Canadian Calculator
26 bets on 5 selections (a.k.a. Super Yankee) — no singles.
A Canadian is 26 bets from 5 selections (10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds, 1 five-folds). Void/non-runner legs settle at 1.00, shrinking any line they're in. Each-way doubles the stake and pays a place accumulator at each leg's terms.
How a Canadian works
A Canadian — also called a Super Yankee — is twenty-six bets on five selections: ten doubles, ten trebles, five four-folds and the five-fold. It's the five-selection full-cover bet without singles, so two winners is the minimum for a return. Add the five singles and it becomes a Lucky 31.
Worked example: a £1 Canadian costs £26. Five winners at evens return £232 — the trebles, four-folds and five-fold do the heavy lifting once the full slate lands. Two winners return only their shared double, so a Canadian rewards a strong multi-selection view rather than a single banker.

FAQ
Is a Canadian the same as a Super Yankee?
Yes — two names for the identical 26-bet, five-selection full-cover bet.
Canadian or Lucky 31?
The Lucky 31 adds five singles and bonuses; the Canadian is the leaner no-singles version.
Each-way?
Yes — a £1 each-way Canadian costs £52, with a place Canadian running alongside at each leg's terms.
Five legs compound five bookmaker margins, so take each price at its best on the odds comparison. The six-selection equivalent is the Heinz.
