With a 1-unit stake on each line, a Lucky 15 with two winners at 12/1 and 11/1 returns the two winning singles plus the one winning double.

A Lucky 15 contains 15 bets: four singles, six doubles, four trebles and one fourfold. That component structure is described in operator calculator material here: https://betting.betfair.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15/

Win-only calculation

Fractional odds returns include stake on winning lines:

Winning line Return
12/1 single 13 units
11/1 single 12 units
12/1 × 11/1 double 13 × 12 = 156 units
Gross return 181 units
Total stake across 15 lines 15 units
Net profit 166 units

So if the unit stake were $1 per line, the total stake would be $15, gross return would be $181 and net profit would be $166. If the unit stake were $2, multiply every unit figure by 2.

Method: convert each winning fractional price to total-return multipliers, 12/1 → 13 and 11/1 → 12; pay the two singles and their double; all other lines lose.

Assumptions: exactly two winners, the other two selections lose, win-only settlement, no voids, dead heats, Rule 4 deductions, best-odds changes or Lucky 15 bonuses. Actual bookmaker concessions are not universal and should not be assumed from this example.
