You can include selections from any sport or mixture of sports, but Yankee horse racing bets are most common. Whatever the case, it is probably easiest to think of a Yankee bet as a bundle of 11 different bets. These will cover your four selections for every possible combination of double and trebles, as well as for one fourfold accumulator.<\/p>\n<p>A win-only Yankee bet will cost you 11 bets, and an each-way Yankee bet will cost 22 bets. With a win-only Yankee, you will need two of your selections to win for the bet to give you a return. Similarly, for an each-way Yankee to give you a return, at least two of your selections must win or get a place. The more successful selections you have, the bigger return you can expect, as illustrated in the table below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Successful Selections<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Winning Doubles<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Winning Trebles<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Winning Fourfolds<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">1<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">2<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">1<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">3<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">3<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">1<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">4<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">4<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Yankee_Bet_Example\">Yankee Bet Example<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To show you how the Yankee bet works in practice, let\u2019s look at a real-life example.

That would give us a return on all 11 bets that make up the horse racing Yankee wager.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Work_Out_a_Yankee_Bet\">How to Work Out a Yankee Bet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Working out the returns from a winning or partially-winning Yankee takes a bit of time, but it isn\u2019t rocket science by any means. Here\u2019s the process to work through, step by step:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d6d3;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0ed;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"1_Calculate_the_Doubles_Return\">1. Calculate the Doubles Return<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First, calculate the returns from each of your winning doubles. To do that, multiply the decimal odds of the two winning selections together, then multiply by your stake. Going back to our Yankee horse racing example, if both of our A and B selections win at 3.00 and 3.75, and we\u2019ve placed a \u00a31 Yankee bet, our calculation would be:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">3.00 x 3.75 x 1 = 11.25<\/p>\n<p>Repeat this calculation for every winning double that you\u2019ve landed and add the resulting figures together to give you your total Doubles Return.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d6d3;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0ed;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"2_Calculate_the_Trebles_Return\">2. Calculate the Trebles Return<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You now need to do a similar thing for each of your winning trebles. For each treble, multiply the odds of the three horses together and then multiply by your stake. If our C selection wins at odds of 1.57, our calculation for the treble AxBxC would be:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">3.00 x 3.75 x 1.57 x 1 = 17.66<\/p>\n<p>If you only have three winners, you\u2019ll only have one treble to calculate. But if all four selections win, there will be four treble payouts, so you\u2019ll need to calculate each one separately. When you\u2019ve done that, add the resulting figures together to give you your total Trebles Return.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d6d3;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0ed;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"3_Calculate_the_Fourfold_Return\">3. Calculate the Fourfold Return<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You will only need to do this if all four of your selections are successful, and by now, you should be able to guess what\u2019s coming. Simply multiply the decimal odds of your four selections together, and then multiply by your stake to determine your Fourfold Return. Our D selection was priced at 3.75, so our calculation would be:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">3.00 x 3.75 x 1.57 x 3.75 x 1 = 66.23<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d6d3;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0ed;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"4_Calculate_Your_Total_Return\">4. Calculate Your Total Return<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you have your return figures for all of your doubles, trebles and the fourfold, all you have to do is add them all together to determine your Total Return. If all of our selections had won their races, our total return would have been \u00a3218.87, which would have given us a profit of \u00a3207.87.<\/p>\n<p>Note: We\u2019re all for using the old grey matter, but if you some help when calculating returns from your doubles, trebles and fourfolds, you\u2019re welcome to use our <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/bet-calculator\/\">free Bet Calculator<\/a>. That will be especially helpful in <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/guides\/each-way-bet\/\">each-way betting<\/a>, where the arithmetic can be a bit more complicated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"list_how_to\" id=\"how-to-why-make-a-yankee-bet\" >\n    <h2 class=\"list_how_to__title\"><span id=\"Why_Make_a_Yankee_Bet\">Why Make a Yankee Bet?<\/span><\/h2>\n    <p class=\"list_how_to__description\">Yankee betting is very popular among those who frequent <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/\">online bookmakers in the UK<\/a>, and there are several good reasons why. Here are the main ones:<\/p>\n    <div class=\"list_how_to__list_wrapper\">\n        <ol class=\"list_how_to__list\">\n            <li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Payout_Potential\">Payout Potential<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">A Yankee bet gives you the chance of landing a bumper payout when all of your selections win. In our example, a \u00a31 win-only Yankee returned just over \u00a3218 for a total outlay of \u00a311, and the biggest odds on our betslip were 3.75 (11\/4). Bigger-priced selections would give you the chance to win even more.<\/div><\/li><li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Lower_Success_Threshold\">Lower Success Threshold<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">Another reason why people like to make a Yankee bet is that it's more likely to give you a return than a straightforward fourfold accumulator. With an accumulator, you need all of your selections to win to get a return. But a Yankee bet is certain to give you a return even if you only have two or three winning selections. That return might not cover the entire outlay (it depends on the odds of your winners), but it\u2019s a lot better than receiving nothing at all.<\/div><\/li><li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Enhanced_Excitement\">Enhanced Excitement<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">A third advantage of a Yankee bet is that it can be a lot more exciting than a straightforward win single. Watching your selections win one by one, bringing you ever closer to the best possible payout, is something that never fails to get the adrenaline pumping.