Seven selections produce 120 bets, and the calculator prices all of them from a single unit stake: doubles through to the seven-fold accumulator. Enter decimal odds and the stake per bet to see your outlay and the return if the full seven land. At 50p a unit the outlay is £60, which is the number to look at first.
The Shape of a Super Heinz
Seven selections combine into 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and 1 seven-fold. One hundred and twenty bets, no singles.
The bet count is fixed by the selection count. Adding a seventh name to a Heinz takes the structure from 57 bets to 120, so the outlay slightly more than doubles at the same unit stake even though you only added one match.
A Worked Example
Seven selections at decimal odds of 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 2.0, 1.8, 2.2 and 2.5, with a 50p unit stake.
- Outlay: 120 bets × £0.50 = £60.00, the unit multiplied by the bet count.
- All seven win: return £1,967.18, profit £1,907.18.
- The seven-fold inside it: 2.0 × 2.5 × 3.0 × 2.0 × 1.8 × 2.2 × 2.5 = 297.0, so that single bet contributes £148.50 at a 50p stake.
- One loser: 57 of the 120 bets stay live, which is a Heinz on the six survivors.
- Two losers: 26 bets stay live out of 120.
Move the unit to £1 and the same seven selections cost £120.00. Move it to 25p and the outlay drops to £30.00 while every one of the 120 bets stays on the slip.
How to Read the Results
The unit stake is the only lever you have. Bet count, structure and the combined price are all set by the seven selections you chose, so a Super Heinz you cannot afford at £1 becomes affordable at 25p without changing anything else about the bet.
That cuts both ways on the return side. A 25p unit halves the £60 exposure and halves every payout figure with it, including the £148.50 seven-fold contribution above.
The winners column is where the bet reveals itself. Six from seven leaves 57 live bets, five leaves 26, and four leaves 11. Those survivors carry the shortest combinations on the card more often than not, because the long price is usually the one that let you down.
The Outlay Grows Faster Than the Card
Bettors size a Super Heinz by the stake they type rather than the 120 bets it funds, and £1 a unit on a whim is £120 committed. State the multiplication to yourself before confirming: unit stake × 120.
Margin sits on top of that. A decimal price of 1.50 implies 66.7% and 4.00 implies 25.0%, and the implied probabilities across a full market sum past 100% because the bookmaker’s cut is built into each one. Combining seven prices carries that cut into all 120 bets. The Hold / Vig Calculator measures the margin inside a single market, and the Parlay Calculator shows what stacking legs does to a combined price.
The calculator settles the arithmetic and stops there. It cannot tell you whether 2.0 on the seventh selection is a fair price, and adding a seventh name to reach a bigger headline return is the most reliable way to make a Super Heinz worse.

How many bets are in a Super Heinz?
One hundred and twenty, built from seven selections: 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and 1 seven-fold accumulator. There are no singles, so at least two selections must win before the bet returns anything. Each of the 120 bets carries the unit stake you set.
What does a Super Heinz cost at 50p a unit?
£60.00, from 120 bets × £0.50. At £1 a unit it is £120.00, at 25p it is £30.00 and at 10p it is £12.00. Bookmakers display the total outlay on the slip rather than the unit stake, so the figure at confirmation is always 120 times the number you entered.
What is the difference between a Super Heinz and a Heinz?
One selection, which changes everything downstream. A Heinz builds 57 bets from six selections and a Super Heinz builds 120 from seven. At the same unit stake the Super Heinz costs more than twice as much, and if one of the seven loses, what remains on the slip is exactly a Heinz on the six survivors.
Is a Super Heinz worth placing on seven football selections?
It depends on the prices and the outlay you can carry. Seven selections at short odds spread across 120 bets means bookmaker margin compounds in every combination, and the bet needs six or seven winners to clear its own cost at typical football prices. Smaller unit stakes control the exposure without changing the structure.
