    Hi can anybody help me with this?

    Yesterday I backed a €3 yankee cost €33 but I had 2 non runners so am I entitled to some of my money back for the non runners?

    A yankee has

    6 doubles
    4 trebles
    1 four fold

    1 of your doubles will have the two non runners in it. That would be money back wouldn't it be?

    For the other bets any other double involving the horses become a single on the other. The 3 fold with both in becomes a single, the other 3 folds involving each horse become doubles. The fourfold is now a double on the other 2 horses

    You can use betcalculator to work it out.

    http://betcalculator.com/

    Edit: The two non runners throws it off.

    PP have a better calculator on their site.

    Returns €75

    €3 is the refund due to the non runner

    You'll also have what are in effect 3 singles on the winner. A "treble" involving the winner & 2 NRs and then 2 "doubles", involving the winner and each of the non runners

    I make it as Imhof does, €75

    You'd be better off putting down "If Any Non-Runners, Sub Favourite" on the docket, if you did it in a betting office.

    If he'd done that, he would probably not be getting 75 euro back.

    If he fancied the fav, he would have selected it in the first place.

    don't think any bookies even take conditional bets any more
