With there being a total of eleven individual bets spanning across four different selections, this can, therefore, be rather tricky to work out the total winnings – if the bet is to come through, that is.
This is where the Yankee bet, betting calculator comes in
To use the calculator, first, enter the stake in which you wish to place. However, do remember that for every £1, you bet this is equal to £11 as you are actually betting on a total of eleven individual bets. Once you’ve placed your desired stake, next enter the odds in which the bookmaker have provided – these may be in either fractions, decimal, or in some cases American format. Next, decide whether or not you’d like to place your bet each-way, this is popular for sports such as horse racing. Finally, you must choose whether or not the Rule of 4 applies to your bet.

Yankee bets and each-way betting
Yankee bets are much more challenging to win than traditional bets. However, this does not go to say you should shy away from using them. If done right, Yankee bets can actually be super beneficial.
Personally, we suggest placing Yankee bets both normally and each-way. However, if you are placing an each-way bet, it is important to remember that this would double your initial stake. For example, let’s say your initial stake was £1 on each of the eleven bets, this would be a total of £11 for a traditional Yankee bet. For an each-way bet, then, this would double the stake, and the new bet would then be for £22.
Placing each-way Yankee bets with traditional Yankee bets can be a great way to spread your funds while making some serious money – we suggest covering different selections on the horse racing.
