run by SBKI Limited under Commission account 48760, bases its prices on Oddschecker’s average price for each selection, which can mean tighter margins on heavily-watched events. The brand carries Apple and Google mobile apps and offers a Heinz-family menu. The verdict: a price-led bookmaker, useful to a punter who likes to compare and who wants the Heinz family priced off an aggregator’s average rather than the bookmaker’s own line.

Fitzdares — Lucky 15s, antepost, specials across racing and ball sports

Fitzdares runs on the licence held by Fitzdares Limited, Commission account 400. The app surfaces cash out, accumulators, Lucky 15s, specials and antepost markets on horse racing, football, tennis, rugby, cricket, golf and American football, with in-play live odds. The verdict: a premium-positioned bookmaker with a broad sport set and a Heinz-family menu priced to its own book, suited to a punter who values the specials and antepost lines.

Kwiff — Supercharge boosts on singles or multis

Kwiff, operated by Eaton Gate Gaming Limited under Commission account 44448, runs a Supercharge feature that can instantly boost a bet’s odds — for example from 2/1 to 20/1 — on single or multi bets across any sport. The Super Heinz sits inside the multi-bet menu. The verdict: a value-positioned bookmaker for the punter who likes random odds boosts and is comfortable with the feature’s volatility.

Octobet — Best Odds Guaranteed with a £150-per-race cap

Octobet, run by Octopus Game Limited under Commission account 62545, offers Best Odds Guaranteed on UK and Irish horse racing up to £150 per customer per race. The Heinz family is in the bet types menu. The verdict: a useful horse-racing-focused bookmaker with a hard cap on its BOG promotion; a punter staking more than £150 on a single race on BOG terms should know the cap.

Matchbook — a betting exchange with bet builder, multiples and live racing

Matchbook, operated by Triplebet Limited under Commission account 39504 covering remote general betting standard (real events) and remote betting intermediary, is a betting exchange where customers bet against other users rather than against the book. The app carries bet builder, multiples, in-play betting and live streaming of horse racing and greyhounds. A Super Heinz on an exchange is a multi-leg back bet priced off other users’ lay offers; the mechanics of placing it differ from a sportsbook, because each leg is matched separately. The verdict: a structural alternative to a sportsbook for the punter who prefers exchange pricing, with the back-and-lay mechanics worth understanding before staking.

Betfred — Bet Builder, Sub Switch, Racing Post data

Betfred, operated by Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited under Commission account 39544, runs a Bet Builder, a Sub Switch feature for substituting players in same-game multiples, Racing Post data on racing, Extra Places and a Heinz-family menu. The verdict: a mainstream British bookmaker with deep racing products and a same-game-multi feature that pairs well with a Heinz slip on football.

QuinnBet — free bet conditions worth checking first

QuinnBet, run by QuinnBet (Gibraltar) Limited under Commission account 61011, carries the standard free-bet terms across the industry: free bets are valid for seven days from credit, usable on any market at odds of 1/2 (1.5) or greater, with a maximum odds cap of 50/1; straight accumulators are allowed but Trixies, Patents and Yankees are not. A Super Heinz is a full-cover bet of 120 lines and falls outside the named multiple list, so the exact treatment of a Super Heinz under a free bet should be checked on the operator’s own terms before staking. The verdict: a brand where the spread-back options are well-defined but the full-cover coverage under a free bet requires a direct read of the terms.

Landscape of the GB-licensed Super Heinz market

What a Super Heinz bet actually is

Strip the marketing away and a Super Heinz is one specific product: 120 bets across seven selections, no singles, settled line by line, paid out line by line. The number is fixed. The unit stake is the punter’s choice, and the total stake is 120 times the unit stake. The line prices are the products of the leg prices, and each leg carries the bookmaker’s margin. The payout is the sum across all winning lines, and the worst case is the slip losing every line.

The Heinz family has a ladder, and a Super Heinz sits one rung below a Goliath and one rung above a Heinz. Each rung up adds selections and roughly doubles the line count. A punter choosing between them is choosing between stake sizes and hit-rate profiles, and the right choice depends on what the punter actually wants the slip to do. The structure is honest: every combination on the slip, every line priced, every line settled.

The mechanics behind the name

A Heinz-family bet is named after the 57-bet “Heinz” — itself a marketing label for what is mathematically the set of all multiples from a six-selection field. The “57 varieties” was the historical Heinz food company’s slogan; sport’s bookmakers borrowed it for the 57 bets of a six-selection full cover. A Super Heinz extends the same idea to seven selections and 120 bets; a Goliath extends it to eight selections and 247 bets. The names are not the maths — the maths is the binomial coefficient — but the names are what an end customer sees on the bet slip.

