What is a yankee bet?

A Yankee bet is a way of combining 4 bets with the added security of also having played double and treble bets. When placing a Yankee bet, you are betting on 4 different outcomes in 4 events on 11 betslips which are split into 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 fourfold accumulator. At least 2 of the outcomes must be correct for you to get a return on the Yankee bet. The winning odds are multiplied with each other and then the stake to determine your return.

Example of a yankee bet

For example, if you play a Yankee with a stake of £10 on each betslip (£110 stake in total) on Sevilla to beat Valencia at odds 6/4, Arsenal to beat Tottenham at odds 6/4, Barcelona to beat Atletico Madrid at odds 1/1 (Evens) and Manchester City to beat Liverpool at odds 1/1 (Evens) your return can range from £40 to £1002.50 depending on which teams win their respective matches. If only 1 of the teams win their match your stake is lost.

Pros and cons of a yankee bet

The pro of a Yankee bet is that only half of your outcomes needs to be correct to get a return. The con of a Yankee bet is that you need high odds and/or a lot of correct outcomes to get back your whole stake back and potentially make a profit.

How to use the bet calculator

It's easy to use the Unibet Betting Odds Calculator. First, you need to decide which type of bet you want, of which we have many, from singles, accumulators to Goliaths and Lucky 15s, 31 s and 63s.

Once you've chosen, select your bet type on the calculator (which we've broken out with easy navigational links in the menu) and then decide if you want the odds to be displayed in a fractional or decimal format in the top right corner.

After that, you'll need to input your stake - how much you want to bet. You'll then want to decide if that bet is each way, add any rule 4s, and whether you want to see the selection notes or fold options. We've put a tooltip text over some of these, to give you some explanation if they're unfamiliar. Finally, enter the odds and the outcome: Winner, Lost, Void and/or Dead Heat. If there are multiple selections you would like to make, enter the odds for each one. Simply click the 'Calculate Now' option and both your potential return and profit will be displayed for you.
