- 10 Doubles (C(5,2) = 10)
- 10 Trebles (C(5,3) = 10)

Total Stake = Unit Stake × 26
Each combination bet multiplies the odds of the included selections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a Canadian bet?
A Canadian — also referred to as a Super Yankee — is a system wager made up of 26 bets over 5 selections: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds and a single five-fold accumulator. A minimum of 2 winners is required before any return is generated.
What sets a Canadian apart from a Lucky 31?
A Lucky 31 takes the very same 5 selections but layers on 5 extra single bets, bringing the count to 31. The Canadian carries no singles, which makes it cheaper, but it does demand at least 2 winners before paying out.
How many winners does a Canadian require?
At least 2 winning selections are needed to draw a return from a Canadian, since the smallest bet type within it is the double.
What is the effect of a void selection?
Should a selection be voided — a non-runner, for instance — every bet containing it steps down to the next combination below. A double collapses into a single, a treble into a double, and so on.
