Yankee Bet Explained

Yankee Bet Explained

Those who have placed bets on a betting site before might be familiar with the term Yankee Bet, but knowing how it actually works is a different story. A Yankee Bet consists of four selections, similarly to a Lucky 15 bet, but it differs from there on as these selections are spread out over 11 different parts:

• 6 doubles
• 4 trebles
• 1 four-fold accumulator.

As there are no single bets in a Yankee, you will need two or more winning selections to guarantee a return from this wager. However, it may not be more than your initial stake depending on the odds of your selections.

Remember, a Yankee bet will cost 11x your stake, as you are placing 11 different bets. For example, a £1 Yankee bet will cost £11 in total. Use this free Yankee bet calculator to work out your returns.

Yankee bets are available on almost all UK betting sites and are mostly used on popular horse racing betting sites. However, you can also place Yankee bets on football, ice hockey, and most other sports. Also, you can place win-only or each-way Yankee bets for racing events.
