Lucky 31 Calculator: Returns on 31 Bets in Naira
A Lucky 31 takes five selections and covers every combination: five singles, ten doubles, ten trebles, five four-folds and one five-fold. Enter your stake per bet, the odds and the results to see the return.
What Is in a Lucky 31
| Bet type | Number |
|---|---|
| Singles | 5 |
| Doubles | 10 |
| Trebles | 10 |
| Four-folds | 5 |
| Five-fold | 1 |
| Total | 31 |
At ₦100 per bet a Lucky 31 costs ₦3,100. With the default odds and five winners the return is about ₦30,711. If the fifth selection loses it still returns about ₦8,458, a profit of ₦5,358. With two losers the return is about ₦2,851, just under the stake.
Lucky 31 vs Canadian
The Canadian, also called a Super Yankee, is the same bet without the five singles: 26 bets instead of 31. Choose the Lucky 31 when your picks are at longer odds and one winner on its own is worth having.
Placing a Lucky 31
In the betslip, add your five selections and pick every system option for five (1/5 up to 5/5). The betslip should show 31 bets and a total stake of 31 times your unit stake.
Five selections at short odds rarely make a Lucky 31 worth it. The bet works best when each pick is at 2.00 or more.
