What Is in a Lucky 15

At ₦100 per bet the Lucky 15 costs ₦1,500. With the default odds and four winners it returns about ₦8,458. If the fourth selection loses, it still returns about ₦2,851, a profit of ₦1,351. With two losers the return is about ₦768, and with only one winner you get that single back.
Why Punters Like the Lucky 15
It is the safest way to chase an acca: the four-fold gives the big payout, while the singles and doubles soften a bad day. The price of that safety is a higher total stake than a Yankee, which drops the singles.
Placing a Lucky 15 at a Nigerian Bookmaker
Look for system bets in the betslip. If the name Lucky 15 is not listed, choose all the system options for four selections (1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4) and check that the betslip shows 15 bets. Some bookmakers that do list the Lucky 15 pay a bonus when only one selection wins; read the terms.
Keep the odds above about 1.50 per selection. With very short prices the singles and doubles return less than they cost.
