What is a Yankee Bet?

A Yankee consists of 11 bets from 4 selections: 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 four-fold accumulator. At least 2 selections must win for any return. No singles are included.

Breakdown

  • 6 × Doubles (AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD)
  • 4 × Trebles (ABC, ABD, ACD, BCD)
  • 1 × Four-fold (ABCD)
  • Total: 11 bets

Why Choose a Yankee?

A Yankee provides broad coverage of 4 selections. Unlike a four-fold accumulator, you still get returns if only 2 or 3 of your selections win. The trade-off is a higher total stake (11 units vs 1).

Example

$1 Yankee on selections at 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, and 4.00 (total stake: $11):

  • If all 4 win: 6 doubles ($47) + 4 trebles ($116) + 1 four-fold ($60) = $223 (profit $212)
  • If 3 win (A, B, C): 3 doubles + 1 treble pay out
  • If 2 win (A and D): 1 winning double = $8 (loss of $3 on $11 staked)

Yankee vs Lucky 15

A Lucky 15 adds 4 singles to the Yankee, giving 15 bets. This means 1 winner produces a return, but it costs 4 more units of stake. Choose the Yankee when you are confident at least 2 will win.
