Heinz Cost and When to Use It

At €0.10 per line, a Heinz costs €5.70. At €1 per line, it costs €57. The bet is popular for horse racing accumulators across a full day's card. You need at least 2 winners to see a return, but with 6 selections all winning at reasonable prices, the return can be very large.

A Lucky 63 is a Heinz with 6 singles added (63 lines total). If you want some return even from just one winner, Lucky 63 is safer; Heinz is cheaper if you are confident in getting at least 2 winners.