The full-cover family is part of a wider set of named multi-bets. A Trixie covers three selections across 4 bets (3 doubles, 1 treble). A Patent covers the same three selections across 7 bets (3 singles, 3 doubles, 1 treble). A Yankee covers four selections across 11 bets. A Lucky 15 covers four selections across 15 bets (4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles, 1 four-fold). A Super Yankee or Canadian covers five selections across 26 bets. A Heinz covers six across 57 bets. A Super Heinz covers seven across 120. A Goliath covers eight across 247.

Each name is a label on a particular set of multiples. The same logic — pick a set of selections, generate every multiple across them — generates all of them. What changes is the selection count and the inclusion or exclusion of singles.

Legality in Great Britain

A Super Heinz bet is a sports bet. In Great Britain sports betting is licensed by the Gambling Commission under the Gambling Act 2005, which covers England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is outside the Act and runs on its own older law, so a “Great Britain licence” governs England, Scotland and Wales, not Northern Ireland. The Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 made it compulsory for any operator whose remote facilities are used in Great Britain to hold a Commission licence, wherever the operator is based; a Curaçao, Maltese or Gibraltar licence is not a substitute for a Commission licence at the point of consumption.

There is no statutory list of permitted bets or markets. An operator holds a licence for a category — remote general betting standard (real events) for a sportsbook, remote betting intermediary for a betting exchange, remote general betting standard (virtual events) for virtuals — and offers markets under its own rules and the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice. A Super Heinz bet sits inside the “real events” category at any operator holding that licence.

The Commission’s public register is the test of who holds a licence. It can be searched by business name, trading name, domain or Commission account number, and each record carries the licence categories and the licence holder’s name. The accounts cited in the table above are the register’s account numbers, not the remote-licence reference numbers; the full reference (the licence number plus the suffix) is what the register returns on a search. A reader can verify a brand’s licence status in two minutes on the register.

The minimum age is 18. Since 7 May 2019, name, address and date of birth are verified before a customer can deposit or gamble at a Commission-licensed operator, including when the bet is funded with a free bet or a bonus. A Super Heinz placed at a licensed operator is placed by an identified customer of legal age.

What may be bet on: any market the operator offers under its licence. In-play betting is offered by GB bookmakers, and the controls are the operator’s licence conditions and customer-protection duties, not a statutory list. Esports, virtual events, politics, TV shows and novelty markets are all within the operator’s discretion, subject to LCCP compliance. A Super Heinz on horse racing, a Super Heinz on Premier League football, a Super Heinz on esports — all of these are within the operator’s discretion at a Commission-licensed sportsbook.

What the licence does and does not require

The licence does not require an operator to offer every named multi-bet. A Super Heinz is a sportsbook product, and a Commission-licensed sportsbook may or may not carry it in its bet types menu. Most do; some do not. The licence requires the operator to settle bets on its published terms and to keep customer funds in a segregated account.

The licence does not cap stakes. There is no statutory stake ceiling in GB sports betting; the operator sets its own maximum stake and may restrict a customer if its own conditions warrant. A Super Heinz at £1 per line costs £120; a Super Heinz at £10 per line costs £1,200; the operator sets the upper limit.

The licence does not cap a payout. The bookmaker’s stake and payout limits are set by the operator and disclosed in its terms; a Commission licence does not impose a payout cap, but the operator’s house rules may. Reading the terms before staking a large Super Heinz is the right call.

What an unlicensed operator does not provide

Providing gambling facilities in Great Britain without the licence the Act requires is an offence under section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005 — on summary conviction up to 51 weeks’ imprisonment, a fine up to level 5, or both; six months in Scotland. The offence is aimed at the operator. A customer who bets on an unlicensed site does not commit an offence under the Act, but the customer loses the protections a licence provides: no GAMSTOP coverage, no Commission complaints route, no approved dispute-resolution body, no British consumer redress if funds are withheld, no obligation on the operator to honour the 10x bonus cap, the £150 financial vulnerability check or any other LCCP condition. The framing is honest: licensed = checks, limits, GAMSTOP and the bonus cap, alongside verification before the first bet; unlicensed = none of those protections and the possibility of losing funds.

