Hi everybody.
At the risk of seeming green, can any of you explain to me ( using short and easy to understand words ) what a Yankee is ?
I have heard it mentionned in race betting before but I see it's also used in sports betting.
Thanks
PS : remember....small words :)

Betting yankee is actually not a single bet. Yankees are one of the multiple bet systems out there, it is a full coverage bet, and they require a fair bit of skill to accomplish. Novice punters and complete amateurs would be wise to avoid them until they’ve had time to study and understand them.

A Yankee is made up of four selections, and being a full coverage bet, it means that all possible combinations of bets from those four selections are included.
So, from four selections, you can make 6 Doubles, 4 Trebles and a Fourfold accumulator. Single selections are not included in a Yankee.

So that is a total of eleven bets placed from four selections to make a Yankee Bet. When placing a stake, your unit stake will be applied to each of the eleven bets. So if you wanted a £1 Yankee, it will cost you £11 in stake.

Again, when you place a yankee bet, you are actually placing 11 bets. The individual bets are 4 doubles, 6 trebles, and one quad. It's not a combination to be approached lightly!
