What Is a Super Yankee Bet?
A Super Yankee is a multiple bet involving five selections and 26 individual wagers.
It is a full-cover multiple without singles, meaning it includes every possible combination of two or more selections.
The complete breakdown is:
| Bet type | Number of bets |
|---|---|
| Doubles | 10 |
| Trebles | 10 |
| Four-fold accumulators | 5 |
| Five-fold accumulator | 1 |
| Total | 26 |
Each combination is a separate bet.
For example, a £1 Super Yankee contains 26 individual £1 bets, making the total outlay £26.
Because the bet contains doubles, trebles and larger multiples, not every selection needs to win for a return to be possible.
However, at least two selections must win for a standard win-only Super Yankee to produce a return, assuming no void selections or special settlement conditions.
Is a Super Yankee the Same as a Canadian Bet?
Yes. Super Yankee and Canadian are two names for the same five-selection, 26-bet structure.
Both contain:
- 10 doubles.
- 10 trebles.
- Five four-fold accumulators.
- One five-fold accumulator.
The name used depends on the bookmaker or betting calculator.
There is no difference in the standard number of selections, combinations or unit-stake cost.
You can also use our Canadian Bet Calculator to calculate the same bet.
How Much Does a Super Yankee Cost?
A Super Yankee contains 26 individual bets.
The total outlay is calculated by multiplying your unit stake by 26.
| Unit stake | Total outlay |
|---|---|
| 5p | £1.30 |
| 10p | £2.60 |
| 20p | £5.20 |
| 25p | £6.50 |
| 50p | £13 |
| £1 | £26 |
| £2 | £52 |
| £5 | £130 |
| £10 | £260 |
For example, a £2 unit Super Yankee costs:
26 × £2 = £52.
Remember that the unit stake is applied to every combination, not to the bet as a whole.
Always check the complete outlay before placing the wager.
Super Yankee Bet Calculator Example
Suppose you select five horses, all priced at Evens (1/1), equivalent to decimal odds of 2.00.
You place a £1 win-only Super Yankee.
Your total stake is £26.
The following examples assume standard win-only settlement with no non-runners, Rule 4 deductions, dead heats or bookmaker bonuses.
If One Horse Wins
No standard Super Yankee combinations win because every bet requires at least two successful selections.
Your total return is £0.
Your net loss is £26.
If Two Horses Win
Only one double wins.
At Evens, a £1 winning double returns:
£1 × 2.00 × 2.00 = £4.
Your total return is £4.
After deducting the £26 stake, your net loss is £22.
If Three Horses Win
Three doubles and one treble win.
The doubles return:
3 × £4 = £12.
The treble returns:
£1 × 2.00 × 2.00 × 2.00 = £8.
Total return:
£12 + £8 = £20.
Your net loss is £6.
If Four Horses Win
Six doubles, four trebles and one four-fold accumulator win.
| Winning combinations | Return |
|---|---|
| Six doubles | £24 |
| Four trebles | £32 |
| One four-fold | £16 |
| Total | £72 |
After deducting the £26 stake, your net profit is £46.
If All Five Horses Win
All 26 combinations win.
| Winning combinations | Return |
|---|---|
| 10 doubles | £40 |
| 10 trebles | £80 |
| Five four-folds | £80 |
| One five-fold | £32 |
| Total | £232 |
Your total return is £232.
After deducting the original £26 stake, your net profit is £206.
Super Yankee Returns Table
The table summarises the results for five selections at Evens with a £1 unit stake.
| Winners | Winning bets | Total return | Net result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | £0 | −£26 |
| 1 | 0 | £0 | −£26 |
| 2 | 1 | £4 | −£22 |
| 3 | 4 | £20 | −£6 |
| 4 | 11 | £72 | +£46 |
| 5 | 26 | £232 | +£206 |
These examples use identical odds to make the calculations easier to follow.
Actual returns depend on the prices of the winning selections and any settlement adjustments.
