Yankee Bet

A multi-bet covering 4 selections with 11 bets: 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 fourfold. Requires at least 2 winning selections for any return.

What is a Yankee?

A Yankee is a combination bet covering all doubles, trebles, and the fourfold accumulator from 4 selections. The 11 individual bets mean you need at least 2 winners for any return. If 3 or 4 selections win, the returns grow significantly — the 4 trebles and fourfold add substantial payouts.

A Yankee costs 11 times your unit stake. Its sister bet, the Lucky 15, adds 4 singles to make 15 bets total, so you can get a return from a single winning selection. The trade-off: Lucky 15 costs 15 times the unit stake.

Accumulator (Acca)

A single bet combining multiple selections — all must win for the bet to pay out, with each successive win multiplying the potential return.

Each Way

A two-part bet common in horse racing but used in some football markets — one part on win, one on place — less common in football.
