What Is a Yankee Bet?

A Yankee bet is a popular full cover bet comprising 11 individual bets from four selections. Unlike an accumulator, it offers returns even if not all selections win, making it ideal for spreading risk while aiming for a significant payout. Originating from an American soldier's UK bet, it's widely used in sports like horse racing and football for strategic multi-prediction betting.

How Does a Yankee Bet Work?

A Yankee bet automatically covers all 11 combinations from four selections (1, 2, 3, 4): 6 doubles (1&2, 1&3, 1&4, 2&3, 2&4, 3&4), 4 trebles (1&2&3, 1&2&4, 1&3&4, 2&3&4), and 1 four-fold accumulator (1&2&3&4). You place an equal unit stake on each of these 11 bets, meaning a €1 unit stake results in an €11 total outlay. For any return, at least two selections must win, triggering payouts from the doubles, with more winning selections leading to significantly larger overall returns as more combinations come in.

Yankee Bet Calculation Example

Let's illustrate a Yankee bet with 4 football selections and a £10 unit stake (total outlay £110):

Selections:

Selection 1: Odds 6/4 → Win
Selection 2: Odds 2/1 → Win
Selection 3: Odds 1/1 → Lost
Selection 4: Odds 3/1 → Win

How Winning Combinations are Calculated: Since Selection 3 lost, all combinations including it return £0.
We only calculate the winning bets:

1. Doubles:
   Sel 1 × Sel 2 → £10 × (2.5 × 3.0) = £75.00
   Sel 1 × Sel 4 → £10 × (2.5 × 4.0) = £100.00
   Sel 2 × Sel 4 → £10 × (3.0 × 4.0) = £120.00
2. Treble: (All lost as only one selection won)
   Sel 1 × Sel 2 × Sel 4 → £10 × (2.5 × 3.0 × 4.0) = £300.00
3. Sel 1 × Sel 2 × Sel 3 × Sel 4 → Lost → £0.00

Total Stake: £110.00
Total Return: £75 + £100 + £120 + £300 = £595.00
Total Profit: £595.00 - £110.00 = £485.00

This example clearly shows how a Yankee Bet Calculator helps compute returns even with a losing selection, highlighting the bet's inherent safety net.
