Dear Clan,

Here is the log after week 3 (Saturday 9th Feb), if there are any queries on your total, please email me, chris@africanbettingclan.com.

The log standings are based on the gross return from a hypothetical R10 unit stake on a yankee bet. The yankee consists of 4 selections, comprising: 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 accumulator.

A quiet week and the top of the log remains unchnaged but top marks to Sabre who had 3 winners and R620 return.

The competition will follow the same format each Saturday to end of Feb and your return each week will be added to your overall total. The Clansperson with the highest overall return at the end of Feb wins R1,000 cash courtesy of our sponsor, the good people of [ www.blackpearlbetting.co.za ]

Many thanks to all who took part this week, new entrants CAN join in anytime, it's all good fun and completely free to enter.

See the log below and thanks again to Black Pearl Betting

Many thanks
ABC

Hi I Chris, I am more convinced now than ever before that the Yankee bet is a BOOKMAKERS BET ( majority of the time )

only 6 tipsters above are showing a profit after 3 weeks. ( Chris can we call yours a profit - R30 YES I suppose a small profit )

I've finally convinced myself now to stop taking yankee bets.... & rather to stick with single bets & all to come doubles & trebles.
Even the double bet at times eludes you... yesterday I took John Nel to win the 1st & the last race - what happened 1st & 2nd )


Chris this is not a case of sour grapes cause I've got no cash in the competition above... but this is more of a reality test FOR ME & waking up & smelling the roses.

the competition, whatever form it takes is good fun & long may it continue.

Just a further question for the ABC folk out there..... did they prefer the old format competition where the first 10 people on the log were vying for top dog OR do they prefer the yankee bet ?

Even if one takes 2 or 3 short priced hoorses in the yankee & only 2 come in, you still don't get your money back.

Comments please.

Elvis I agree that the yankee bet is difficult BUT it makes the competition more interesting and challenging.

Elvis , it proves 1 thing that the yankee bet is not for the feint hearted(i think thats why its not so popular like a double or treble) but just think if they do click then you will make youself a small fortune.

What I would say is that the old format was also fun but you were rewarded with 10 points for selecting a 4/10 shot and the same for 14/1 shot - surely not right even though it's all for laugh. We needed something SP based and the Yankee fits the bill.

Hi Chris, point taken.
But as for my genuine bets, I shall in future stick with single bets & doubles, & if brave enough the odd treble.

Thanks! A little luck went my way; there were some close finishes in that lot. Cuckoo let me down with his horse coming in third. Better have a talk to Lucky... ;)

Analysis of the three week's results shows how difficult the Yankee bet is:
5/68 = 7,35% have "won" on two out of the three weeks
34/68 = 50% have "won" once in three weeks
29/68 = 42,65% have not won in three weeks (including me!)
BUT:
7/68 = 10,29% have won and made money
27/68 = 39,71% have "won" but lost money
61/68 = 89,71% have played and lost money.
Overall it looks like you have a 10/1 chance of showing a profit with the Yankee!!

Interesting stats Brian

If anything these stats should discourage the tipsters above from taking this type of bet - In real life.
I must say I frequently did take this type of bet....with very little success & even when we BET FOR FREE - MOST OF US CAN'T GET IT RIGHT !

I've said it previously, I think my genuine yankee bets are now a thing of the past. Thanks for opening my eyes ... & others too ABC

Thanks Elvis,

For the record, I would like to let everyone know that the last time I won a Yankee "all round" was in 1962 when in those days in UK it cost sixpence (yes 6d) a line !!
So the bet cost 5 shillings and 6 pence. It returned over £200. Bearing in mind that in those days that I was earning, as a young Engineer, 600 pounds a year, this was an absolute fortune. I continued playing the Yankee until I emigrated to SA in 1969 when the bet wasn't available here. So in all those years it just proves that it's all luck. Basically it's trying to pick a straight line Jackpot which is practically impossible as the results of our competion have shown!!
