What is a Yankee Bet?
The yankee is a 4 selection wager consisting of 11 bets: 6 doubles, 4 trebles and a four-fold accumulator.
The yankee is rumoured to be named after an American soldier who placed a small bet in the UK and won back hundreds of thousands due to the multiple roll-over mechanics at work.
This is a full cover bet where each selection appears in 3 doubles, 3 trebles and the four-fold accumulator. To understand how winnings change with the outcome, stake size and odds, most people prefer to use the yankee calculator, both before placing a bet and after the outcomes are known.
Two or more winning choices guarantee a return from this wager.
Yankee Composition
The yankee is composed of the following parts:
| Part | Selections (1-4) | Number of Bets |
|---|---|---|
| Double | 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 34 | 6 |
| Treble | 123, 124, 134, 234 | 4 |
| Four-Fold | 1234 | 1 |
| Total: | 11 | |
