How the Lucky 31 bet calculator works
Stake is spread across five singles, ten doubles, ten trebles, five fourfolds, and a fivefold accumulator. Each tier shows gross return, net profit, and how much it contributes to the total so you can see where cover comes from. Bonus inputs support common promo structures; each-way terms mirror racing place offers; settlement controls keep projections live as results come in.
- Settlement tracker that updates returns as legs are marked settled.
- Bonus inputs for one-winner, five-winner, or full-house promos.
- Each-way place terms with fraction and places control.
- Commission and free bet handling for realistic net profit.
- Stake summary that keeps total outlay and ROI clear.
When to use the Lucky 31 bet calculator
Ideal for big meetings like Cheltenham or Aintree when you have five strong views but still want meaningful protection from singles. Use it when you want clear visibility before you stake and you do not want to guess how many winners you need to break even.
Make smarter staking decisions
Use the projection to decide whether a Canadian is enough, or whether stepping up to a Lucky 63 makes sense for your bankroll. If an early short-priced selection wins, update the result and check whether a small hedge improves your risk profile. For day-to-day matched betting stakes, use the standard matched betting calculator as your baseline.

When should I choose a Canadian instead?
