Playing the Superfecta
Superfectas are real tricky
since you have to pick the top 4 finishers
in the correct order. This is one bet that
takes skill and a lot of luck to win. If
you have the superfecta, you obviously had
the triactor selected in your ticket. Do
not get mad if you played the superfecta
and missed the tri because it is going to
happen. The choice of what exotic you play
is totally up to you. Here are a few examples
of the way you can play superfecta's. Playing
the same style as we explained for the triacta's
works quite effectively also.
Example $1.00 superfecta
box #1, #2, #3, #4 cost $ 24.00. All horses
must finish in the top 4, it does not matter
what order.
Example: $1.00 superfecta
#1 with / #2 with / #3 with / #4, #5 cost
of this ticket $2.00. The 1 must win, the
2 must finish 2nd, the 3 must finish 3rd,
and the 4 or the 5 must finish 4th.
Example: $1.00 superfecta
#1 with / #2, #3, #4 with / #2, #3, #4, #5,with
/ #2, #3, #4, #5, #6.cost $ 30.00. The # 1
must win, the #2, #3, or #4 must finish 2nd,
the #2, #3, #4,or #5 must finish 3rd, the
# 2, #3, #4, #5 or #6 must finish 4th.
Now that we covered some
ways to play ex's, tri's, and superfectas.
We will show you a few examples of playing
Win 3s and Pick 6s.
Win
3 and Pick 6
Win 3's and Pick 6's are
the wagers that are fun and also take a while
before you find out whether you win or lose
since these races consist of more than one
race. Unless you get knocked out in the first
leg, then it is not much fun. You do have
a chance at winning even if you lose. How
is that, you ask? Some times there will be
no one that has correctly wagered on the combination
of wagers. This means a Win 3 could pay for
2 out of 3 correct winners and Pick 6's also
pay for 5 out of 6 winners if no one has correctly
picked all 6 winners. Here are a few popular
ways to bet these combinations.
Win
3
Example: $1.00 Win 3 #1 with / #2, #3 with
/ #4, #5 cost $4.00. In this example the #1
must win the first leg, the #2 or #3 must
win the second leg, and the #4 or #5 must
win the third leg.
Example: $1.00 Win 3 #1,
#2, #3 with / # 1 with / #1, #2, #3, #4, #5
cost $15.00. The #1, #2, or #3 must win the
first leg, the #1 must win the second leg,
and the #1, #2, #3, #4, or #5 must win the
third leg.
You may add as many horses
in each race as you think is needed to win
your wager. Remember, the more horses, the
more expensive the bet. Some wagers will cost
more then the actual payout. What do you mean?
If all the favorite horses happen to win the
payout will be small. Meaning if you took
5 horses in first leg, 2 horses in the second
leg, and 5 horses in the third leg. This ticket
would cost $50.00 for a $1.00 ticket. The
payoff for a $1.00 Win 3 could be $18.00 you
end up winning, but lose $32.00.
The Pick
6
It works the same as the
Win 3s the only difference is you must select
the winners in 6 consecutive races and the
more horses you have in each ticket the
price goes up very quickly. If you can possibly
find a couple of key horses it will keep
the cost of the ticket down. Remember those
key horses must win.
Example: $ 1.00 Pick 6 #1
with / #2 with / #3 with / #8 with / # 3 with
/ #2, #6 cost $2.00. The # 1 must win the
first leg, # 2 must win the second leg, #3
must win the third leg, # 8 must win the fourth
leg, the #3 must win the fifth leg, the #2
or #6 must win the last leg.
If you decide to play 2 horses
in each leg of the Pick 6 the cost for a $1.00
ticket would be $64.00. 2 (horses) x 2 (horses)
x 2(h) x 2(h) x 2(h) x 2(h) = 64 different
combinations x $1.00 = $64.00.
Tip: If you can find 2 or
3 Key horses and add extra horses in other
legs this will increase your chances at winning.
Example: $1.00 Pick 6 #1,
#2 ,#3 with / #9 with / # 2 with / #2, #5,
#6 with / # 5 with / #7, #4, #8 cost $27.00
In this example there is 3 key horses they
must win. The 3 other legs there is 3 horses,
of those horses in each leg one of those must
win.
