First step when calculating a Yankee bet is identifying your stake. Once chosen, enter it in the Yankee box alongside other details about your bet; the system will display potential returns based on how many legs have been chosen.
Yankee bets are ideal for those who know exactly which selections they want to wager on prior to entering an event, saving time by pre-populating combinations for you. Similar to an accumulator bet, these work similarly with each selection if any loser still having other combinations at play while an accumulator only pays out when all your selections win simultaneously.
Horse racing offers another type of each-way Yankee bet which involves having your unit stake doubled for every horse you bet on. Although this strategy can be risky, if your selections come through it can bring substantial profits if done successfully.