How Many Winners Do You Need on a Super Yankee?
A standard win-only Super Yankee needs at least two winning selections to produce a return.
However, two winners do not necessarily mean you will make a profit.
The number of winning combinations increases as more selections win.
| Winning selections | Successful combinations |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 4 | 11 |
| 5 | 26 |
The final profit or loss depends on the odds and total stake.
For example, two winning horses at relatively short prices may produce a return much smaller than the original outlay.
A larger number of winners can produce a substantially higher return because more combinations succeed.
Can You Place an Each-Way Super Yankee?
Yes, where the bookmaker supports each-way Super Yankee betting.
An each-way Super Yankee contains two sets of 26 bets:
- 26 win components.
- 26 place components.
That creates 52 components in total.
A £1 each-way Super Yankee costs £52, not £26.
The win components are settled at the full win odds.
The place components use the applicable each-way place terms.
For example, a horse priced at 10/1 with one-fifth place terms has effective place odds of 2/1.
If the horse wins, both the win and place parts qualify.
If it finishes in a qualifying place without winning, only the place part qualifies.
The each-way betting guide explains how place fractions and qualifying positions affect returns.
Each-Way Super Yankee Stake Table
| Each-way unit stake | Total outlay |
|---|---|
| 5p each way | £2.60 |
| 10p each way | £5.20 |
| 25p each way | £13 |
| 50p each way | £26 |
| £1 each way | £52 |
| £2 each way | £104 |
| £5 each way | £260 |
A £1 each-way Super Yankee means £1 on every win combination and £1 on every corresponding place combination.
Check the full outlay before confirming your bet.
Super Yankee Versus Yankee Bet
A standard Yankee contains four selections and 11 bets.
A Super Yankee contains five selections and 26 bets.
| Feature | Yankee | Super Yankee |
|---|---|---|
| Selections | 4 | 5 |
| Doubles | 6 | 10 |
| Trebles | 4 | 10 |
| Four-folds | 1 | 5 |
| Five-folds | 0 | 1 |
| Total bets | 11 | 26 |
| Cost at £1 unit stake | £11 | £26 |
Both are full-cover multiples without singles.
The Super Yankee covers more combinations but costs more at the same unit stake.
Use our Yankee Bet Calculator for the four-selection version.
Super Yankee Versus Lucky 31
A Lucky 31 also uses five selections, but it includes five singles.
A Super Yankee does not include singles.
| Feature | Super Yankee | Lucky 31 |
|---|---|---|
| Selections | 5 | 5 |
| Singles | 0 | 5 |
| Doubles | 10 | 10 |
| Trebles | 10 | 10 |
| Four-folds | 5 | 5 |
| Five-fold | 1 | 1 |
| Total bets | 26 | 31 |
| Cost at £1 unit stake | £26 | £31 |
The inclusion of singles means a Lucky 31 can produce a return from one winning selection.
A standard Super Yankee requires at least two winners.
Our Lucky 31 Bet Calculator explains the alternative.
Super Yankee Versus Super Flag
A Super Flag also uses five selections.
However, it adds Single Stakes About bets to the standard Canadian or Super Yankee structure.
| Feature | Super Yankee | Super Flag |
|---|---|---|
| Selections | 5 | 5 |
| Standard multiples | 26 | 26 |
| Additional Single Stakes About bets | 0 | 20 |
| Total bets | 26 | 46 |
| Cost at £1 unit stake | £26 | £46 |
| Minimum winners for a standard return | 2 | 1 |
The additional linked bets mean a Super Flag can produce a return from one winning selection.
However, the total outlay is higher.
Use our Super Flag Bet Calculator to calculate the 46-bet version.
Super Yankee Versus Heinz
A Heinz uses six selections and contains 57 bets.
A Super Yankee uses five selections and contains 26 bets.
