L15? What sort of bet is this?

Tks Hibs.

I remember when I first started betting on US and SA racing I had to look up all the new betting terms on the net after a while, I was getting utterly confused reading various forums at times. All those swingers, trifectas, exacta and even the PA (when its so obvious) through me for a bit.

Some are easy to guess but I'd end up looking up just to compare and see if my initial guess was right.

Just out of interest is the L15 a common type of bet in SA racing or the other various levels that exist of the L15 format? (trixie, canadian, goliath etc).

Daas welcome...

I would say NO, L15 is not a common bet type in SA and 90% of punters would not know what you talking about regarding trixies, canadians etc...

I had my biggest win ever on a Lucky 15. i had £5 ew and had winners at 10/1, 9/1, 11/1 and 7/1 with bet 365...to top it off they gave a 15% bonus for 4 winners. I dont think i wilnd in do it again(i have tried). Then i had to send in photocopies of my passport and driving licence.they took 3 weeks to pay me and then closed my account. i will be doing one today at cheltenham...good luck today chaps

Thanks Greg,

Something like hearing about swinger bets, I'd never come across before and didn't have a clue what type of bet it was before I looked it up but the name makes sense after I had.

Always interests me the various bet types over the different countries or the various names they go by.

we have a bet call Goliath,its 8 selections.28 doubles,56 trebles,70 4 folds,28 six folds,8 sevenfolds and 1 accumalator..dont know anyone to have had it up

Tried it a few times Dave and failed massively each and every time.

Just for fun lets post a Goliath for today (Not that I will take it)....

These bets are bread and butter for bookmakers.
The L15 for starters is a mug bet.....no stretches in combo bets so why not take your 4 individual bets,as stand alone bets(at least a double stretch with Interbet most of the time).
What you are left with is a yankee which is 11 bets,but if ,for example your first selection loses,you are only 25% wrong,so far, but 63% of your bets(7) are in the bin..............................if you get 2 right (ie. 50% right) you win 1 double(ie.9% of your bets succeed)

There have been a few Yankee bet compo's on the site........check the results!

By the time most guys get a nice win ,it is in reality,more often than not, a partial refund.......lol

I agree its a mug bet, But i cant resist when UK bookies offer Triple the odds on one winner. If you back a 5/1 winner and the other 3 lose,you get your money back. We all dream of the big one dont we?

My one for the Goliath is Divers 2-35 Cheltenham...16/1ew

I'd also agree its a mugs bet but much like dave when there' s a offer on or there's a good jumps meeting I can't resist a L15 just to keep the day interesting. I've actually got one on today for Cheltenham, though I 'm going to be backing most of the horses in it with decent single bets also come race time.

As for the Goliath, I'll put forward Cantlow 3:10 Cheltenham @ 7/1
