What is a Yankee bet?

A Yankee is a full-cover bet on four selections with 11 bets: 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 four-fold. There are no singles, so you need at least two winners for a return. A £1 Yankee costs £11, or £22 each way.

Adding the four singles turns it into a Lucky 15.

Using the calculator

Pick Per bet to type the unit stake (what most betting slips ask for), or Total to type what you want to spend and let the calculator split it. An each way bet is two bets per line, so it costs double.

Mark each selection as Won, Placed (each way only), Lost or Void. A void (non-runner) is settled at odds of 1.0, so the bet carries on as a smaller bet. Open Rule 4 / dead heat on a row to apply a deduction or a dead heat to that selection.

Worked example

A £1 each way Yankee (22 bets, £22 staked) at 1/5 odds: two winners (5/1 and 4/1), one placed (6/1) and one loser.

The selections

  1. 15/1Won
  2. 26/1Placed
  3. 34/1Won
  4. 48/1Lost

£1.00 per bet, 22 bets (each way at 1/5 odds, 3 places).
