Banker bet
Also known as: Banker
A heavily favoured selection used as a banker leg in a system bet — i.e. a selection that must win for any of the system's combinations to land. Some bookmakers offer "banker" structures explicitly (a Yankee with a banker reduces 11 bets to a smaller subset that all include the banker). Concentrates outcome on the banker's success, increasing variance.
