What is a Canadian Bet?
A Canadian bet, also known as a Super Yankee, is one of the most popular combination bets in British sports betting. This complex wager consists of 26 individual bets across five selections, offering punters the chance to secure returns even when not all picks come in.
The Canadian bet gets its name from its North American origins, though it’s become a staple of UK betting culture. Some bookmakers refer to it as a Super Yankee because it’s essentially a Yankee bet with 11 bets across four selections with an additional selection added, creating significantly more betting combinations.
