In that case, every one of your 26 bets would give you a return.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Work_Out_a_Canadian_Bet\">How to Work Out a Canadian Bet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We recommend using our free Canadian <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/bet-calculator\/\">Betting Calculator<\/a> to work out how much you can expect to get back from a winning Canadian bet. That\u2019s because if all of your selections win, you\u2019d have to calculate 26 separate bets to work out your total return manually. However, if you really want to know how to do things the old-fashioned way, here\u2019s the procedure you\u2019d need to follow:<\/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_Work_Out_the_Doubles\">1. Work Out the Doubles<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your first task is to calculate the returns for each winning double that you\u2019ve managed to succeed with. Calculating a double return is a simple case of multiplying the decimal odds of both winners together and then multiplying by your stake. For example, if Fanzone and Leovanni from our Canadian bet example were to win, and you\u2019d used a \u00a31 stake, you would calculate:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">4.00 x 2.20 x 1 = \u00a38.80<\/p>\n<p>When you have calculated the return for each winning double, add all of those returns together to arrive at a Doubles Return total.<\/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_Work_Out_the_Trebles\">2. Work Out the Trebles<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Next, turn your attention to the trebles that have won. To calculate the return from a treble, you multiply the decimal odds of your three winners together before multiplying by your stake. For example, if Fanzone, Leovanni and Fantasy Master win at odds of 4.00, 2.20 and 5.00, you would calculate the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">4.00 x 2.20 x 5.00 = \u00a344<\/p>\n<p>Again, you need to calculate the returns for each of your trebles and add those figures together to get a Trebles Return total.<\/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_Work_Out_the_Fourfolds\">3. Work Out the Fourfolds<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now do a similar thing for each of your winning fourfolds. Multiply the decimal odds of each winner in the fourfold together, and then multiply by your stake. For example, if Fanzone, Leovanni, Fantasy Master and Graham win in our example Canadian horse racing bet at odds of 4.00, 2.20, 5.00 and 2.63, you would calculate:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">4.00 x 2.20 x 5.00 x 2.63 = \u00a3115.72<\/p>\n<p>Do the same for every winning fourfold and add their results together to give you a Fourfolds Return total.<\/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=\"4_Work_Out_the_Fivefold\">4. Work Out the Fivefold<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you have managed to pick five successful selections, you\u2019ll need to work out the fivefold return. There is just one fivefold possible with a Super Yankee bet, so all you have to do is multiply the odds of the five winners together and multiply by your stake for the Fivefold Return total. If our fifth horse, Phoenix Passion, also wins in our Canadian horse racing example at odds of 2.75, our calculation would be:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">4.00 x 2.20 x 5.00 x 2.63 x 2.75 = \u00a3318.23<\/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=\"5_Calculate_Your_Total_Return\">5. Calculate Your Total Return<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All that remains now is for you to add up your totals for your doubles, trebles, fourfolds, and fivefold to give you your total return for the Canadian bet. As you can see, the process of working out a Canadian isn\u2019t difficult, but it can be time-consuming, so use a Canadian bet calculator if you would rather get on and do other things.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"list_how_to\" id=\"how-to-why-make-a-canadian-bet\" >\n    <h2 class=\"list_how_to__title\"><span id=\"Why_Make_a_Canadian_Bet\">Why Make a Canadian Bet?<\/span><\/h2>\n    <p class=\"list_how_to__description\">The reasons for making a Canadian bet are similar to those for making a variety of other multiple bets.

