What is a Canadian bet?

A Canadian bet is the successor to a Yankee bet (which consists of 4 selections) and falls into the ‘Full Cover Bet' category as it includes all possible multiple bets. So, what is a Canadian bet, what does it consist of, and how do you calculate this bet type?

A Canadian bet (often also called a Super Yankee) is a wager on 5 selections taking part in different events and consists of these 26 bets:

• 10 Doubles
• 10 Trebles
• 5 4-Folds
• 1 5-Folds


A minimum of 2 selections must win to generate a return.

It is most commonly used by horse racing bettors (at this time we don't offer horse races on Betano), but can be applied across all sports and markets.

Note: A Canadian bet is similar to a Lucky 31 in the sense both bets consist of 5 selections, the only difference being is that a Lucky 31 also includes singles.
