How to Play Lucky 5

Lucky 5 makes a combination of the principles of Lottery with additional betting options and an improved chance of winning. A new game is available every 5 minutes, so this gives players an incredible opportunity to have fun at short intervals. We're going to be running through how the game works in our BetGames Lucky 5 Guide.

Lucky 5 Betting Odds

There are a number of betting options available for lucky 5 punters. As with the Lottery, one of the popular markets is that of placing bets on the ball number itself.

You can bet a particular single number to be drawn at odds of 6.70, or for less risk-averse customers, there is an option to bet on two or three numbers to be drawn at odds of 40.0 and 400.0 respectively.

Of course, with these high odds, low stakes would be recommended as the chances of winning are low.

Lucky 5 Tips

The balls have 4 colours – white, green, red and blue. The player can place bets on the various ball colour outcomes, including bets on the number of balls of a certain colour type to, or not to be dropped. Other options include the counts (number) of bets to be over or under 1.5 and 2.5 each.

We suggest trying a bet on Under 1.5 count and exactly 1 ball not being dropped for each colour, with odds of 1.45 and 1.60 respectively. There are also other bets on a combination of different ball colour combinations.

Lucky 5 Strategies

In order to make headway towards long term success, there needs to be proper bankroll management. The odds for most available markets are high, and it is best to stake low on these, and at most 0.5 % bankroll is the best. It is also important to use consistent stakes, and not to lump when on a winning streak in order to recover losses.

There are also several Betgames guides and strategies available online. Our favourite strategies are those from Best Sports Betting and Bet Games Online, they're worth checking out, even if you don't follow the tips.
