- 4 of 7 win: approximately £350 return on £120 outlay
- 5 of 7 win: approximately £1,500 return
- All 7 win: approximately £8,700 return

When These Bets Make Sense
Super Heinz and Goliath bets are appropriate when:
- You have a full day of horse racing with 7-8 strong fancies across the card
- Your selections average odds of 2.50+ to make the multiples meaningful
- You have a proven track record of identifying winners at a reasonable strike rate
- The total outlay represents a small, manageable portion of your betting bankroll
The Bigger Picture
System bets scale: Lucky 15 (4 sel, 15 bets) → Lucky 31 (5 sel, 31 bets) → Lucky 63 (6 sel, 63 bets) → Super Heinz (7 sel, 120 bets) → Goliath (8 sel, 247 bets). Each step doubles coverage but also roughly doubles cost. Choose the level that matches both your selection confidence and your bankroll.
