Super Heinz Calculator

This Super Heinz calculator works out your returns on a Super Heinz: one hundred and twenty bets built from seven moneyline picks across the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, covering every combination from a double up to the seven-fold.

What Is a Super Heinz?

A Super Heinz is a full cover bet on seven picks with no singles: twenty-one doubles, thirty-five trebles, thirty-five four-folds, twenty-one five-folds, seven six-folds and one seven-fold, adding up to one hundred and twenty bets in total. It is the second largest of the standard full cover bets, behind only the Goliath, which steps up to eight picks.

Because a Super Heinz carries no singles, a single winning pick on its own returns nothing. You need at least two of your seven picks to land before any bet pays out, the same rule that governs a Heinz, just scaled up to a seventh selection. Picking seven moneyline winners in one slip, such as the Steelers to beat the Browns or the Kraken to beat the Ducks, is already demanding; a Super Heinz softens that all-or-nothing structure by paying out on any qualifying combination rather than requiring all seven to come in.

That structure also makes a Super Heinz expensive: one hundred and twenty separate bets means one hundred and twenty times your unit stake goes into the slip. The tradeoff is coverage. A straight seven-fold parlay pays only if every pick wins; a Super Heinz still returns money if just two or three of your seven picks land.

How a Super Heinz Is Calculated

The bet count comes from combining seven picks at every fold size from two through seven, with no allowance for singles: 21 doubles + 35 trebles + 35 four-folds + 21 five-folds + 7 six-folds + 1 seven-fold = 120 bets in total. Your total outlay is simply 120 x your unit stake, so the stake you enter is multiplied across every one of those 120 lines.

Each line is priced by multiplying the decimal odds of the picks it contains. American odds convert to decimal first: a minus number like -250 means the decimal price is 1.40, so -200 converts to 1.50, -167 to 1.60, and -125 to 1.80. A plus number works the other way, so +100 converts to 2.00, +120 to 2.20 and +150 to 2.50. To price a double through a seven-fold, the calculator multiplies the decimal odds of every pick in that combination, then multiplies the result by the unit stake.

Once every line has been priced this way, the calculator sums them to produce your total return, and total return minus total outlay gives your profit. Because the formula treats each of the 120 combinations independently, a loss on one pick only removes the lines that include that pick; every combination built from your remaining picks is unaffected and still pays if it wins.

What the Calculator Shows You

Once you enter your seven prices, your unit stake and the result of each pick, the calculator shows the full breakdown: how many bets fall into each fold size, from doubles through the seven-fold, and how those add up to 120 bets. It shows your total outlay, your unit stake multiplied across all 120 lines, so you see the real cost of the slip before results are known.

Once you mark each pick as a win, loss or push, the calculator recalculates which lines still qualify and totals their return. It then shows your total return in dollars and your profit, that return minus your total outlay. If enough picks lose, it shows you what remains, whether a reduced set of winning combinations or nothing at all.

Worked Example

Take a Super Heinz on seven moneyline picks at a $0.10 unit stake: Steelers to beat Browns at -250 (1.40), Texans to beat Titans at -200 (1.50), Clippers to beat Kings at -167 (1.60), Twins to beat White Sox at -125 (1.80), Kraken to beat Ducks at +100 (2.00), Saints to beat Falcons at +120 (2.20), and Pelicans to beat Grizzlies at +150 (2.50).

That gives 120 bets: 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and 1 seven-fold. At $0.10 a line, the total outlay is $12.00.

If all seven picks win, every one of the 120 lines pays out. The calculator totals every one of the 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and the single seven-fold, and the total return comes to $145.36. Subtracting the $12.00 outlay leaves a profit of $133.36 on this seven-pick slip.

That $145.36 return comes entirely from the seven decimal prices above, multiplied together in every one of the 120 combinations and each multiplied by the $0.10 unit stake before being summed. The seven-fold alone, all seven picks multiplied together, contributes a single large line to that total, while the 21 doubles and 35 trebles each contribute much smaller amounts individually but add up across so many lines. This is the mechanic that makes a Super Heinz different from simply parlaying all seven picks together: instead of one $0.10 bet living or dying on all seven results, the same seven prices are spread across 120 separate bets, so partial success among the seven picks still produces a return rather than a total loss.

What the 120 Bets in a Super Heinz Actually Are

The 120 bets in a Super Heinz split across six fold sizes, and the count grows quickly as the fold size moves toward the middle of the seven picks before tapering back down to the single seven-fold. This is the full breakdown the calculator works from when it prices every line:

Total Outlay for a Super Heinz at Different Unit Stakes

Because every Super Heinz always contains 120 bets regardless of which seven picks you choose, your total outlay scales directly with your unit stake, and nothing else changes that count. The table below shows how the same 120-bet structure costs different amounts in total depending on the unit stake you set per line, from a cautious nickel a line up to fifty cents a line:

What Happens When One Pick Loses

A Super Heinz is really a Heinz with one more pick added, and that single addition more than doubles the number of lines, from fifty-seven up to one hundred and twenty. That relationship also runs in reverse: lose exactly one of your seven picks, and what remains among the other six is precisely a Heinz.

In the worked example above, if the Pelicans lose while the other six picks (Steelers, Texans, Clippers, Twins, Kraken and Saints) all win, every line built from those six picks still pays: fifty-seven lines, a full Heinz. The calculator totals a return of $40.78, for a profit of $28.78, well below the $145.36 return when all seven picks land, but still a positive result from a single loss among seven.

Outlay scales the same way regardless of results. Even at a $0.10 unit stake the total outlay for a Super Heinz is $12.00, and at a $1.00 unit stake it would be $120.00, since the bet count never changes, only the stake multiplied across it. That $12.00 or $120.00 is locked in on 120 lines the moment you place the bet, and what those lines return afterward depends entirely on how many of your seven picks come in.

When a Super Heinz Makes Sense

A Super Heinz suits a bettor who has genuine opinions on seven picks but doesn’t want the bet living or dying on all seven landing together, the way a straight seven-fold parlay would. Spreading the same seven prices across 120 combinations means you can walk away with a profit if a handful of picks miss, as the worked example shows when the Pelicans lose and the remaining Heinz still returns $40.78.

That coverage comes at a cost, though: 120 bets at even a modest unit stake adds up to real money, and the total outlay is locked in whether your picks come in or not. A bettor who is only confident in three or four of seven selections is generally better served by a smaller full cover bet built from just those picks, rather than padding a Super Heinz with weaker selections just to reach seven.

Bankroll discipline matters more here than on a single moneyline bet, since the unit stake is multiplied by 120 before you know a single result. Treat the total outlay, not the unit stake, as the number that matters when deciding what you can afford to risk. A Super Heinz also rewards picks with genuine independence from each other; correlated results, like several games from the same day going the same way, don’t spread risk the way the structure implies.

Common Mistakes

Setting your unit stake as though it were the total cost of the slip is a common error, since it is actually multiplied by one hundred and twenty across every line. Backing seven picks when your genuine confidence only covers three or four dilutes the bet with weak selections. Expecting a Super Heinz to include cover from singles is another mistake, since it does not, so a lone winning pick returns nothing. It’s also easy to overlook that a Super Heinz needs only two winners to return something, however small.

Super Heinz vs the Largest Full Cover Bets

A Super Heinz sits between the Heinz and the Goliath among the largest full cover bets, one selection up from the Heinz and one short of the Goliath. The Lucky 63 sits at the same 6-selection count as the Heinz, but it adds singles that neither the Heinz nor the Super Heinz carry, which is why its line count differs from the Heinz despite the matching number of picks.
