What is a Yankee?
A Yankee is 11 bets across 4 selections: 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 four-fold. Unlike a Lucky 15, it has no singles — so you need at least 2 winners for a return. A £1 Yankee costs £11 (or £22 each way).
Yankee vs Lucky 15
A Lucky 15 is a Yankee plus 4 singles (15 bets total). The Yankee is cheaper (11 bets vs 15) but needs 2 winners. The Lucky 15 returns something from just 1 winner plus the consolation bonus. Choose a Yankee if your selections are at shorter odds where singles would return little.

Why no singles?
A Yankee deliberately excludes singles to reduce cost. With 4 selections at short odds, singles return very little — often less than the stake per bet. By cutting them, you save 4 bet units and concentrate your money on the higher-return multiples. The trade-off: you need at least 2 winners instead of 1.
Yankee returns by winner count
With 2 winners: 1 winning double pays out. With 3 winners: 3 winning doubles + 1 winning treble. With all 4: 6 doubles + 4 trebles + 1 four-fold — every bet wins. The more winners and the longer the odds, the faster returns escalate.
