Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Yankee bet?

A Yankee is an 11-bet system across 4 selections: 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 four-fold accumulator. You’ll need at least 2 winners to see any return.

How many winners does a Yankee need?

At least 2 of your 4 selections have to land. Two winners pays out 1 double. Three winners pays 3 doubles and 1 treble. All 4 hits every one of the 11 bets.

How does a Yankee differ from a Lucky 15?

A Lucky 15 tacks 4 singles onto the Yankee for 15 bets total, so a single winner already guarantees a return. A Yankee needs at least 2 winners but carries a lower total stake.