Enforcement is disruption rather than blocking: cease-and-desist notices, search-engine referrals, work with registrars, hosts and payment providers. The Commission has been given, or is about to receive, court-order DNS blocking powers. ISP blocking is not in operation as of writing.

Responsible gambling at the Super Heinz price point

A Super Heinz is one of the higher-stake products on a sportsbook. At £1 per line the slip is £120; at £2 it is £240; at £5 it is £600; at £10 it is £1,200. A punter running a Super Heinz a few times a week at moderate unit stakes is committing real money, and the slip is settled in one go. The product deserves a read of the safer-gambling controls before staking.

GAMSTOP

GAMSTOP is the national multi-operator online self-exclusion scheme and a mandatory licence condition for online operators since 31 March 2020. Self-exclusion can be set for six months, one year, five years, or five years with auto-renewal. After the minimum period the exclusion stays in place for a further seven years unless the customer asks GAMSTOP to remove it. GAMSTOP covers online sites and apps; betting shops use a separate self-exclusion service. Every brand in the comparison above is a GAMSTOP member, including via their parent operators.

A punter who has set a GAMSTOP exclusion cannot place a Super Heinz at any Commission-licensed online bookmaker for the duration of the exclusion. The exclusion applies regardless of unit stake.

The £150 financial vulnerability check

Since 28 February 2025 a financial vulnerability check (LCCP condition 3.4.4, in force since 30 August 2024) applies to licensed remote betting when a customer’s deposits minus withdrawals exceed £150 in a rolling 30-day period. The check is a public-record check — bankruptcy, county court judgments, similar registers — not an income check and not a credit reference check. The check is a condition of continued play, not a one-time identity check, and it applies at every operator in the table above.

Financial risk assessments (the “affordability checks” of the press) are announced in a staged plan, with no start date as of writing. A punter should treat any change to the policy as worth reading at the Commission’s site.

Deposit limits

Operators must offer a gross deposit limit on a fixed time frame. The first changes applied on 31 October 2025; a second phase has been postponed to 30 September 2026, and whether it is in force is not established as of writing. There is no state-set deposit or loss ceiling for betting: limits are the customer’s choice. A punter placing a Super Heinz slip can set a deposit limit that prevents a top-up after the slip is placed, which is the kind of pre-commitment that suits a full-cover bet.

Help services

Help is available through GamCare (which runs the National Gambling Helpline), GambleAware, the NHS gambling clinics and Gamblers Anonymous. A punter who finds a Super Heinz slip harder to walk away from than expected has a clear route into confidential support.

Free bets, welcome offers and the cost of the bonus on a Super Heinz

Free bet offers on sports are common at GB-licensed bookmakers, and the Super Heinz slip is a candidate for the qualifying bet or the stake of a free bet — within the operator’s terms. The key figures to read are the wagering requirement, the minimum price, the deadline, the cap on free-bet winnings and the markets on which the free bet is allowed. The marketing words — “free bet”, “bet credits”, “risk-free” — describe an offer whose actual cost is in the small print.

Wagering requirements

Wagering requirements on bonuses are capped at 10x by the LCCP, in force since 19 January 2026. A £10 bonus at 50x needs £500 of bets to clear; under the cap no more than £100 of bonus needs to be wagered before withdrawal. The cap applies to bonuses with a wagering condition; free bets with no wagering condition sit outside the cap. A Super Heinz used to clear a bonus is fine so long as each line of the slip meets the operator’s minimum price.

Minimum price and qualifying markets

Free bets typically carry a minimum price — for example QuinnBet’s free bets are usable at 1/2 (1.5) or greater with a maximum odds cap of 50/1. A Super Heinz whose legs include any selection priced below the minimum price would not count toward the bonus requirement on that line. Reading the terms is the only way to know which leg prices qualify; the slip’s overall price is the product of the leg prices, and the leg prices are what the operator checks.

Deadline and cap on free-bet winnings

Free bets are typically time-limited. QuinnBet’s free bets are valid for seven days from credit; BetMGM’s welcome-offer free bets are valid for seven days. The cap on free-bet winnings — for example a maximum return on a free bet — is set by the operator’s terms. The Super Heinz’s 120 lines are all priced individually, and the cap applies to each line’s free-bet return, not to the slip’s aggregate payout.

Mixed-product promotions are banned

Promotion rules in force since 19 January 2026 ban mixed-product promotions — an offer that requires gambling on two or more product types such as betting, casino, bingo and lottery, for example “bet on football to get free spins”. A Super Heinz is a sports-only bet and sits inside the betting product. An offer that requires a Super Heinz to unlock a casino bonus would be a mixed-product promotion and would not be compliant.

