Choose 4 long shot outcomes at around 16/1 and place a £1.50 stake that could return more than £10,000! You
still win if you only get 1 out of 4 too.
The Long Shot (Lucky 15)
Choose four outcomes at around 16/1 and for a small stake you could end up winning thousands. This type of bet is
commonly called a Lucky 15 because the permutation contains 15 bets. For example:
1.
Choose 4 outcomes at around 16/1. Choosing a team to be winning at half-time and then drawing at
full-time will almost always give you these odds if you shop around the bookies. Higher scoring correct
scores will also give these types of odds.
2.
Place a small unit stake, around 10p per bet, and this will be multiplied by 15 to calculate your
full stake.
3.
If only one of the four comes in, you've won your money back.
If more than one of the four comes in you could be making big money for a small stake.
You might find that these types of bet don't win that often, so we call this strategy the 'Long Shot'.
However, remember that the one time you do get two, three, or four results come in, you've made a fair
bit of profit. You've just got to hold out until you get that one week where you hit the jackpot.
Use this strategy in conjunction with another strategy that will cover any losses
on this type of bet. For
example, place £1.50 on an Evens single bet to cover the potential loss on the Long Shot. Alternatively, treat
this bet as it is named, a long shot, and write off the stake as you would do with your quid on the lottery each
week!
