What Is a Goliath Bet?
A Goliath takes 8 selections and turns them into 247 separate bets: 28 doubles (every pairing), 56 trebles (every group of 3), 70 fourfolds (every group of 4), 56 fivefolds (every group of 5), 28 sixfolds (every group of 6), 8 sevenfolds (every group of 7), and 1 eightfold (all 8 together). It's the biggest standard multiple bet offered by most UK bookmakers.
| Bet Type | Selections | Bet Lines |
|---|---|---|
| Super Heinz | 7 | 120 |
| Goliath | 8 | 247 |
A Goliath is the 8-selection equivalent of a Super Heinz — no singles, 2 winners minimum. See our full bet calculator for every bet type.
How Does the Goliath Bet Calculator Work?
The calculator builds all 247 bet lines from your 8 selections and totals the stake and return across them:
- 28 Doubles — every pair of your 8 selections
- 56 Trebles — every group of 3 selections
- 70 Fourfolds — every group of 4 selections
- 56 Fivefolds — every group of 5 selections
- 28 Sixfolds — every group of 6 selections
- 8 Sevenfolds — every group of 7 selections
- 1 Eightfold — all 8 selections combined
- Total Stake = Unit Stake × 247
Enter your 8 sets of odds — fractional or decimal — and your unit stake, and the calculator works out every combination for you.

FAQs
Is a Goliath bet calculator free to use?
Yes. Every calculator on this site, including the Goliath bet calculator, is completely free — no account or sign-up needed.
How many winners do I need for a Goliath to pay out?
At least 2 of your 8 selections. With such a high total stake, though, you typically need several more winners than that before the bet turns an overall profit.
What's the difference between a Goliath and a Super Heinz?
A Super Heinz uses 7 selections across 120 bet lines. A Goliath is the same idea with 1 more selection — 8 selections across 247 bet lines. Both need 2 winners minimum. Use our Super Heinz calculator if you're one selection short.
Does a Goliath include singles?
No. A standard Goliath has no singles, so a single winning selection returns nothing on its own. Some bookmakers offer a "Goliath with Singles" as a separate, less common option.