<\/div><\/li><li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Terrific_Flexibility\">Terrific Flexibility<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">Last, but not least, a Yankee bet is incredibly flexible. While it's most popular in <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/horse-racing\/\">horse racing betting<\/a>, it isn't a bet that's exclusive to horse racing. You could bet on the outcome of a football match, a tennis match, a boxing match and a cricket match, all in the same wager. Not all of your selected events have to take place on the same day, so a Yankee bet could give you days or even weeks of entertainment, depending on the selections you make.<\/div><\/li>\n        <\/ol>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Make_a_Yankee_Bet_Online\">How to Make a Yankee Bet Online<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the Yankee bet explained from a general perspective, we\u2019ll now show you how to make the wager online. It\u2019s actually quite straightforward, as the step-by-step guide below illustrates.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"1_Make_Your_Selections\">1. Make Your Selections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Head to your favourite online betting site and start exploring the markets to see what you\u2019d like to bet on. When you find a competitor you\u2019d like to include in your Yankee, simply click its odds to add it to your betslip. Then explore a bit more to find your second selection and add that to your betslip as well.<\/p>\n<p>Continue like this until you have four selections on your betslip. You can bet on horse racing, football, darts, snooker - whatever you like. So, let\u2019s do just that at Betfair:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18790 size-large aligncenter\" title=\"Yankee Betslip Selections\" src=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Yankee-Betslip-Selections-1024x424.jpg\" alt=\"Yankee Betslip Selections\" width=\"1024\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Yankee-Betslip-Selections-1024x424.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Yankee-Betslip-Selections-300x124.jpg 300w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Yankee-Betslip-Selections-768x318.jpg 768w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Yankee-Betslip-Selections.jpg 1121w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>Here we\u2019ve added a horse called Longshanks to win the 14:00 race at Exeter, Bradford to beat Notts County, Nathan Aspinall to beat Rob Cross in darts, and Chris Wakelin to beat Jordan Brown in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wst.tv\/worldopen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">snooker World Open<\/a>. Note that we didn\u2019t pick these selections based on form - we simply added them to our slip for illustration purposes.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"2_Scroll_to_the_Yankee_Option\">2. Scroll to the Yankee Option<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Next, turn your attention to the virtual betslip and scroll down until you find the option to place a Yankee bet. You\u2019ll then be able to enter your stake, and the potential returns you can expect if all of your selections win will be displayed automatically, as shown below:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18791 aligncenter\" title=\"Yankee Betslip Stake\" src=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Yankee-Betslip-Stake.jpg\" alt=\"Yankee Betslip Stake\" width=\"246\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Yankee-Betslip-Stake.jpg 246w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Yankee-Betslip-Stake-179x300.jpg 179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px\" \/>\n<h3><span id=\"3_Check_and_Submit\">3. Check and Submit<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Last, but not least, have a glance over the betslip to make sure you\u2019re happy with your selections, the bet type and the stake you\u2019ve entered. If you are, tap the Place Bet button (or whatever the equivalent is at your preferred betting site). The cost of the Yankee bet will be deducted from your account right then and there. When all of the events have finished, any winnings that are due will be credited back to your account automatically.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_is_a_Super_Yankee_Bet\">What is a Super Yankee Bet?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We wouldn\u2019t be doing our job properly if we didn\u2019t point out that there\u2019s an expanded form of the Yankee bet called a Super Yankee. This works in much the same way as a regular Yankee, but with a Super Yankee, you get to pick five selections instead of four. It will cover those selections for ten doubles, ten trebles, five fourfold accumulators and one fivefold accumulator. That makes 26 bets in all, or 52 for an each-way Super Yankee.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Yankee bet is an attractive, flexible and exciting multiple bet that gives you the chance to land a big payout for a relatively modest outlay. While it shouldn\u2019t be the main type of bet that you place if you\u2019re a serious sports bettor, it can be a great \u2018fun bet\u2019 to make for entertainment purposes when you want to be involved in four different events.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"Whats_a_Yankee_bet\">What\u2019s a Yankee bet?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>A Yankee bet is a wager that covers four selections for six doubles, four trebles and one fourfold accumulator. That\u2019s the Yankee bet meaning in a nutshell. It is one of the most popular multiple bets in the UK thanks to its versatility and large payout potential.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"How_many_bets_in_a_Yankee\">How many bets in a Yankee?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>A win-only Yankee will cost 11 bets. You can also make an each-way Yankee bet for 22 bets. A \u00a32 win-only Yankee would therefore cost \u00a322, while a \u00a32 each-way Yankee would cost \u00a344.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"How_many_winners_do_you_need_in_a_Yankee\">How many winners do you need in a Yankee?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>A win-only Yankee bet will provide a return of some description if at least two selections win their events. An each-way Yankee only requires at least two selections to win or place in their events to provide a return. The more successful selections you have, the greater your return will be.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"What_is_better_Lucky_15_or_Yankee\">What is better Lucky 15 or Yankee?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>The main difference between a Lucky 15 and a Yankee is that the former also covers you for four single bets. That means you\u2019ll get a return if only one of your selections is successful. The downside is that it will cost you 15 bets instead of 11 (30 for an each-way Lucky 15). Which is better for you is something that only you can decide.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"What_is_a_permed_Yankee\">What is a permed Yankee?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>A permed Yankee is a permutation bet that allows you to cover more than four selections in every possible combination of Yankees.
