The trifecta box bet is a popular option for people that are intimidated by the proposal of a straight trifecta. The box let’s you pick three or more horses from the field, whom you think will finish in the top three spots. You are going to 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 wager requires you pick (so ) the winners of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in a horse race. This rigidity means the likelihood of hitting such a wager are low, although the payouts on a $2 wager can be upwards of 3 amounts. Since many horse players flinch at the idea of being able to accurately and consistently choose the top 3 winners out of a field of horses, so many choose the trifecta box wager instead.
Picking the Trifecta Box
Imagine you are going to gamble on the results of an 8-horse race. You decide that you like the 4-5-6 horses, however you do not that of those three is going to win, place, or show. It’s possible to put the three in a box and make that your trifecta pick, and no matter what order those three horses show, you win the wager. But if the 4-5-6 horses end in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th spots, or any combination which isn’t first, second, and third, you’ll lose your bet.
You can add a fourth horse (or more) into the box. Let us say you do not enjoy the 2nd horses place on the inside, but you think that it’s a horse that is dangerous and could break into the top three. To hedge your bets, you might insert the #2 horse in your bet. You would 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.
