And many more, so many into horse racing and I see none on my topic exactly about betting..weird ...
As for how hard it is, I placed like 9 bets in the week two of them as tricast and I got one out of two at 24:1 ods.
Most bookmakers cap the odds on trifecta some at 150 and some at 250, if you go for a tote when the whole pool goes to the winner you get better results if you get a win with very low odds horses. But with fixed odds it makes sometimes no sense to go for a trifecta, for example picking a random race tomorrow 15:35 Yarmouth
For example 3 horses,
Navy Drums 10.0, Amasova 5.0, Portelet Bay 5.0
You're sure Navy Drums will be a winner and the two favorites will follow him home, a double will be
Navy Drums Amasova at 26.0 and
Navy Drums Amasova Portelet Bay 67.0
For just 250% extra I would take the risk and either bet more on the forecast or put another bet on Navy Drums and Portlet Bay for example.
Just not worth it in this example.
Nope, it's not! If there are 15 horses in a race (which is already a big field for something that ain't the coral cup) there are 2,730 possibilities.
