What Is in a Yankee
| Bet type | Number | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Doubles | 6 | 2 winners |
| Trebles | 4 | 3 winners |
| Four-fold | 1 | 4 winners |
| Total | 11 | 2 winners for a return |
With ₦100 per bet, a Yankee costs ₦1,100. Unlike an acca, one loser does not end the bet. With the default odds (1.80, 2.10, 2.40 and 1.90), four winners return about ₦7,638. If the fourth selection loses, three doubles and one treble still pay about ₦2,221, a profit of ₦1,121. With two losers only one double is left and the return falls to about ₦378.
Yankee vs Lucky 15
A Lucky 15 is the same bet plus four singles, so 15 bets in all. The singles mean one winner already returns something, but the bet costs more. Choose the Yankee when you expect at least two of your four picks to win.
How to Place a Yankee
Many bookmakers offer system bets in the betslip. If you do not see the name Yankee, add your four selections and choose the system options that cover doubles, trebles and the four-fold (often shown as 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4). Check that the betslip shows 11 bets before you confirm.
A void selection counts as odds of 1.00, so the bets that include it pay as if it was not there.
