Racing Tips for Wednesday, August 13: Four horses to support at Beverley, Ffos Las, Kempton, and Salisbury in the Spotlight Lucky 15 event

In the world of horse racing, the upcoming races on August 13 promise an exciting day for punters. The action is set to unfold at Salisbury and Kempton, with free tips available for those seeking guidance [1].

One of the standout races is the 4.15 Beverley, where Bell Shot, a seven-time winner, is set to compete. Currently priced at 2-1 (forecast odds), this seasoned runner could be a strong contender [2].

For those seeking a more adventurous bet, the Lucky 15 could be the way to go. This popular multiple bet among horseracing punters consists of 15 bets on four selections in different events [3]. The Lucky 15 includes four singles, six doubles, four trebles, and a fourfold accumulator, offering a better chance of returns through singles and various combinations compared to accumulator-only bets [1][5].

If you're new to the Lucky 15, fear not. Here's a breakdown:

Four singles (each selection individually)
Six doubles (every possible combination of two selections)
Four trebles (every possible combination of three selections)
One four-fold accumulator (all four selections combined)

Calculating returns involves summing the outcomes of all winning bets. Each winning bet pays out according to the odds of the selections involved, multiplied by the stake placed on that bet [4].

For instance, if you stake £1 per bet (total stake £15), and one selection wins, the return is the payoff from that single selection's single bet. If multiple selections win, returns include payouts from singles, doubles, trebles, and the accumulator combination, calculated by multiplying the odds of each selection in that combination and the stake per bet [4].

The total return is the sum of all winning bets’ payouts minus the total stake. This system bet is advantageous as it offers a better chance of returns through singles and various combinations compared to accumulator-only bets [1][5].

Moreover, bookmakers often offer incentives for playing the Lucky 15 bet. Racing Post's expert tipster, Graeme Rodway, has ranked the best Lucky 15 betting sites on RP Recommends [6].

Among the horses racing on August 13, Offiah's Boy, who has had a successful summer, is racing at 5.00 Salisbury and is currently priced at 9-4 [7]. Offiah's Boy won two 11.6f handicaps at Bath this summer, but is racing with an additional 3lb today.

Maybe Not, a progressive 3yo, is racing at 7.45 Kempton and is currently priced at 100-30 [8]. Maybe Not's second place at Newbury last time was no backwards step, as the winner had stolen a march on her.

Typeface, who posted an improved effort in his last race, is racing at 7.55 Ffos Las and is currently priced at 7-2. Typeface won a classified event over C&D 15 days ago, picking up well from the back of the field at 33-1 (tongue tied for the first time) [9].

For those seeking additional tips, The Punt Acca, Andrew Cooper's three horse racing tips, are available at Beverley and Kempton on Wednesday [10].

Remember, when placing your Lucky 15 bet, Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) is available [11]. To calculate potential returns for a Lucky 15 bet, use the Racing Post's Bet Calculator [12].

Happy betting, and may the odds be ever in your favour!
