Formula
A Canadian (Super Yankee) consists of 26 bets on 5 selections:
- 10 Doubles (C(5,2) = 10)
- 10 Trebles (C(5,3) = 10)
- 5 Four-folds (C(5,4) = 5)
- 1 Five-fold accumulator (C(5,5) = 1)
Total Stake = Unit Stake × 26
Each combination bet multiplies the odds of the included selections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a Canadian bet?
A Canadian (also called a Super Yankee) is a system bet of 26 bets spread over 5 selections: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds, and 1 five-fold accumulator. You’ll need at least 2 winners to get a return.
How's a Canadian different from a Lucky 31?
A Lucky 31 uses the same 5 selections but tacks on 5 extra single bets (31 bets in all). A Canadian skips the singles, so it’s cheaper, but you need at least 2 winners to see a return.
How many winners do I need for a Canadian?
At least 2 winning selections, since the smallest bet type in a Canadian is a double.
What if one of my selections is void?
If a selection is void (say, a non-runner), any bets using it drop down to the next smallest combo. A double becomes a single, a treble becomes a double, and so on.
