Super Yankee or Lucky 31?
A Lucky 31 is a Super Yankee plus five singles, making 31 bets. The singles give you a return on one winner but add five stakes to the cost.
Both are on the same five picks. The difference is whether you want cover for a lone winner.
When a Super Yankee suits you
- Five selections where you expect a few to win.
- Spreading a small stake across lots of combinations.
Watch out for
- One winner returns nothing.
- The cost climbs quickly. A £1 Super Yankee is £26, and £52 each way.
