Super Yankee Bets Explained

A Super Yankee bet, also known as a Canadian, is a wager consisting of 26 separate bets across 5 selections. It includes 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 fourfold accumulators, and 1 fivefold accumulator, ensuring that every possible combination of your selections is covered. It does not include single bets.

The Super Yankee bet is designed for bettors looking to increase potential returns while still having multiple chances to win. With a Super Yankee, you only need two winning selections to see a return. However, as with any ‘system’ bet, the more winning selections you have, the higher your payout.

When choosing selections, consider the odds carefully. If your selections all have short odds, a return from just two winning picks may not be enough to recover your total stake. Incorporating some longer-odds selections can be an effective way to balance risk and reward.

Since a Super Yankee consists of 26 individual bets, your stake is multiplied by 26. For example, if you place a £1 per bet Super Yankee, your total stake will be £26. The calculator on tthis page allow you to either set a stake per bet or enter a total stake amount and have it calculate the individual stake per bet for you.

The Super Yankee bet originated in horse racing but is widely used in sports betting, including football, golf, and more.

Try different combinations of selections on the Super Yankee calculator to see how your bet could play out.

Super Yankee Composition

A Super Yankee consists of five selections and a total of 26 bets. These bets are used to cover every possible combination of your selections (called permutations). It does not include singles. The equivalent bet containing singles is called a Lucky 31.

Since a Super Yankee contains only doubles, trebles, fourfold accumulators, and a fivefold accumulator, at least two selections must win for a return. The more winners you have, the greater your payout.

Super Yankee Example

Let’s say you place a Super Yankee bet on five horses, with a £1 stake per bet, making your total stake £26.

In the first example all of our horses have odds of 3/1. This makes the example simpler and allows me to show the impact of high or low odds on your returns.

4 Winning Horses£608.00£26.00£582.00
5 Winning Horses£3,104.00£26.00£3,078.00

As you can see, 3 or more winning selections results in a profit. Let’s take a look at the impact of choosing five favourite, all with odds of 1/2.

4 Winning Horses£32.06£26.00£6.06
5 Winning Horses£89.16£26.00£63.16

As you can see, this drastically impacts the number of selections needed to be in profit.

In ther real world, you will almost never have the same odds on every selection. Therefore, your actual returns will vary depending on which of your selections win.

Each Way Super Yankee

An each-way Super Yankee further spreads risk by providing returns even if your selections finish in place positions rather than winning outright.

Each bet in a Super Yankee (double, treble, fourfold, and fivefold) is split into a win part and a place part, meaning an each-way Super Yankee consists of 52 bets (26 win bets and 26 place bets). This doubles your total stake but gives you more chances of a return.

The payout for place bets depends on the event and bookmaker’s place terms (e.g., 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds).

Pros and Cons of a Super Yankee Bet

Pros

A balance of risk and reward – Unlike doubles, trebles or accumulators a Super Yankee will pay out if two or more of your selections win.

Each way variation available – By using the each way variation, you can spread your risk even further by still receiving a payout if your selections finish in place positions.

Cons

Lower payout potential – Since your stake is spread between multiple bets, the overall payout if all your selections win is lower than it would be for a lone fourfold accumulator of the same total stake.

Lower payout for fewer wins – When only a couple of your selections win, the payout may not be enough to regain your total stake.
