What a Super Heinz actually is
A Super Heinz is the 7-selection full-cover bet that sits between the Heinz (6 selections, 57 bets) and the Goliath (8 selections, 247 bets). You pick seven selections and the bookmaker writes 120 bets: 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 fourfolds, 21 fivefolds, 7 sixfolds, and 1 sevenfold accumulator. No singles.
At £1 a unit, that's £120 outlay — a substantial price that only makes sense when you have real conviction across all 7 picks. A minimum of two winners is needed for the slip to return anything. The Super Heinz is mostly used by punters playing 7-horse Saturday racing multis or 7-game football accas where they want exposure to every combination without the single-bet expense of 7 Lucky 15s.
Worked example — seven winners at 2/1
Seven selections at 2/1 (3.00 decimal), £0.20 unit stake — total outlay £24. Settling each fold:
- 21 doubles × (£0.20 × 9) = £37.80
- 35 trebles × (£0.20 × 27) = £189.00
- 35 fourfolds × (£0.20 × 81) = £567.00
- 21 fivefolds × (£0.20 × 243) = £1,020.60
- 7 sixfolds × (£0.20 × 729) = £1,020.60
- 1 sevenfold × (£0.20 × 2,187) = £437.40
Total return = £3,272.40 on £24 outlay — a profit of £3,248, or about 136× your stake. The middle folds (fivefolds and sixfolds) dominate the return: 21 fivefolds and 7 sixfolds together contribute over £2,000 of the total, more than the sevenfold accumulator itself. This is structurally why a Super Heinz can outperform a pure 7-fold accumulator when most-but-not-all of your selections win.
And with only 2 of 7 winning at 2/1? You collect on one double — £1.80 return on £24, a £22.20 loss. Without the singles cushion, low-strike-rate days hurt badly at this unit price.
Super Heinz vs Heinz vs Goliath
Where the Super Heinz fits in the upper half of the full-cover family:
| Bet type | Selections | Bets | Singles? | Highest fold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heinz | 6 | 57 | No | 6-fold |
| Super Heinz | 7 | 120 | No | 7-fold |
| Goliath | 8 | 247 | No | 8-fold |
The pattern is clear: each extra selection roughly doubles the bet count (and therefore the unit-stake cost). Adding a 7th selection to a Heinz takes you from 57 to 120 bets; an 8th takes 120 to 247. Only commit if your additional pick is one you genuinely fancy.
The brutal arithmetic of a 7-fold
The sevenfold accumulator on seven legs each carrying a 4% bookmaker margin gives the book a compounded edge of about 28%. Across the whole 120-bet slip, the effective margin often exceeds 20%. Super Heinz is one of the most expensive bets to grind back from a long-run EV perspective. The hidden price baked into every fold of the slip is the cornerstone reference that lays out the maths from first principles.
