YANKEEA Yankee consists of eleven bets involving four selections from different events, comprising 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 accumulator. You need two successful selections to guarantee a return.
For example, if the 4 selections and their odds were:
| A = 2.00 | B = 3.50 | C = 4.00 | D = 1.50 |
(Fractional equivalent: Evens, 5/2, 3/1 & 1/2)
a) If all 4 selections won in a €1 Yankee the winnings would be calculated as such:
6 x Doubles
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
| A + B | 2.00 x 3.50 | = 7.00 |
| A + C | 2.00 x 4.00 | = 8.00 |
| A + D | 2.00 x 1.50 | = 3.00 |
| B + C | 3.50 x 4.00 | = 14.00 |
| B + D | 3.50 x 1.50 | = 5.25 |
| C + D | 4.00 x 1.50 | = 6.00 |
4 x Trebles
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
| A + B + C | 2.00 x 3.50 x 4.00 | = 28.00 |
| A + B + D | 2.00 x 3.50 x 1.50 | = 10.50 |
| A + C + D | 2.00 x 4.00 x 1.50 | = 12.00 |
| B + C + D | 3.50 x 4.00 x 1.50 | = 21.00 |
1 x Accumulator
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
| A + B + C + D | 2.00 x 3.50 x 4.00 x 1.50 | = 42.00 |
The total payout for this bet would be the total of all
11 winning bets, in this case €156.75. The bet would cost €11 leaving an
overall profit of €145.75.
b) Using the same odds and stake as above, if only 3 selections won and selection D lost the winnings would be calculated as such:
6 x Doubles
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
| A + B | 2.00 x 3.50 | = 7.00 |
| A + C | 2.00 x 4.00 | = 8.00 |
| A + D | 2.00 x Lose | = Nil |
| B + C | 3.50 x 4.00 | = 14.00 |
| B + D | 3.50 x Lose | = Nil |
| C + D | 4.00 x Lose | = Nil |
4 x Trebles
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
| A + B + C | 2.00 x 3.50 x 4.00 | = 28.00 |
| A + B + D | 2.00 x 3.50 x Lose | = Nil |
| A + C + D | 2.00 x 4.00 x Lose | = Nil |
| B + C + D | 3.50 x 4.00 x Lose | = Nil |
1 x Accumulator
| Selections | Odds | Payout |
| A + B + C + D | 2.00 x 3.50 x 4.00 x Lose | = Nil |
The total payout for this bet would be the total of all 4 winning bets, in this case €57.00 (the other 7 bets are losing ones). The bet would cost €11 leaving an overall profit of €46.00.
