Many people enjoy playing the yeekee lotto – and sales often increase on days like this when the jackpot tops 100 million dollars. With online sales on the rise, however, more and more people are opting to purchase tickets directly from home; unfortunately this trend has lead to Illinois lottery ticket sales declining sharply; they hope that will change once word spreads about this new way of purchasing tickets.

The Yankee is an alternative form of multiple betting which combines eleven separate bets from four selections into a larger multiple bet, such as six doubles, four trebles or even a four-fold accumulator. While less risky than an accumulator due to individual selections not losing when they don’t win, it carries with it an increased price tag due to placing all 11 legs simultaneously.

This strategy can be useful if you feel confident with all four selections but want to reduce risk by only betting two winning legs at once. As shown by the chart below, however, any return must include two successful legs for any significant returns to be shown from such bets.

At Bet Calculator we make it simple to calculate the odds of a Yankee bet; you can either use our powerful bet calculator, or manually. Simply enter each selection’s decimal odds, add them together, multiply that total by your unit stake and divide by the unit stake amount. Don’t forget that each-way Yankee bets may also be possible if horse selections offer place payouts equal or greater than that amount – these bets require placing all races (not each way only).
