Yankee
A Yankee is a combination bet consisting of 11 bets across 4 selections, covering multiple outcomes to increase the chances of a return.
The 11 bets included in a Yankee are:
- 6 doubles (each pair of selections combined)
- 4 trebles (three selections combined)
- 1 four-fold accumulator (all four selections combined)
Since no singles are included, at least two selections must win for a payout.
For example, if you place a €10 Yankee on:
- Manchester United to win at 2.00
- Barcelona to win at 1.80
- Bayern Munich to win at 2.20
- Juventus to win at 2.50
Your total stake would be €110 (€10 per bet). If only two teams win, you still get a return from the double. If all four win, you maximize your returns with all 11 bets winning.
A Yankee is popular in horse racing and football betting as it provides higher payouts than single bets while offering some protection compared to a straight accumulator, which loses if just one selection fails.
