What is a Yankee bet?
Full-cover
Yankee — Eleven bets on four selections — any two winners return.
4 selections · 11 bets · any 2 win returns
A Yankee is eleven bets on four selections: six doubles, four trebles and one four-fold (no singles). A £1 Yankee is £11. Any two winners return, and the more that win, the more the doubles, trebles and four-fold stack up.
Add four singles and you’ve got a Lucky 15, where a single winner already pays.
A note on honesty: full-cover and accumulator bets are fun and can pay big, but the bookmaker’s margin stacks up
with every added bet or leg — so we track and publish these for interest, not as proven profit. Our flagship pick is the

Frequently asked questions
How many winners do you need in a Yankee?
At least two — that returns one double. There are no singles, so a single winner returns nothing.
