Trifecta Bets in OTB

In this segment we're going to cover the bet Trifecta. A Trifecta is sort of like an Exacta, except instead of being first and second, we're going to add a position. It's going to be first, second and third place. When you place this bet, you're going to give us a series of numbers, let's say one, two, three. As long as one comes in first, two comes in second and three comes in third, you'll win. If they come in any other order, then that order, it won't win. We recommend either wheeling this bet or boxing this bet, to increase your chances of winning. So, if you wanted to, let's say wheel that bet. You're pretty sure the one's going to come in, so we do one top top, two and three in second, and two and three in third, meaning that one has to come in first and now we don't care whether the two or three comes in second or third, as long as they come in second or third. The other option is to box this bet being one, two, three, now any of them can come in first, any of those three can come in second and any of those three can come in third. This is a way of making more money than say the Quinella, the Exacta, the Win, Place, Show, just the Win bet, the Show bet, or just the Place bet. The average amount of money you can make this bet ranges from anywhere from about eighty six all the way up into let's say the thousands. The most money I've seen on a specific Trifecta was eleven thousand dollars for a two dollar Trifecta. And, that's basically Trifecta's in a nut shell.
