Does Trifecta Have To Be In Order

With this type of Trifecta bet, you lock in the horse to finish first, but cover the permutations of any other number of horses to finish second by selecting 'Any Order' for the other two horses. In effect this type of bet sits somewhere in between both the risk stakes, and bet costs, of. A type of bet, especially on horse races, in which the bettor must select the first three finishers in exact order. A race in which such bets are made.

What is a Trifecta?

• The premise of a Tote Trifecta is to back the three horses that finish first, second and third in the race of your choice.
• When placing a Tote Trifecta bet, there are three ways to bet.
• Big dividend payouts are commonplace when you back the first three horses home in any race.

Winning a Tote Trifecta bet

Straight Trifecta

This is the most simple way, and the one that will generally see you return more on your initial stake. For this bet to you win, you pick three horses to come first, second and third in that order. If you they do, you win a share of the money in the Tote Trifecta pool.

Combination Trifecta

Think you know which trio of runners will come home ahead of the pack, but are unsure of the exact order they’ll finish? A combination trifecta is the bet for you in this case. With this bet you will include the six possible order permutations with your selections finishing in the first three.

You need to remember that by placing a Tote Trifecta of this kind, you are essentially having multiple bets, so your line stake will be multiplied by the number of permutations you are backing.

A Combination Trifecta doesn’t have to be restricted to three selections either. Select as many horses as you like to make up your bet. Once again, because you are multiplying your potential winning lines, you are also multiplying your stake.

For example, choosing four horses in your Combination Trifecta would mean your bet would include 24 bets.

We've reduced the minimum stake for the Trifecta to just 1p per line with a total minimum stake of 50p. This means those big combinations are more affordable than ever.

Banker Trifecta

Think you’ve found the winner of the race, but can’t decide on which horses will follow it home? Then a 'Banker' style Trifecta may be the bet for you.

With this type of Trifecta bet, you lock in the horse to finish first, but cover the permutations of any other number of horses to finish second by selecting 'Any Order' for the other two horses.

In effect this type of bet sits somewhere in between both the risk stakes, and bet costs, of a Straight Trifecta and Combination Trifecta.

Non-Runners in Tote Trifecta bets

The repercussions of a non-runner in a Tote Trifecta bet that you have placed depends on the number of horses you have included.

For Straight Trifecta, a non-runner would deem your whole bet void.

If you have multiple lines and combinations in your bet, only those lines involving that horse would be voided, and your stake returned, the remaining bets will stand.

A trifecta is a parimutuel bet placed on a horse race in which the bettor must predict which horses will finish first, second, and third, in the exact order.^[1] Known as a trifecta in the US and Australia,^[2] this is known as a tricast in the UK,^[3] a tierce in Hong Kong,^[4] a triactor in Canada^[5] and a tiercé in France.^[6] A trio, offered in Hong Kong and France, is a variation in which the order of the horses is not relevant.^[4][7]

Variations[edit]

Boxed[edit]

What Comes After Trifecta

A 'boxed' trifecta is where three horses are selected, and the player wins if these three horses finish first in any order.^[1] Boxed bets are effectively equivalent to placing standard trifecta bets on all six possible outcomes of the selected horses. For example, a boxed trifecta of horses numbered 6, 7 and 9, wins if horses finish in any of these combinations of outcomes:

• 6, 7, 9
• 6, 9, 7
• 7, 6, 9
• 7, 9, 6
• 9, 6, 7
• 9, 7, 6.

Banker[edit]

One horse (the 'banker') is chosen to win the race, and two or more selections are boxed to come second and third. The 'banker' must win in all possible combinations. For example, if horse number 2 is the banker, and the other three choices are numbered 6, 7 and 8, then there are a total six possible combinations for a winning bet:

• 2, 6, 7
• 2, 6, 8
• 2, 7, 6
• 2, 7, 8
• 2, 8, 6
• 2, 8, 7.

Roving banker or banker multiple[edit]

One horse (the 'banker') is chosen to finish in the first three, and three or more selections are boxed for the other two places – the banker must finish either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in each possible combination. For example, if horse number 6 is the banker, and horses number 7, 8 and 9 are the selections, then there are total of eighteen combinations for a winning bet, each with horse number 6 in them, for example:

• 6, 7, 8
• 7, 6, 8
• 7, 8, 6
• 6, 8, 9
• 8, 9, 6, and so on.

History[edit]

The term was first used in the 1970s,^[8] and was derived from perfecta (a bet on which horses will finish first and second)^[8] and tri- (three).^[9]

In the United States, the trifecta was first initiated at Arlington Park in 1971.^[10] It was first used in Australia in April 1977 by TAB New South Wales, and was introduced in New Zealand in December 1983.^[11]
