The trifecta box bet is a popular option for people that are intimidated with the proposal of a straight trifecta. The box let’s you select three or more horses out of the area, whom you think will finish in the top three spots. You’ll have to guess all 3 horses to win, place, and show to win any sort of trifecta wager.
As we discussed before, a straight trifecta bet requires you pick (in order) the winners of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in a horse race. This rigidity means the likelihood of hitting such a bet are low, though the payouts on even a $2 bet can be upwards of three amounts. Since many horse players flinch at the notion of having the ability to correctly and consistently pick the top 3 winners out of a field of horses, so many choose the trifecta box bet instead.
Selecting the Trifecta Box
Imagine you are about to bet on the results of an 8-horse race. You decide that you like the 4-5-6 horses, however you don’t that of the three will win, place, or show. It’s possible to put the three in a box and be sure your trifecta select, and regardless of what order those three horses reveal, you win the wager. But if the 4-5-6 horses end in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th places, or some other combination that isn’t first, second, and third, you will lose your bet.
It’s possible to add a fourth horse (or more) to the box. Let us say you don’t enjoy the 2nd horses position on the interior, however you think that it’s a dangerous horse and may break into the top three. To hedge your bets, you may add the #2 horse into your bet. You’d pick a trifecta box of 2-4-5-6, and as long as some combination of those four horses finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, you win the trifecta box wager.
