Of all the forms of sports betting, taking a punt on the horses remains as popular as ever. One of the reasons for this is the number of cheap wagers that can have potentially huge rewards. For as little as a £1 flutter, you can take home over six figures. Today we thought we'd take a look at some of the most profitable bets available in horse racing. These include accumulator bets, including well-known multiple bets, and shared betting pools. But you will be needing Lady Luck at your side!

Only a certain type of sports gambler is going to make the Lucky 63 bet. After all, you'll need to place 63 individual wagers on a total of 6 match selections. And all at a minimum of £1 each. That adds up to quite a high stake amount. In order to win, you'll need to be successful with just one, but there will be no profits. You'll need at least 3 of your selections to bring home the bacon. Of course, if you're super lucky and score all 6 matches correctly, then expect to be partying that night.

Of all the wagers you can place over a game of football, then the Goliath bet is probably the craziest one. The clue is in the bet's name. You will be required to make a monster 8 combination bet with 247 bets (28 doubles, 56 trebles, 70 four-folds, 56 five-folds, 28 six-folds, 8 seven-folds and 1 eight-fold accumulator). On the whole, you're going to be placing £1 on each bet. This means that the total wager will be £247, which is quite a large stake for your average Saturday afternoon match.

So you're wondering, what are full cover bets? Well, we have the answer. Simply put, it's a combination of bets that can be doubles, triples, or accumulators. If it's a double bet on two separate outcomes or more, then both must win in order to secure a payout. So if there are two winners in a Trixie bet, then you still win the overall bet. Unfortunately, the payouts are much smaller than if you were betting using parlay bets.