The arithmetic of a “free” Super Heinz line

A free bet whose stake is not paid back is worth, on average, the free-bet amount × (odds − 1) ÷ odds × the market’s payout share. A £10 free bet at decimal odds of 5.00 on a market with a 95% payout share is worth £10 × 4.00 ÷ 5.00 × 0.95 = £7.60. The same calculation on a Super Heinz leg at decimal odds of 5.00 is the same arithmetic; the structure of the slip does not change the value of a single free-bet line. The £10 free bet is not a £10 stake — it is a stake whose expected value depends on the line price.

A bookmaker offering a £10 free bet on a Super Heinz line is offering £10 of expected value at most, and the actual expected value depends on the line price. A £10 free bet at decimal odds of 1.50 is worth £10 × 0.50 ÷ 1.50 × 0.95 = £3.17. A £10 free bet at decimal odds of 10.00 is worth £10 × 9.00 ÷ 10.00 × 0.95 = £8.55. The bigger the price, the closer the free bet’s expected value gets to its face value.

The marketing of a “free bet” tends to ignore this arithmetic. A £10 free bet at decimal odds of 1.50 is a £3-of-value offer; a £10 free bet at decimal odds of 10.00 is an £8.50-of-value offer. Reading the minimum price, the maximum odds cap and the deadline is what turns the marketing into a number.

The Super Heinz in plain terms

A Super Heinz is a slip of 120 bets across seven selections, with no singles anywhere in the structure. The smallest paying line is a double, and the largest is the seven-fold. The total stake is 120 times the unit stake; the payout is the sum across all winning lines. The bookmaker’s margin is on every leg of every line, and the margin compounds across a multiple. The slip’s worst case is losing all 120 lines; the slip’s best case is winning every line.

It is one rung in a ladder of full-cover bets. The ladder runs Trixie, Yankee, Lucky 15, Super Yankee, Heinz, Super Heinz, Goliath. Each rung adds selections and roughly doubles the line count. A punter choosing a rung is choosing how many selections they want and how many lines they can afford to stake.

A Super Heinz is not a strategy. It is a structure. The strategy sits in the selection of the seven picks, the choice of unit stake and the read of the operator’s terms. The structure pays across 120 lines and lets a slip with several winners return something even if the seven-fold misses. The structure costs the full stake if the slip wins nothing. Used at a stake the punter can afford to lose and on selections the punter has priced individually, a Super Heinz is a reasonable recreational bet. Used as a way to chase a big payout on longshots, it is a lottery-shaped product with a lottery-shaped payout distribution.

The honest read: a Super Heinz is a Heinz with one more selection and 63 more lines; it costs roughly twice as much per unit stake as a Heinz, and it pays roughly twice as much in the same proportional terms if the hits fall in the same shape. It is a mainstream UK bookmaker product, priced to each operator’s own margin, settled line by line, and well understood by every app in the table above. The page’s job is to make the cost of that product visible, and the cost is what it is.

Frequently asked questions about the Super Heinz

What is a super heinz bet?

A Super Heinz is a full-cover bet on seven selections, made up of 120 bets: 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and 1 seven-fold. There are no singles on the slip, and the smallest paying line is a double. A Super Heinz needs at least two winners to return anything.

How many bets in a super heinz?

1. This total comprises doubles, trebles and larger multiples across the seven selections. With unit stake £x, the total stake is 120 × £x.

How can it be checked that a bookmaker holds a Gambling Commission licence?

Search the Commission’s public register by business name, trading name, domain or Commission account number. Each record carries the licence holder’s name and the licence categories. The accounts cited in the table above are the register’s account numbers, and the full licence reference (with suffix) is what the register returns.

How is the return on a bet worked out from the stake and the odds?

Return = stake × odds, where odds for a multiple are the product of the leg odds. A treble on three legs at 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00 settles at 24.00, so a £1 line returns £24 and profit is £23. The same rule applies to every line on a Super Heinz.

What is the bookmaker’s margin and how can it be seen in the odds?

Margin is the cut the bookmaker takes on every market, baked into the prices it offers. A 1X2 football market at 2.10/3.40/3.40 has an implied probability of about 47.6% + 29.4% + 29.4% = 106.4%, a payout share of about 94% and a margin of about 6%. The larger the overround, the larger the margin.
