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 the Canadian bet.
A Canadian (also called a Super Yankee) is a 26-bet system across 5 selections: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds, and 1 five-fold accumulator. A minimum of 2 winners is required for any return.
Canadian versus Lucky 31 — what differs?
A Lucky 31 uses the same 5 selections but adds 5 single bets (31 bets total). The Canadian carries no singles, so it costs less yet demands at least 2 winners to return anything.
How many winners does a Canadian require?
At least 2 winning selections are needed for a return, since the smallest bet type in a Canadian is a double.
What is the effect of a void selection?
When a selection voids (e.g., a non-runner), every bet containing it drops to the next lowest combination: a double reduces to a single, a treble to a double, and so on.
