    Finally got another in tonight , I’ve had a number of 3 out 4s this flat season but tonight was the night , even inc as twisting Goldie nag , £1.50 into £188 is a good night and gives me my ammo for Hamilton on Sunday

    Think I have been doing L15s for over thirty years and I don’t recall having all four, maybe once. Mind you I tend to do larger prices horses and have had three a few times and pulled £998 just over a year ago.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    My best was a 3 out 3 ( non runner ) Hennessy winner , Skelton horse and the cherry on the cake was this…. bar Lord Windermere winning the GC it was my best ever bet , near £500 quid from £1.50

    Well done!
    I stopped doing multiple bets some years ago but had a few good results.

    Nice bet, HDLG.

    I haven’t done a Lucky 15 for a while. Overall they are in the bookmaker’s favour (1 defeat, 8 bets down).

    Do they still go treble odds for one winner? I recall one small independent bookmakers in Liverpool and Bootle going five times the odds, although that offer unsurprisingly didn’t last for long.

    I had 4 winners up about 3 or 4 times. The first one was on Brigadier Gerard evening at Sandown, probably about 20 years ago now.

    I have had all 4 placed in an each way Lucky 15 several times. Those each way doubles, trebles and accumulator can add up!

    I do them with Betfred and they are treble odds on a single winner I think many moons ago Mecca gave double the odds.

    I think most firms go double the odds. Treble is quite a good concession. But on balance, bookmakers love multiples. They know they are stacked in their favour.

    Even if someone wins something like a six figure sum, the marketing department will be delighted. It is great publicity and they have probably made more money from the mugs playing the slots that same day.
