Topic: Ever heard of trifecta betting? - page 3. (Read 430 times)

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.

Naturally, you win big. A prediction of the top 3 places in the correct order is immensely difficult in these types of sports, no matter the case you'd have to be rather lucky to actually hit said predictions correctly. I've had a bit of experience watching the race (not betting on it) and there really isn't much to tell depending on who's gonna win, not to mention the top 3. The 1st would naturally be easier to find compared the top 3, heck even the top 2 would probably be easier since races would often have that dominant player more often than not.

Also to link the exact article OP got the trifecta meaning, it's this one:
https://edge.twinspires.com/racing/betting-info/horse-racing/trifecta-bet/

Hehe damn! It's like picking three numbers for a lottery game but with higher chance of winning.

I guess I should pay more attention to horse racing and bet at least once a month.

This is huge and it made me go further and know about it. This practice is there long back itself and came across a winning in which the person who placed $2 have made an whooping $88761
Trifecta Pays Off $88,761 for $2 Bet

That's an unfair reward for something that is really hard to predict.

The winning chance is really low especially for predicting the exact order of winning.

According to the link that OP provided, the example given is,

"If you had wagered $2 and correctly picked the Trifecta in the 2016 Belmont Stakes the Trifecta payoff would have been $2,751."

I've never placed a bet on horse racing but I'm familiar with the term since I used to watch it. May I ask what's the average odds for one trifecta? Can it give you like $100 for $1 bet?

The site is fine but yes access is denied too when I click "bet now" or "deposit". I guess it's only exclusive to the US and some other nearby states.

I think you should remove this part as it's more of you are shilling site aside from discussing the main subject although it's a legit one.

And besides, it's not a crypto-gambling site.

I can't access the site (access denied error) here in my place in an attempt to check if they are accepting bitcoin or crypto in general.


It should really have a big return because it's hard to pick the Top 3 finishers.

Even predicting the exacta which only involved 2 horses that will finish 1st and 2nd place is really tough.

You have to have an extreme amount of knowledge on the horses and the jockeys that are racing on that day to be able to hit a trifecta. It's usually just luck but I've read some stories of people making bets with low amounts frequently, and often wins these. Personally for the fun of it I'd do this too, but if I were to gamble seriously on horse racing I'd pick just one horse, raise my bet, and hope for the best, just like moneylines on sports bets although you have a smaller list of contestants you'll have to choose from.

Look... I'm not very "knowledgeable" person about this... but I'm pretty sure this is something similar to parlay!!

Well, by the way, tot to mention that, but this is very difficult to get a victory in trifecta....

I know about this kind of betting since my father used to bet on horse racing and I happen to see this kind of wagering where they guess the first three horses that will cross the finish line.  I don't know what it was called back then but knowing it right now as trifecta betting.  Though I would rather bet on which is the winning horse because this trifecta even though can give us higher reward increase the difficulty of winning exponentially.

Yes, I'm familiar with the word "trifecta", because I'm a avid fan of horse racing back in the days.

It's more of a challenge for horse bettor as you have to get the winner is successive order, like "win, place or show", meaning, 1st,2nd and third.

There are even what we call "double" bet. When you have to get the winner of a two races, i.e. winner of race 1 and race 2. And to add some fun on it, "double + 1", winner of races 1, 2 and 3.

And then Pentafecta, super 6, and then Winner Take All, So it makes horse racing a exciting game to bet, specially if you get a underdog in those what we call exotic bets.

I'm not familiar with it but it's like parlay. Understanding the keyword there as it forms tri/trio so that's perfect for those who are into this type of betting.

How are the scams are going with this type of bet? Are there setters or groups that makes it easier for them to predict the trio on the particular orders as they've got some insiders the same with other thoughts in betting?

How long have you been using that website?

Not really my favorite when I bet on horse racing I prefer the daily double its hard to win in a trifecta but it's worth it, it's a gamble, in a particular race you can easily spot the strongest and the second strongest but the third one is quite hard to guess I seldom win in trifecta it's easier in daily double or the winner take all, where you bet the winners in 7 successive races.

I somehow stumbled on the word 'trifecta' and as interesting as the name sounds, I got interested and had to find a relationship that connects the word trifecta to betting.
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!
The minimum stake for an online trifecta bet is usually either $.50 or $1 minimum.  Trifecta bets are available at almost all horse racing events around the world. It covers all breeds of racing which includes trifecta bets on thoroughbred racing, trifecta bets on harness racing, and trifecta bets on greyhound racing.
One can make a Trifecta bet online because it is legal and commonly used in the United States and most states around the world.
However, with recent cases of scams parading the online space, one is cautioned to use only legal, safe, and regulated websites like TwinSpires.com.
If one is faced with some of the more complex bets, Trifecta betting might just be another strategy to try out.
