Find below some useful betting charts and tables showing the number of selections for various permutations. Also shown are the numbers of bets for some of the well know bet types offered and promoted by bookmakers like Lucky 15, 31, 63, yankee, canadian, heinz, goliath.

TIP:Have you noticed that bookmakers advertise and promote multi selection bets and permutations everywhere and when you see a big win announced in the newspaper its always about a lucky gambler who placed a small bet on a multi-selection permutation like a Super-Heinz and who won £500,000 on a £60 bet???

There is a good reason for this. Multi selection bets and permutations usually offer the gambler very poor value and making profit from such bets is very difficult. Just 1 selection failing to win can effectively wipe out any profits on certain permutations. The bookmakers don't mind the occasional big winner as they make a fortune from the millions of other gamblers who are wasting their money on such permutations.

Our advice: Don't bother placing these type of bets and stick to Singles, Each/Way, forecasts with maybe the odd double or treble. If you do wish to place bets using some of the large permutation bet types like Heinz etc, always stick to very small stakes and its probably best to consider them as fun bets. Systems like Racing Synergy below use sound logic to select value horses to bet as singles either to win or EW. Take a look today.
