Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Flag bet?
A Flag is a full-cover bet on 4 selections that wraps in all the doubles, trebles, and the four-fold accumulator, plus 12 Single Stakes About (SSA) any-to-come bets. Altogether that’s 23 bets.
How does SSA work within a Flag?
SSA (Single Stakes About) ties every pair of two selections together with conditional bets. If the first one wins, a unit stake is placed on the second, and vice versa. That brings 12 extra bets (6 pairs × 2 directions) on top of the standard Yankee.
What does a Flag bet cost?
A Flag bet works out to 23 × your unit stake. So at $1 per unit, you’ll pay $23 in total.
How is a Flag different from a Yankee?
A Yankee is made up of 11 bets (the doubles, trebles, and four-fold). A Flag layers 12 SSA any-to-come bets on top of that Yankee, for a total of 23 bets.
