What is a Canadian bet?
A Canadian — also called a Super Yankee — is 26 bets across 5 selections: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds, and 1 five-fold accumulator. No singles. You need at least 2 winners for a return. A £1 Canadian costs £26 (or £52 each way).
Canadian vs Lucky 31
A Lucky 31 is a Canadian plus 5 singles (31 bets total). The Canadian is cheaper (26 vs 31 bets) but needs 2 winners. The Lucky 31 pays something from 1 winner with the consolation bonus. Choose a Canadian when your selections are at shorter odds where singles would return little.

Canadian returns by winner count
With 2 winners: 1 winning double. With 3: 3 doubles + 1 treble. With 4: 6 doubles + 4 trebles + 1 four-fold. With all 5: every bet wins including the five-fold accumulator. The five-fold alone can produce very large returns at longer odds.
Canadian vs other full-cover bets
The Canadian sits between a Yankee (4 selections, 11 bets) and a Heinz (6 selections, 57 bets) in the full-cover-without-singles family. Adding the Lucky 31's singles gives you safety but costs 5 more bet units. The Canadian is the sweet spot for many bettors — enough combinations for meaningful returns without the outlay of a Heinz.
