What Is a Super Heinz Bet

Thu Sep 01, 2022 2:30 pm

A Super Heinz bet, also known as a full cover bet, is a variety of a Heinz bet. Compared with its 57-wager predecessor, this hefty "Super" version comprises 120 bets across seven different selections. Super Heinz bet is slightly less popular than regular Heinz bet.

Super Heinz bet explained

Both a 57-wager Heinz bet and its 120-wager "Super" version took their name after the renowned food manufacturer, H. J. Heinz Company, which ran an ad campaign called "57 pickle Varieties" back in 1896.

A Super Heinz bet is a type of multiple bet with 120 wagers:
- 21 doubles,
- 35 trebles,
- 35 four-fold accumulators,
- 21 five-fold accumulators,
- seven six-fold accumulators,
- one seven-fold accumulator;

Bettors will often come across Super Heinz in horse racing betting, but it can also be used with other sports, as long as there are seven selections to back. In horse and greyhound racing, seven selections mean choosing seven different horses, whereas, in football, it means selecting across seven matches. So, similarly to accumulator bets, sports most suitable with Super Heinz are football, horse racing, and greyhound racing.

Betting a Super Heinz stands for placing 120 bets; for instance, a £1 Super Heinz will total £120, whereas a £2 unit stake will take the total investment to £240. Since this form of a multiple bet doesn't involve single bets, punters have to hit a minimum of two selections to see a return on their stake. Moreover, while theoretically winning is possible with just two winning selections, bettors typically need to land four or more selections to profit from Super Heinz. You can calculate your profit and returns using one of many online calculators.

In an each-way Super Heinz bet (i.e., a wager consisting of a win bet and a place bet), the number of bets doubles from 120 to 240. Thus, the stake also gets multiplied by 240: a unit stake of £1 will stand at £240, whereas £0.5 will total £120, etc. In horse racing, for instance, a bettor gets a return for every horse that secures a win and for each horse that places—no wonder this option creates a better chance for returns. Even if none of the selections wins but finishes in their "place" positions, you'd still be paid handsomely.

Super Heinz's payouts vary depending on bets. A fourfold, fivefold, or sixfold acca will generate significantly higher payouts than combinations of doubles. With all the selections winning, your payout will be massive. It's because the chances of all the selections landing are lower than only a couple of them coming through. Moreover, the bigger the stake, the bigger the payout.

Super Heinz bet—pros and cons

While traditional accumulators require all the selections to land for you to make a profit, this is not the case with Super Heinz, where you need only two selections of seven to win. Therefore, even if the odds aren't very high, you will likely see a return from this bet. Even if there are selections that let you down, a profit is still achievable.

Among two well-known drawbacks of placing a Super Heinz bet are
the lack of flexibility around staking (each bet has the same unit stake) and
the high number of bets (making a bet more costly than placing an accumulator on all seven selections).


Super Heinz betting strategy

There are two ways to use a Super Heinz—proposes Bethq. The first one is based on combining safe bets into a better payout than one would get off placing singles on the relevant selections. For example, let's take a tennis Grand Slam. We place seven bets on seven top seeds in the first round of matches at the tournament. While the favourites are rarely upset in these matches, the odds on offer can be very modest. For instance, with seven £1 singles on seven winning players each priced 1/5 to win their respective matches, you take home a profit of £1.40. Yet, with a £1 Super Heinz bet on seven players at the same odds, if all of them win their bets, it generates a profit of £120. This bet makes an over 100% return against your Super Heinz stake compared to the modest 20% generated from placing singles. For more significant payouts, back your selections at higher odds.

Otherwise, apply Super Heinz to leverage slightly higher odds to generate enormous payouts. This strategy relies on finding the best balance between value and price on seven separate selections. First, you will have to acquire in-depth knowledge of the sport of your choice and the competitors you are backing. Then, focus on selections that bookies have priced too high. For example, in horse racing, let's say you back seven horses in seven different races. Each of the horses would come at a price of 3/1 with a base stake of £1 for a total stake of £120. If one horse wins, you've got a £120 loss; with two winners, there is a £104 loss, and with three winners, only an £8 loss. Yet, four winners make £488 profit, five winners £2,984, six winners £15,480 profit, and seven winners, a whooping £77,976 profit. A unit stake was £1. You can also lower it to 10p to generate sizeable returns with minimal risk.

When should you place a Super Heinz bet? It's advised to go for it if you have seven different rock-solid selections and want to generate the best possible profit out of them.
