How it works
- Every combination of your 4 selections is a separate bet: 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 fourfold, 11 in total.
- Each bet returns your unit stake multiplied by the decimal odds of every selection in it. One losing leg makes that bet lose; a void or non-runner leg counts as odds of 1.0.
- Each-way doubles the stake to 22 bets: the place part settles every placed or winning selection at the place fraction of the odds (for example 1/4 odds a place).
Worked examples
All 4 win at 2/1, £1 stakes
Return £243.00 from a £11.00 outlay, profit £232.00.
2 of 4 win at 2/1
Return £9.00 for £11.00 staked, so a loss of £2.00.
1 of 4 wins at 5/1
No return: with one winner every Yankee bet has a losing leg, so the whole £11.00 is lost.