For example, if all five of the selections we used in our earlier example had won their races, a \u00a31 Canadian (costing a total of \u00a326) would have won you a total return of \u00a31,289.22.\u00a0 Of course, it\u2019s more likely that you\u2019ll get fewer than five winners, and if you only get two then it\u2019s unlikely that you would even recover your outlay. For fans of the Canadian, however, that\u2019s the price of admission for the chance of a big win <\/div><\/li><li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Extended_Interest\">Extended Interest<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">When you make a Canadian bet (or a Super Yankee bet if you prefer that name), you have five different events to keep you entertained. Those events could span hours, days or even weeks, so this bet offers plenty of potential for maintaining your interest for much longer than a regular bet on a single event.<\/div><\/li><li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Two_Winners_Yield_a_Return\">Two Winners Yield a Return<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">Another reason why people like this particular multiple bet is that it guarantees you a return with just two successful selections. As we said earlier, two winners probably wouldn\u2019t cover the 26-bet outlay (unless they both have average odds of 5.10 or better). But any return will help to recoup some of the cost, and three winners at average odds of 3.0 or better would pay for the whole bet and more.<\/div><\/li>\n        <\/ol>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Make_a_Canadian_Bet_Online\">How to Make a Canadian Bet Online<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By now, you\u2019re familiar with the Canadian bet meaning and how the bet works, so let\u2019s explain how to place a Canadian bet online. It isn\u2019t at all difficult, and if you already know what you want to bet on, it should only take a minute or so. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"1_Add_Your_Selections\">1. Add Your Selections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing you need to do is visit any of the <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/\">best online betting sites<\/a> that you have an account with and log in. You can then go through the various betting markets to find your desired selections. After finding a selection that you would like to include in your Canadian bet, all you have to do to add it to your betting slip is tap its odds. Remember that you can bet on any mix of sporting events, so keep going until you have five selections on your slip.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20222 aligncenter\" title=\"Canadian Betting Slip\" src=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canadian-Betting-Slip.jpg\" alt=\"Canadian Betting Slip\" width=\"1024\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canadian-Betting-Slip.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canadian-Betting-Slip-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canadian-Betting-Slip-768x276.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>In the above example, we\u2019ve selected Carlos Alcaraz to win the French Open, England to win <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/football\/euro-2024\/\">Euro 2024<\/a>, Luke Littler to win the PDC World Championship, and two horses - Cool Dividend and Thunder Star - to win their respective races at Haydock. These selections were added merely for example purposes, so don\u2019t take them as any kind of endorsement.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"2_Locate_the_Canadian_Bet_Option\">2. Locate the Canadian Bet Option<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Below the selections, the betting slip should show you the various bets that you can place on them. You should scroll down through the list of available options until you find the Canadian bet. Remember that this wager is also known as a Super Yankee, so it could be listed as that.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20223 size-full\" title=\"Canadian Bet Stake\" src=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canadian-Bet-Stake.jpg\" alt=\"Canadian Bet Stake\" width=\"312\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canadian-Bet-Stake.jpg 312w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canadian-Bet-Stake-211x300.jpg 211w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/>\n<p>Enter your required stake into the Canadian or Super Yankee box, and your maximum potential returns for five winning selections will be shown automatically. In this case, our \u00a31 Canadian (with a total cost of \u00a326) could potentially give us a return of \u00a32,064.31.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"3_Review_and_Place_the_Bet\">3. Review and Place the Bet<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All you have to do now is submit the bet. But before you do that, take a second to review the selections you\u2019ve made and the stake you\u2019ve entered, as mistakes can\u2019t be rectified later. The total cost of your Canadian bet will be taken from your account when the bet is submitted, and any returns that are due will be added shortly after the last event has concluded.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Three_Alternatives_to_the_Canadian_Bet\">Three Alternatives to the Canadian Bet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Canadian or Super Yankee is just one of a whole range of multiple bets that you can make with online betting sites. Here are a few others that you might also want to consider:<\/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<p><strong>Yankee<\/strong> &#8211; This is a more compact version of the Canadian. It covers four selections instead of five for doubles, trebles and one fourfold accumulator. The <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/guides\/yankee-bet\/\">Yankee<\/a> costs 11 bets, making it considerably cheaper than the Super Yankee.<\/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<p><strong>Lucky 31<\/strong> &#8211; Like the Canadian bet, the Lucky 31 covers five selections. It works in exactly the same way as a Canadian, but also covers your five selections for single bets as well as doubles, trebles, fourfolds and a fivefold. It therefore costs five bets more, hence the Lucky 31 name.<\/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<p><strong>Heinz<\/strong> &#8211; If you want to be even more ambitious, the <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/guides\/heinz-bet\/\">Heinz bet<\/a> covers six selections for doubles, trebles, fourfolds, fivefolds and one sixfold accumulator. However, this bet costs more than twice as much as a Canadian, weighing in at 57 bets for a win-only Heinz.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\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=\"Is_a_Canadian_a_good_bet\">Is a Canadian a good bet?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>Like all bets, the Canadian is good if you can make successful picks. If you can consistently pick three or more winners from five selections, the Canadian should prove very useful. However, it isn\u2019t the cheapest bet around, and if you have a modest bankroll, you might be better off making less expensive wagers.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"Is_a_Canadian_bet_the_same_as_a_Super_Yankee\">Is a Canadian bet the same as a Super Yankee?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>Yes. The two names are interchangeable, and whether you make a Canadian or a Super Yankee bet, you will pick five selections, and the wager will cover them for doubles, trebles, fourfolds and one fivefold.<\/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_Canadian\">How many bets in a Canadian?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>A Canadian wager costs 26 bets for 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 6 fourfolds and 1 fivefold.
