Well, I cannot deny that I had heard it before, when they were in college, there was a group of classmates who played chess in the club and came in saying that some lost and that others had been very lucky with the winner, but only one man , older adult had won the trifecta, and everyone talked about the man who always and all his life has been there playing horses, and made big bets, what he did not know was that that was what it meant, because mostly they entered was throwing joke, but they had a lot of respect for that man who always won, some even said that they wanted to dedicate themselves to that and leave the university, 'because that man lived on it, he didn't know that horse racing was still so popular.
Topic: Ever heard of trifecta betting? (Read 456 times)
I never heard of Trifecta betting but I think there were something sort of similar in seasonal sports betting. I mean as an example, you try to guess who is gonna win the league and followers. I feel like I surely see this type of bets here in Türkiye before. I think its kind of bet like you get so much for so little. But its nearly impossible to guess 3 in like 15-20 group. And in correct order?! If you can guess that you totally deserve money you got.
The event you're interested in is 3 horses in particular arrive in the first three spots in any order and the other 7 horses arrive at the last seven spots.
All the possible ways that the 3 horses can end up in the first three spots is 3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6.
All the possible ways that the other 7 horses can end up in the last seven spots is 7! = 5040.
You need those two events to happen, so you simply multiply them: 3! * 7! = 30,240.
Now, the total ways in which all 10 horses can arrive to the finish line is 10! = 3,628,800.
So, the probability of winning that bet is 3! * 7! / 10! = 30,240 / 3,628,800, which is 1 / 120, or 0.00833333333333...
There is one in one hundred and twenty chances of winning that bet.
You know you could have just used the permutations formula, right?
In this case for a trifecta (which btw, it's for the exact order) is simply 10!/ (10 - 3)! and for random order is 10! / 3! × (10 - 3)!.
The chances of getting a trifecta are 1:720 simple as this.
In other words, it is more difficulty with a higher prize if you guess right. Well, that happens in gambling in general, you get a bigger prize if you bet on a roulette number than if you bet on red or black, although in this case it is not exactly like that, but in predicting different outcomes that count as a single bet. There are many types of such bets that you can make in bookmakers, especially in sports betting.
The tiny difference is that the read for guessing 3 numbers in a row is the exact same, no matter what the winning numbers, with horses it's one thing if you guess the right favorites coming home in order and completely different if you guess 3 outsides upsetting any predictions, I guessed 4 times in the last two months a trifecta but never one above 60:1, most in the 20-30 region.
I usually do this kind of betting when I'm sure the two in front are going to dominate but there is nothing interesting about betting on them at 2:1, so you start searching for the third, and with 2-3 pics you might still have a 4-6:1 return even doubling the bets to cover the first two random positions.

Trifecta betting is popular in horse or greyhound racing.
TBH, this is the first time I will hear about this Trifecta online bet because I'm not into horse racing bet but according to your explanation giving it a try won't hurt since the risk is small due to the minimum bet to be in the range of $.50 or $1.Since the difficulty of winning the game is high, is there a chance of making 2 or more bets in a single race?
This is also the first time I heard of trifecta betting.
Reading the article that was shared, that was a risky bet but at the same time, really rewarding and tempting.
Does anyone try that bet already in local bookies? How's your experience?
There's a chance that the OP has tried it before. 
Has anyone here actually won a trifecta? Let's see how hard it really is.
A trifecta is a bet in which you pick the first 3 horses in a race, in any order.
The probability of getting your bet right depends on the number of participants in the race, and the probability of each horse to win.
Let's make it simple and assume every horse has the same probability to win, and let's set it as a 10 horses race.
The event you're interested in is 3 horses in particular arrive in the first three spots in any order and the other 7 horses arrive at the last seven spots.
All the possible ways that the 3 horses can end up in the first three spots is 3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6.
All the possible ways that the other 7 horses can end up in the last seven spots is 7! = 5040.

If they happen to finish in the correct order of which you predicted to win, you can win big!
I can relate with this and it should be a big win because it is not easy to wager and get the three spot on a roll that three horses come appearing 1,2 and third. The odds are high just like correct score in soccer and draw are not compared to just any betting odd. However, I have not had such bet in trifecta and I think same word or betting terminology can be used for dog race also.
The thing with trifecta in our country is you have to look at the stake and the pot and of course, the tipster tips, if the majority are predicting three horses in order and the post is too small if the order comes out as predicted, then you can take a risk and pick other horses to be your dark horse usually the third one to finish is the hardest to bet, the organizers make sure there is the heavy favorite and slight favorite in the lineup and it's up to you to pick your dark horse, so the key to win big is to pick your dark horse where the majority is not picking and hope it will come out the winner.

Yes, why not as long as you can afford it I used to buy up to 5 tickets when the odds were high, like what I said trifecta is very challenging even to the most avid bettors, as a horse racer you're not only looking on the horses you also have to look on who's riding it his weight at the time he is riding it, the handicap like the weight that he is going to carry, it's easy to compute if you have a computer program that analyzes this for you, but I know horse bettors who are good at analyzing based on their memory of the horse's past performances.

