Heinz

A Heinz is a full-cover multiple bet on six selections consisting of 57 separate bets: every possible double, treble, fourfold, fivefold and the single sixfold accumulator, but no single bets. The name comes from the "57 varieties" slogan once used by the Heinz food company, matching the 57 bets the wager contains. The 57 breaks down as 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, 6 fivefolds and 1 sixfold. Because there are no singles, at least two of your six selections must win before any return is generated. The more selections that win, the more of the constituent multiples land, so returns build progressively rather than all-or-nothing. Worked example: you place a Heinz on six horses at a £0.50 unit stake. With 57 bets, the total outlay is £28.50 (57 x £0.50). Say four of your six selections win at odds of 2.0, 3.0, 2.5 and 4.0 (decimal). Every double, treble and the one fourfold formed solely from those four winners returns. The four winners produce 6 winning doubles, 4 winning trebles and 1 winning fourfold (11 winning lines); the fivefolds and sixfold are lost because they require selections that lost. Each winning line is calculated by multiplying the relevant odds by the £0.50 unit, then summing all 11 returns. For an affiliate audience, note that a Heinz suits bettors who want accumulator-style upside with more resilience than a single sixfold, at the cost of a larger total stake. Always confirm whether the quoted stake is per line or total. Compare with the Lucky 15, Yankee, Canadian, Super Heinz and Goliath.
