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
Define a Canadian bet.
A Canadian (also called a Super Yankee) is a 26-bet system on 5 selections: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds, and 1 five-fold accumulator. At least 2 winners are needed to return anything.
Canadian vs Lucky 31 — what's the difference?
A Lucky 31 uses the same 5 selections but tacks on 5 singles (31 bets total). A Canadian carries no singles, so it costs less but needs at least 2 winners to return.
How many winners does a Canadian need?
At least 2 winning selections, because the smallest bet type in a Canadian is a double.
What happens to a void selection?
If a selection is void (e.g. a non-runner), every bet using it drops to the next lowest combination. A double becomes a single, a treble becomes a double, and so on.