Both are full-cover multiples without singles.
| Feature | Super Yankee | Heinz |
|---|---|---|
| Selections | 5 | 6 |
| Total bets | 26 | 57 |
| Cost at £1 unit stake | £26 | £57 |
| Minimum winners for a standard return | 2 | 2 |
The Heinz offers more combinations but requires a higher total stake.
Use our Heinz Bet Calculator to calculate the six-selection version.
How to Place a Super Yankee Bet
A Super Yankee can be placed with a bookmaker that supports five-selection combination bets.
Follow these steps:
- Choose five horses or other eligible selections.
- Add all five selections to your betting slip.
- Open the multiples or combination bets section.
- Look for Super Yankee or Canadian.
- Select the appropriate bet type.
- Enter your unit stake.
- Choose win or each-way, where supported.
- Check that the bet contains 26 win-only combinations.
- Review the total outlay and confirm the wager.
If the bookmaker does not offer the Super Yankee name, check whether the same bet appears as Canadian.
Do not confuse either with Super Flag or Lucky 31, which have different structures.
Our best horse racing betting sites guide compares approved bookmakers, including bet365, William Hill, Betfred, Coral and Ladbrokes.
Check the individual operator’s betting slip to confirm that the combination is supported.
What Happens If a Super Yankee Selection Is a Non-Runner?
If a selection becomes a non-runner and the affected bets are void, the relevant multiple combinations are generally reduced to combinations involving the remaining valid selections.
For example, a double containing one void selection may become a single.
A treble containing one void selection may become a double.
This can change the number and type of bets that ultimately produce returns.
Enter the non-runner or void outcome into the calculator and check the bookmaker’s settlement rules.
Ante-post wagers may have different conditions.
How Do Rule 4 Deductions Affect a Super Yankee?
A Rule 4 deduction may apply when a horse is withdrawn after a fixed-price bet has been placed.
The deduction reduces eligible winnings according to the relevant rules.
If the affected horse appears in several winning combinations, the deduction can influence multiple returns.
Use the calculator’s Rule 4 option where applicable.
Our betting odds guide explains how odds and deductions affect potential winnings.
How Do Dead Heats Affect a Super Yankee?
A dead heat occurs when two or more runners cannot be separated for a finishing position.
The affected selection is settled according to the bookmaker’s dead-heat rules.
Because a Super Yankee contains multiple combinations, the adjustment can influence several individual bets.
Enter the appropriate dead-heat details into the calculator to work out the adjusted return.
Does Best Odds Guaranteed Apply to a Super Yankee?
Best Odds Guaranteed may apply to eligible selections within a Super Yankee, depending on the bookmaker’s terms.
For example, a horse backed at 5/1 that wins at 7/1 Starting Price may qualify for settlement at the bigger price.
However, not every bookmaker offers Best Odds Guaranteed, and not every bet type or selection qualifies.
The promotion may have restrictions involving multiples, each-way bets, race type, timing or the price taken.
Check the terms that applied when the wager was placed.
Our Best Odds Guaranteed guide explains the feature in more detail.
Is a Super Yankee Better Than a Five-Fold Accumulator?
A five-fold accumulator is one bet involving five selections.
All five must win for a standard win accumulator to return money.
A Super Yankee contains 26 bets and can produce returns from combinations of two or more winners.
The difference is the total stake and number of winning opportunities.
At a £1 unit stake:
- Five-fold accumulator: £1 total outlay.
- Super Yankee: £26 total outlay.
The Super Yankee offers more ways to produce a return, but the additional combinations increase the amount risked.
It is not automatically better value.
Is a Super Yankee Bet Worth It?
A Super Yankee may appeal to bettors who want to combine five selections without relying entirely on all five winning.
It offers more ways to produce a return than a single five-fold accumulator.
However, the total stake is higher, and a return does not necessarily mean an overall profit.
In the Evens example above, three winners return £20 from a £26 stake, resulting in a £6 loss.
The bet structure does not improve the underlying probability of a horse winning or guarantee value.
Before placing a Super Yankee, consider the total outlay, the available odds and the amount you are prepared to lose.