We have the;
• Straight Trifecta which involves selecting the horses that finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd by making only a selection for each position.
• Boxed Trifecta, which involves making any number of selections with the racers being able to finish in any order.
• Flexi Trifecta which involves taking a percentage of the whole unit of a bet, by throwing in bets one might not have been able to afford.
I hope one should suit your preferred style.
Which site do I think is the best when it comes to online horse races?
Well, no, I hadn't heard that, although I've never bet on horse racing.

The definition of a Trifecta is according to https://edge.twinspires.com/racing, the correct selection of the first, second, and third place finishers across the wire in the exact order.
Trifecta betting is popular in horse or greyhound racing. A small wager can have a big payoff due to the difficulty of accurately picking the top 3 finishers.
Whenever you place a bet on the three horses which you think will finish the race first, second, and third, in a specific order, If they happen to finish in the correct order of which you predicted to win, you can win big!

Predicting exact results can pay out big time but its usually hard to do. Surely greyhounds arent predictable enough to really expect a win on this kind of outcome, I dont know the sport well enough but not like I'd try it in horse racing either. I have done it in esports just naming how 3 matches in sequence ends isnt too hard and 19 to 1 is recent bettable odds I saw, it didnt end with that 'exact' outcome but it was quite close. Any bet others are scared of taking is probably worth considering with any insight possible, still a rare one for me.
When I was active betting in horse racing in our place I use to carry one of these and all bettors have one of these when they are betting it's their guide on the event that they are going to bet, everything you want to know about a particular line up is all here, name of the horses the horse's weight, the jockey that is going to ride his current weight, the handicap weight for each horse, of course, the favorite horse will carry more weight to cut his edge over all the other horses, the name of the trainers, and of course the combination of the horses that sire that particular horse.
It may look complicated because of the many factors to consider but for a long time horse racing bettors just looked at this and analyze this in their minds this was in the olden days but now we have computer programs to analyze this, and trifecta offers a big challenge but I know of a bettor who loves to bet on it and his winning ratio is quite high, horse racing is stake based, it depends on the money accumulated if many pick the right winners the pot is much lesser.

Trifecta is just a name for a specific bet in which you pick the first 3 horses correctly.
Yes, we know that. This thread is not about the meaning of trifecta, but about how fun it can be, or about how sad it can be to have such bet. As for me, I do not think it would be fun to go for such bet, it is very risky, especially if it is virtual hourse racing, but I can still see it as fun with physical horse racing. It's already part of the culture though it's really heartbreaking for those who have a huge concern for animals. In our country, dog racing is illegal because dogs seem like national our pets and are already part of families but no matter what we do, there will be people who will use them to gamble. It might be considered as animal cruelty but we have no control over it. The gambling industry is a huge business after all.
We are even using human racing for gambling 
. But no pressure like using animals. Humans is voluntarily and they take care of their health. Never mind me. Although some people ban animal racing just because of the kind of death as a result of something like heart attack and other health related issue faced from the racing. That is why some countries ban it.
Like you said trifecta betting has been popular around horse and dog racing for a long time. Before I woke up to the sickening reality of horse and dog racing (or animal being used for sport/betting just period) I used to bet trifectas at my local state fair horse races.
Again, horse and dog racing is WRONG, and unless you’re sole-less you should not being supporting this cruelty!

I don't think you can compare it to a lottery on a lottery any number can come up as the winner, on horse racing, there are favorite horses that will likely win in a race, and a potential challenger to that favorite, the trifecta is very challenging because of the handicapping
Not all races are handicap races.
The favorites should overcome the handicapping to be able to win the races, the two strongest horses in the race always have the chance but all the other horses are equal in their chances to win the third spot, that is why trifecta is very attractive to these who are good in analyzing horses and the handicapping method.
Where did you get the impression that there are two favorites and the rest?
The next Uk race, like literally the next starts in 1 min:
Do you see those two favorites?
And all the rest have equal chances for the third spot? just lol.
if bookmakers cannot even predict the first horse over the line then how it a punter meant to pick three horses in a row over the line?
maybe I'm special.
But if you actually try it and with many different ways to win like the Trifecta, it will become so hard because there are a lot of horses that you need to pick and then you also have to take into consideration the distance, the jockeys and who is the horse racing to.
And where is that horse racing to also, some might run to Walmart and some to pizza hut.
"there are a lot of horses that you need to pick"
No! It's a damn trifecta, you have to pick exactly 3 horses! Not 2 not fr not many not little, 3!
I'm also a big fan of horse racing, and if I'm not mistaken, I exchange message with some members regarding this years ago.
And in paper it seems that you might think your chances are high or this sports is easy to win. But if you actually try it and with many different ways to win like the Trifecta, it will become so hard because there are a lot of horses that you need to pick and then you also have to take into consideration the distance, the jockeys and who is the horse racing to. So you have to review a lot before you can hit that Trifecta bet.
