What is a Canadian bet?

A Canadian (also called a Super Yankee) is a full-cover bet on five selections combining into 26 bets: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds and 1 five-fold. It has no singles, so you need at least two winners for a return.

Why is it also called a Super Yankee?

Because it is the five-selection version of a Yankee. A Yankee is 4 selections (11 bets); adding a fifth selection with the same no-singles structure gives the Canadian / Super Yankee (26 bets).

How many winners do I need in a Canadian?

At least two, because there are no singles. Two winners complete a double; more winners add the trebles, four-folds and the five-fold.

What is the difference between a Canadian and a Lucky 31?

Both use five selections. A Lucky 31 adds the 5 singles (31 bets) so one winner already pays. A Canadian has 26 bets (no singles) and needs two winners - cheaper, but with no single-winner safety net.

How much does a Canadian cost?

Your unit stake x 26. A EUR0.50 Canadian costs EUR13; a EUR1 Canadian costs EUR26. An each-way Canadian doubles that to 52 bets.

What is a Canadian?

A Canadian — also known as a Super Yankee — is a full-cover bet on five selections, combined into 26 bets: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds and 1 five-fold. There are no singles, so you need at least two winners for a return.

Think of it as a Yankee scaled up to five selections, or a Lucky 31 with the singles removed. It's a popular horse-racing multiple for backing five fancied runners without paying for singles.

Worked example

Five selections, all at odds of 3.00, with a €1 unit stake (€26 total). If all five win:

10 doubles €90 + 10 trebles €270 + 5 four-folds €405 + 1 five-fold €243
Total return = €1,008, a €982 profit on your €26 stake.

With only two or three winners you'd still collect the doubles and trebles between them — tap Won/Lost to settle.
