What is a Flag Bet?

A Flag bet combines a Yankee (11 bets) with 6 Single Stakes About (SSA) pairs from 4 selections, totalling 23 bets. At least 2 selections must win for a return from the Yankee, but SSA pairs can return with just 1 winner.

Breakdown

  • 6 × Doubles
  • 4 × Trebles
  • 1 × Four-fold
  • 6 × SSA pairs (12 conditional bets)
  • Total: 23 bets

How It Works

The Yankee component (11 bets) covers all combinations of 2+ selections. The 6 SSA pairs cover every possible pairing of your 4 selections with conditional if-then bets, giving returns even from a single winner through the conditional chain.

Example

$1 Flag on 4 selections at 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 4.00. Total stake: $23.

  • If all 4 win: Yankee returns + SSA returns ≈ $280+
  • If 2 win: Winning double + SSA conditional returns
  • If 1 wins: SSA conditional returns only — modest return
