How to place a Yankee Bet in the Bookies.
In the high street bookmakers, William hill, coral, Betfred, Ladbrokes etc simply walk in and choose a “yankee betting slit” from the selection which you’ll find on the walls in holders.
These slips can also be marked for Yankee or s super Yankee. In the boxes marker selection, write the names or number of your horses, dogs etc. In the box marked time/meeting section, write the name of the meeting ie: Haydock and the time of the race.
Write the amount per bet in the section @11 bets So £1 for example.
In the total bet, section write £11 for a £1 Yankee.
This is a bit complicated, the best way is to just grab a black slip and write the 4 selections, along with the time and meeting. Then write £1 Yankee if you want a £1 one, and in the total write £11.
Remember whatever your bet amount is you need to multiply it by 11 for the total bet cost.
