How Stryktipset works
Stryktipset is Svenska Spel's weekly pool, usually built from 13 Saturday matches, many of them English. You mark 1, X or 2 for each match, and a single row costs 1 krona. Because it's a pool, all the stakes go into one pot that is shared between the winners: how much you win depends on how many others got the same number right.
Covering more than one result on a match is called a garding: a halvgardering covers two results and doubles the rows, a helgardering covers all three and triples them. Four halvgarderingar and two helgarderingar, for example, make 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 144 rows, or 144 kronor.
Your real chances
Jackpot games are chosen to be close, so even good picks miss often. The table works out your chances exactly for different levels of skill. Read across the 50% row: that's someone whose every pick is a coin flip between the two likeliest results, which is already better than most players.
| Your picks are right… | All 13 right | 10+ right (any prize) |
|---|---|---|
| A blind guess (33%) | 1 in 1,594,323 | 0.16% (1 in 607) |
| 40% per pick | 1 in 149,012 | 0.78% (1 in 128) |
| 50% per pick | 1 in 8,192 | 4.61% (1 in 22) |
| 55% per pick | 1 in 2,373 | 9.29% (1 in 11) |
| 60% per pick (very strong) | 1 in 766 | 16.9% (1 in 5.9) |
The chance of each prize tier
The chance of finishing on exactly each number of correct picks. Most of the realistic money is in the lower tiers, which is why the bonuses matter more than the headline prize.
| Correct | At 50% per pick | At 60% per pick |
|---|---|---|
| 13 of 13 (jackpot) | 0.012% | 0.13% |
| 12 of 13 | 0.16% | 1.13% |
| 11 of 13 | 0.95% | 4.53% |
| 10 of 13 | 3.49% | 11.1% |
What doubles and triples cost
Every double doubles the number of lines and every triple triples it. Here is what each ticket costs at SEK 1 a line, and how much it improves your chance.
| Ticket | Lines | Cost | Chance of all 13 right |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singles only | 1 | SEK 1 | 1 in 8,192 |
| 1 double | 2 | SEK 2 | 1 in 5,120 |
| 2 doubles | 4 | SEK 4 | 1 in 3,200 |
| 3 doubles | 8 | SEK 8 | 1 in 2,000 |
| 5 doubles | 32 | SEK 32 | 1 in 781 |
| 7 doubles | 128 | SEK 128 | 1 in 305 |
| 10 doubles | 1,024 | SEK 1,024 | 1 in 75 |
| 1 triple | 3 | SEK 3 | 1 in 4,096 |
| 3 triples | 27 | SEK 27 | 1 in 1,024 |
| 2 doubles + 1 triple | 12 | SEK 12 | 1 in 1,600 |
| 3 doubles + 2 triples | 72 | SEK 72 | 1 in 500 |

How to approach Stryktipset
Systems are the Swedish way to play. Full systems (M-system) play every combination of your garderingar. Reduced systems (R-system) play fewer rows and promise a lower prize group if your covered results come in. Group play (andelsspel), where many players share a large system, is how many of the biggest wins happen.
Value comes from going against the crowd. Svenska Spel shows how the public has spread its picks. A favourite that most people back pays little when it wins; a well-chosen draw that few people pick pays much more.
English football is draw-heavy below the top flight. The Championship and League One produce plenty of draws. Our Championship and League One predictions show the draw chance for each game.
